Different Immune Responses in Dangerous O Blood Donors

Background & Objective: Dangerous O is very important to transfusion medicine and there has been reports by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding some death relating incidences. As high iso-antibody production is closely associated with different immune reactions, a survey on the different immune response of dangerous O donors can lead to understanding their immune respo...

a central role for t cells and their cytokines in the pathogenesis of psoriasis has been proposed; however, there are controversies over the details of this issue. the goal of this study is to summarise currently available data on the importance of t cells in psoriasis pathogenesis. a  systematic  review  of  the  english  medical  literature  was  conducted  by  searching pubmed, embase, isi w...

Bartonella Endocarditis and Pauci-Immune Glomerulonephritis

Among culture-negative endocarditis in the United States, Bartonella species are the most common cause, with Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana comprising the majority of cases. Kidney manifestations, particularly glomerulonephritis, are common sequelae of infectious endocarditis, with nearly half of allBartonella patients demonstrating renal involvement. Although a pauci-immune patter...

Immune Responses in Vitro

The effects of hyperimmune anti-sheep erythrocyte (SRBC) antibody on the plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to SRBC by mouse spleen cells in vitro were studied. Anti-SRBC antibody specifically suppressed the PFC response against SRBC. The degree of suppression was directly related to the amount of antibody added and was overcome by large amounts of antigen. Suppressive activity was absorbed fro...
