Antibody and Cell Mediated Immunity in Corticosteroid-treated Chicks ,

EVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES

Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...

Antibody-Mediated Catalysis in Infection and Immunity.

The existence of catalytic antibodies has been known for decades. Natural antibodies capable of cleaving nucleic acid, protein, and polysaccharide substrates have been described. Although the discovery of catalytic antibodies initially aroused great interest because of their promise for the development of new catalysts, their enzymatic performance has been disappointing due to low reaction rate...

New concepts in antibody-mediated immunity.

After stimulating the development of immunology in the early 20th century, the study of the functional aspects of antibody-mediated immunity (AMI) stagnated in the 1960s because the function of antibodies (Abs) was considered understood and available Ab preparations were limited to polyclonal immune sera. Abs in polyclonal sera are heterogeneous, and the uniqueness of each preparation with resp...

EVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...
