Immunoglobulin E anti-Staphylococcus aureus antibodies in atopic patients.
Sera from 56 patient and normal adults were examined to quantitate total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgE antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Patients were divided into six groups based on clinical symptoms; a seventh group consisted of normal adults. Anti-S, aureus IgE binding was significantly higher in three groups of patients (those with eczema, those with or w...
متن کاملAnti-Immunoglobulin E Therapy
The importance of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in atopic disorders such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and atopic dermatitis is well established. Elevation of total serum IgE is typically found in many atopic patients, and in predisposed individuals, allergen-specific IgE is produced. The availability of humanized monoclonal antibodies against IgE has provided a new therapeutic option ...
متن کاملCandida-specific antibodies during experimental vaginal candidiasis in mice.
Protective host defense mechanisms against vaginal Candida albicans infections are poorly understood. Although cell-mediated immunity (CMI) is the predominant host defense mechanism against most mucosal Candida infections, the role of CMI against vaginal candidiasis is uncertain, both in humans and in an experimental mouse model. The role of humoral immunity is equally unclear. While clinical o...
متن کاملCandida and Candidiasis
Yeast of the genus Candida have exploded into prominence in recent years as opportunistic and nosocomial fungal pathogens. However, the most recent textbook on these organisms was written in 1988. Candida and Candidiasis is a worthy successor in providing comprehensive information on the biology of these organisms. A total of 28 chapters cover the general properties, virulence factors, cell bio...
متن کاملCirculating (1-3) Glucan and Immunoglobulin G Subclass Antibodies to Candida albicans Cell Wall Antigens in Patients with Systemic Candidiasis
Invasive candidiasis in patients who are immunocompromised or in intensive care units (ICUs) presents both diagnostic and therapeutic problems. We previously described antibodies that were directed against Candida albicans cell wall fragments (CW), periodate-treated CW (CWIO4), phosphopeptidomannan (PPM), and (1-3) glucan. In this study, circulating fungal antigens [mannan and (1-3) glucan] and...
