Mechanism of action of antibody to capsular polysaccharide in Cryptococcus neoformans infection.
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated fungus that causes meningoencephalitis in 5-10% of patients with AIDS. While the immune response that controls infection is predominantly cell-mediated, Ab-mediated immunity is being studied for therapeutic use. mAbs to glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), the predominant constituent of the polysaccharide capsule are protective in a variety of murine infection m...
متن کاملAntibody response to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine in Down syndrome patients.
The majority of children with Down syndrome (DS) tend to have frequent bacterial infections including recurrent respiratory infections. Our objective was to evaluate the production of antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharide antigens after active immunization in DS subjects. IgG antibodies to pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 6B, 9V, and 14) were measured before and 6 weeks after immunization with...
متن کاملAntibody response to Cryptococcus neoformans capsular polysaccharide glucuronoxylomannan in patients after solid-organ transplantation.
Cryptococcosis is an important complication of solid-organ transplantation, but the risk factors for disease are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to investigate whether specific or nonspecific serum immunoglobulin levels determined in samples obtained before and after solid-organ transplantation differed in patients who did or did not develop cryptococcosis after transplantation. W...
متن کاملAntibody response to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccination in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or on dialysis are at greater risk of infection, which might be due to a defective immune function. While there are controversial reports on efficacy of vaccination in this group of patients, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibody response to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) in CKD patients. Sixty-six patients with CKD a...
متن کاملAnti-Pneumococcal Capsular Polysaccharide Antibody Response and CD5 B Lymphocyte Subsets.
The role of CD19(+) CD5(+) and CD19(+) CD5(-) B cell subpopulations in the antibody response to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides (caps-PSs) is controversial. In the present study, we evaluated the role of human CD19(+) CD5(+) and CD19(+) CD5(-) cell populations in the serotype-specific antibody response to caps-PS. After vaccination of 5 healthy human adults with Pneumovax (23-valent pneum...
