Humoral Pattern Recognition and the Complement System

a study on the humoral and complement immune system of patients with organic acidemia

patients with organic acidemia are prone to different infections, which lead to acidosis episodes. some studies have evaluated the status of immune system in acidotic phase in these patients, but to the best of our knowledge no study has evaluated the immune system in non-acidotic phase of the disease. in this study, thirty-one patients with organic acidemia were enrolled. for evaluation of hum...

Humoral immune system in inflammatory bowel disease: I. Complement levels.

Serum levels of complement components Clq, C4, C3, and Properdin factor B, from the classical and alternative pathways of complement activation, have been estimated in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. C3, factor B, and to some extent C4 concentrations all increased when the disease was active. In remission the levels of these components did not differ from hospital control ...

Immune Pattern Recognition System

An Evaluation of Mahalanobis-Taguchi System and Neural Network for Multivariate Pattern Recognition

The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System is a diagnosis and predictive method for analyzing patterns in multivariate cases. The goal of this study is to compare the ability of the Mahalanobis- Taguchi System and a neural-network to discriminate using small data sets. We examine the discriminant ability as a function of data set size using an application area where reliable data is publicly available. The...
