Neoglycoproteins as carbohydrate antigens: synthesis, analysis, and polyclonal antibody response.

The analysis and polyclonal antibody response for newly synthesized maltose-BSA conjugate neoglycoproteins is described. In this first proof of concept study, a simple carbohydrate antigen, maltose, was linked to BSA by reductive amination. An aglycone spacer was utilized to conserve the intact annular maltose structure and to promote the accessibility of the carbohydrate immunogen hapten durin...

Immunopathological study of periodontal disease VI. Localization and function of T-cell in inflamed human gingiva

Abstract : The localization and function of T-cells in the inflamed human gingivae were revealed by immunopathological studies. 21 of 40 gingival specimens showed flourescence positive by staining with FITC-labeled rabbit antiserum to human thymocytes. T-cells were mainly detected in the subepithelial connective tissue and partially in the deep layer of the gingiva as a cluster or scatter patte...

The Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria

Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
