Anticardiolipin Antibodies and Immunoglobulin M and A in Graves’ Disease
Background: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of antibodies directed to TSH receptor or nearby regions as well as antibodies to double strands DNA (dsDNA) anticardiolipin and nuclear antibodies. This study evaluated anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor, such as IgA and IgM antibodies in patients with Graves’ disease. Patients and methods: Anticardiolipin a...
متن کاملPREPARATION OF ENRICHED IMMUNOGLOBULIN M AND IMMUNOGLOBULIN A FROM HUMAN PLASMA
As IgM and IgA-enriched preparations are needed to complete the immunotherapeutic spectrum, a simple procedure is described for the preparation of IgM and IgA enriched immunoglobulins. Fraction III which was prepared by cold ethanol fractionation was treated by octanoic acid followed by ethanol precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography using Sephadex DEAE A-50 and 0.1 M tris-D.35M NaCI ...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii.
A new principle that uses anti-immunoglobulin M-coated polystyrene microtiter plates for the detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed.
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin M antibodies specific for Toxoplasma gondii with increased selectivity for recently acquired infections.
Toxoplasma gondii infections can cause serious complications in pregnant women, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, and birth defects. Definitive diagnosis of T. gondii acute infection is therefore critical for the clinical management of a mother and her fetus. Positive immunoglobulin M (IgM) results are not sufficient as evidence of recent infection, as these antibodies are often present for m...
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin G antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii: Evaluation of two commercial immunoassay systems.
BACKGROUND Toxoplasmosis is a disease, which can cause severe congenital infection and is normally diagnosed by the detection of Toxoplasma gondii (T gondii)-specific antibodies in the serum of infected patients. Several different tests allow to distinguish recent from past infections and to quantify anti-T gondii-specific IgG, and the results can be used as markers for a chronic or recently se...
