Myeloperoxidase, modified lipoproteins, and atherogenesis.
Numerous lines of evidence implicate a role for myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Enriched within vulnerable plaque, MPO serves as an enzymatic source of eicosanoids and bioactive lipids and generates atherogenic forms of both low- and high-density lipoproteins. These factors likely contribute to clinical studies demonstrating that increased systemic levels of MPO an...
متن کاملPRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMORAL IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST MUSTARD GAS
One of the promising aspects of the immunological research on chemical war gas is to investigate the immunogenicity of some hazardous compounds such as mustard gas. Mustard gas is categorized as a "hapten" based on its physical and chemical properties. Haptenic chemicals which do not possess immunogenicity could be immunogenic experimentally when conjugated with a suitable protein carrier...
متن کاملHumoral Immune Response to AAV
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a member of the family Parvoviridae that has been widely used as a vector for gene therapy because of its safety profile, its ability to transduce both dividing and non-dividing cells, and its low immunogenicity. AAV has been detected in many different tissues of several animal species but has not been associated with any disease. As a result of natural infection...
متن کاملHumoral immune response to Diphtheria and Tetanus toxoids by intranasal administration
The immunogenicity of ten different formulations of intranasal diphtheria and tetanus vaccines which containing different absorption enhancers, adjuvants and other excipients were determined in guinea pigs by the serum neutralization (SN) method. From these ten formulations, it was selected four formulations which gave significant immunogenicity in guinea pigs. In order to design the "final f...
متن کاملHumoral and Mucosal-Humoral Immune Response to a Salmonella Vaccina
Although vaccination against Salmonella has been used more frequently in broiler breeders in recent years, there is limited information in the literature demonstrating the immunological response of combinations of live and killed whole cell vaccines. The present research assesses the immunological response generated by three different vaccination protocols. Treatment vaccines consisted of a liv...
