High avidity IFN-neutralizing antibodies in pharmaceutically prepared human IgG.
This paper demonstrates and characterizes naturally occurring antibodies to interferon (IFN) in human IgG preparations. In vitro neutralization of the antiviral effect of IFN alpha and IFN beta, but not IFN gamma, was observed in 12 of 15 normal IgG preparations. The neutralizing capacity was higher against rIFN alpha 2A and rIFN alpha 2C than against lymphoblastoid IFN alpha and IFN beta. Früh...
متن کاملIgG antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus in cystic fibrosis.
Serum was collected from 50 patients with cystic fibrosis, and IgG antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, total IgE and Aspergillus specific IgE antibodies were measured in 41 of the 50. A close association was found between pulmonary function and clinical state, and IgG antibodies to Aspergillus. There was no association bet...
متن کاملIgG Avidity Antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in High Risk Females of Reproductive Age Group in India
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan that is distributed worldwide. Recently, several tests for avidity of Toxoplasma IgG antibodies have been introduced to help discriminate between recently acquired and distant infections. The study was conducted in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, India from February 2011 to September 2012. Serum specimens were subjected to ...
متن کاملAvidity of antineurocytoskeletal antibodies in Alzheimer's disease patients.
AIMS To optimise the ELISA method for the avidity of IgG antibodies against neurofilament heavy chain (NfH) and to determine the levels and avidity of anti-NfH antibodies in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and a healthy control group. METHODS Various dilutions of sera and concentrations of urea and sodium chloride as chaotropic reagents were tested in the process of the ELISA optimisat...
متن کاملCoeliac disease with farmers' lung.
Two patients with allergic alveolitis due to mouldy hay antigens (farmer's lung) were shown to have malabsorption due to coeliac disease. As similar associations have been found with other alveolar diseases, this association is probably not fortuitous and further population screening should be done.
