Anomalous antibody responses in viral infection: specific stimulation or polyclonal activation?
Eighteen paired serum samples submitted for serodiagnosis of current infection showed anomalous antibody results by complement fixation test when tested with a battery of agents (viruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and chlamydia) selected for testing on the basis of the symptoms of the patient. Seventeen serum pairs showed a fourfold or greater rise in titer of antibody to two agents in the battery...
متن کاملAntibody Responses during Hepatitis B Viral Infection
Hepatitis B is a DNA virus that infects liver cells and can cause both acute and chronic disease. It is believed that both viral and host factors are responsible for determining whether the infection is cleared or becomes chronic. Here we investigate the mechanism of protection by developing a mathematical model of the antibody response following hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We fitted the...
متن کاملCharacterization of a specific polyclonal antibody
Lipid hydroperoxide may react with protein or amino phospholipid without secondary decomposition. We prepared a polyclonal an tibody to lipid hydroperoxide-modified proteins using 13S-hydroperoxy-9Z, 1 1E-octadecadienoic acid-modified keyhole limpet hemocyanin (13-HPODEKLH) as immunogen. The antibody recognized 13-HPODEmodified bovine serum albumin (BSA), but not aldehydemodified proteins, such...
متن کاملStimulation of Camel Polyclonal Antibody against Human T cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin 3
Background: T cell Immunoglobulin, Mucin (TIM)-3, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to TIM family. This receptor expresses on T helper type 1 (Th1) cells that binds to galectin-9 (Gal9); inducing an inhibitory signal. As a result, apoptosis of Th1 cells occurs and cytotoxicity of CD8 T cells becomes evident in vitro. Therefore, this immunomodulatory molecule may ...
متن کاملHIV-Specific Antibody Responses in HIV-Infected Patients: From a Monoclonal to a Polyclonal View.
HIV infections represent a major global health threat, affecting more than 35 million individuals worldwide. High infection rates and problems associated with lifelong antiretroviral treatment emphasize the need for the development of prophylactic and therapeutic immune intervention strategies. It is conceivable that insights for the design of new immunogens capable of eliciting protective immu...
