humoral immunity to human neoplasms
using complement fixation technique, serial serum samples from 15 patients undergoing surgical removal of malignant tumors were assayed for the presence of tumors antibodies against the cellular fractions of both normal and carcinomatous tissue. antibody responses against tumor associated antigens were detected in four cases. in all cases antibody activity was directed only against the supernat...
متن کاملAntibiotic treatment suppresses rotavirus infection and enhances specific humoral immunity.
BACKGROUND Rotavirus causes 500 000 deaths and millions of physician visits and hospitalizations per year, with worse outcomes and reduced vaccine efficacy in developing countries. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota might modulate rotavirus infection and/or antibody response and thus potentially play a role in such regional differences. METHODS The microbiota was ablated via germ-free or...
متن کاملAlum adjuvant boosts adaptive immunity by inducing uric acid and activating inflammatory dendritic cells
Alum (aluminum hydroxide) is the most widely used adjuvant in human vaccines, but the mechanism of its adjuvanticity remains unknown. In vitro studies showed no stimulatory effects on dendritic cells (DCs). In the absence of adjuvant, Ag was taken up by lymph node (LN)-resident DCs that acquired soluble Ag via afferent lymphatics, whereas after injection of alum, Ag was taken up, processed, and...
متن کاملModulation of Adjuvant Arthritis by Cellular and Humoral Immunity to Hsp65
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved, and their expression is upregulated in cells by heat and other stressful stimuli. These proteins play a vital role in preserving the structural and functional integrity of cells under stress. Despite the ubiquitous expression of Hsps in an individual, the immune system is not fully tolerant to them. In fact, Hsps are highly immunogenic in nature,...
متن کاملAlum induces innate immune responses through macrophage and mast cell sensors, but these sensors are not required for alum to act as an adjuvant for specific immunity.
To understand more about how the body recognizes alum we characterized the early innate and adaptive responses in mice injected with the adjuvant. Within hours of exposure, alum induces a type 2 innate response characterized by an influx of eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils, DCs, NK cells and NKT cells. In addition, at least 13 cytokines and chemokines are produced within 4 h of injection inc...
