MHC IIB Genetic Diversity and its Association With Humoral Immune Responses in Commercial Turkey
Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the best characterized genetic regions controlling immune responses against vaccines. Identifying the association between MHC haplotypes and improved immune responses would be useful in genetic breeding strategies in animals. OBJECTIVES: MHC class II B genetic diversity and its association with humoral immune responses against Newcast...
متن کاملLeprosy reactions: humoral and cellular immune responses to M. leprae, 65kDa, 28kDa, and 18 kDa antigens.
This study examines the immune responses against some stress proteins of Mycobacterium leprae in leprosy patients with and without leprosy reactions. Leprosy patients showed a higher level of antibodies to all antigens compared to healthy controls. The antibody response to 18kDa antigen was significantly higher in patients with Type 1 reaction compared to those of TT or borderline patients with...
متن کاملHumoral immune responses in a human case of glanders.
Within 2 months of acquiring glanders, a patient developed 8-, 16-, and 4-fold increases, respectively, in specific IgA, IgG, and IgM serological titers against Burkholderia mallei. Within 14 months of infection, the titers decreased to the baseline. Serum from this patient was also highly reactive against Burkholderia pseudomallei whole cells. Burkholderia mallei whole cells did not react with...
متن کاملDuration and specificity of humoral immune responses in mice vaccinated with the Alzheimer's disease-associated beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by overproduction of beta-amyloid (Abeta), which is formed from amyloid precursor protein (APP), with the subsequent pathologic deposition of Abeta in regions of the brain important for memory and cognition. Recently, vaccination of murine models of AD that exhibit Abeta deposition has halted or delayed the usual progression...
متن کاملHumoral immune responses to VP4 and its cleavage products VP5* and VP8* in infants vaccinated with rhesus rotavirus.
The humoral immune response to rhesus rotavirus (RRV) VP4 and its cleavage products VP5* and VP8* was determined in paired serum samples from 44 infants vaccinated with RRV or human rotavirus-RRV reassortants and 5 placebo recipients. Our aim was to try to measure the response to those regions of VP4 most closely related to protection. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to me...
