Cationic Immune Stimulating Complexes Containing Soluble Leishmania Antigens: Preparation, Characterization and in Vivo Immune Response Evaluation

Background: Cationic immune stimulating complexes (PLUSCOMs) are particulate antigen delivery systems. PLUSCOMs consist of cationic immunostimulatory complexes (ISCOMs) derivatives and are able to elicit in vivo T cell responses against an antigen. Objective: To evaluate the effects of PLUSCOMs containing Leishmaniamajor antigens (SLA) on the type of immune response generated in the murine mod...

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMORAL IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST MUSTARD GAS

One of the promising aspects of the immunological research on chemical war gas is to investigate the immunogenicity of some hazardous compounds such as mustard gas. Mustard gas is categorized as a "hapten" based on its physical and chemical properties. Haptenic chemicals which do not possess immunogenicity could be immunogenic experimentally when conjugated with a suitable protein carrier...

Neurocysticercosis, immune status and immune response.

1. Schmidt FR, Costa FHR, Silva FMLC, et al. Paroxysmal dystonia and neuromyelitis optica. Arq Neuopsquiatr 2012;70:271-272. References levodopa, hydantoin, baclofen, valproate, gabapentin, and neuroleptics were prescribed to her, all of them in progressively increasing doses. These drugs were used singly and in association, all to no or minimal avail. Her neurological examination showed muscle...

Imaging the immune response

JCB • VOLUME 179 • NUMBER 3 • 2007 362 Imaging the immune response Y ou can learn a lot from a picture. Case in point, a new report from Kamal Khanna, Jeffrey McNamara, and Leo Lefrançois (University of Connecticut, Farmington, CT) images T cells as they prepare to fi ght infection. To examine the cell dynamics of an immune response, the researchers used laser scanning microscopy to take 3D sna...
