MOG antibody-associated optic neuritis in the setting of acute CMV infection
A previously healthy 39 year old man was admitted to our hospital with subacute pain and blurred vision in the right eye, in the absence of fever. Physical exam was notable for mydriasis and relative afferent pupillary defect of the right pupil. Visual acuity was 0.5 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye. Funduscopic examination of the right eye revealed mild papilledema without concurrent r...
متن کاملRole of Lymphotoxin in T-Cell Responses during an Acute Viral Infection
The importance of lymphotoxin (LT ) in lymphoid organogenesis is well established. Although LT has been implicated in the pathogenesis of T-cell-mediated immunopathologies, the requirement for LT in T-cell activation and effector function in vivo is not well understood. To determine the role of LT in T-cell activation in vivo, we compared the generation of antigen-specific T-cell responses betw...
متن کاملInfection with Toxoplasma gondii alters lymphotoxin expression associated with changes in splenic architecture.
B cell responses are required for resistance to Toxoplasma gondii; however, the events that lead to production of class-switched antibodies during T. gondii infection have not been defined. Indeed, mice challenged with the parasite exhibited an expansion of T follicular helper cells and germinal center B cells in the spleen. Unexpectedly, this was not associated with germinal center formation a...
متن کاملIgM antibody response in acute hepatitis C viral infection.
IgM antibody against hepatitis C virus (IgM anti-HCV) was measured in serial samples from 15 transfusion recipients in whom posttransfusion chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) developed and three plasmapheresis donors during acute HCV infection using recombinant proteins derived from three immunodominant regions: core, NS-3, and NS-4 (c100). IgM anti-HCV core was detected in 13 of 15 posttra...
