A Capture ELISA for the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Using a Monoclonal Antibody against a Leishmanial
capture ELISA system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of VL patients. Urine samples from confirmed VL cases from Yemen, Nepal, Spain, Sudan and Brazil were tested in the capture ELISA in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...
متن کامل1086 Monoclonal Antibody Against
Immune response (Ir) loci that map in the I region of the H-2 gene complex regulate the capacity to generate an immune response against numerous foreign antigens (1). Loci that map in the I region also control polymorphic~cell surface antigens that are expressed in immunocompetent cells (I-region-associated antigens or Ia loci) (2) and antigens that stimulate T cell proliferative responses betw...
متن کاملRole of endolysosomes in HIV-1 Tat-induced neurotoxicity
Combined anti-retroviral therapeutic drugs effectively increase the lifespan of HIV-1-infected individuals who then have a higher prevalence of HAND (HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorder). Soluble factors including HIV-1 proteins released from HIV-1-infected cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of HAND, and particular attention has been paid to the HIV-1 Tat (transactivator of tra...
متن کاملA monoclonal antibody against a Na(+)-L-glutamate cotransporter from rat brain.
A monoclonal mouse IgM antibody (Z8E9) was raised against the Na(+)-L-glutamate cotransporter from rat brain. In a preparation of brain plasma membrane vesicles, Z8E9 binds specifically to a polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 70,000 and inhibits Na+ gradient-dependent L-glutamate cotransport (up to 50%) in brain membrane vesicles. In the membrane vesicles, the antibody does not al...
متن کاملHeterologous Immunization, a Way out of the Problem of Monoclonal Antibody Production against Carcinoma Antigen 125
Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential tools for many molecular im-munology investigations, epitope mapping and molecular modelling, clinical laboratory di-agnostic tests and immunotherapy. Humoral immune response of immunized animals largely depends on the nature of antigen and the immunization technique. Polysaccharides and heavily-glycosylated proteins are very elusive target...
