Serum immune globulins in Sjögren's syndrome.
Sj6gren's syndrome, a disease principally affecting exocrine glands but with systemic manifestations, is characterized by hypergammaglobulinaemia and the presence of a wide variety of autoantibodies. These are of several types, both organ and non-organ specific, complement-fixing, and precipitating antibodies, and in general are found in a higher proportion of patients than, for instance, in sy...
متن کاملComparison of immune reactivity and pharmacokinetics of two hepatitis B immune globulins in patients after liver transplantation.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) immune globulin (HBIg) administration will prevent HBV graft reinfection in HBV patients after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). However, the expenditure for such prophylaxis is extremely high ranging between $2,000 to $10,000 per month in various countries for an undefined period and presumably for life. As a consequence, there is a need for introduction of additi...
متن کاملSites of Formation of Immune Globulins and of a Component of C'3
The development of a new method for the determination of the sites of serum protein formation has been described. The method involves the incorporation of C(14)-labeled amino acids by tissues cultured in vitro, and subsequent autoradiography of immunoelectrophoretic patterns prepared from a mixture of culture fluids and carrier serum with an antiserum against the carrier serum. This technique h...
متن کاملEvidence for the presence of anti-Burkitt tumor globulins in pooled human immune globulins.
titers ranged from 1:80 to 1:640. Each of these 20 lots also suppressed growth of EB3 cell cultures. Complement was not required for these reactions. There was good cor relation between the immunofluorescence and growth sup pression titers. Suppression of cellular growth was related to the extent of EB virus infection in 6 human lymphoma and leukemia cell culture lines tested. The globulins re ...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus (HCV) specific immune responses in anti-HCV positive patients without hepatitis C viraemia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Most patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop chronic infection and persistent viraemia. The immune mechanisms responsible for resolution of viraemia remain poorly understood. HCV specific humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with and without viraemia were investigated. METHODS In vitro T helper (TH) lymphocyte responses to structural and non-structu...
