Immunological Study of Typhoid: Immunoglobulins, C 3 , Antibodies, and Leukocyte Migration Inhibition in Patients with Typhoid Fever and TAB-Vaccinated Individuals

Immunological study of typhoid: immunoglobulins, C3, antibodies, and leukocyte migration inhibition in patients with typhoid fever and TAB-vaccinated individuals.

The development of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to Salmonella typhi antigens and immunoglobulin and C(3) levels were determined in patients suffering from typhoid fever, TAB-vaccinated individuals, and appropriate controls. In 45 patients with typhoid, a significant elevation of immunoglobulin M (IgM) level was noted from the first week of illness onwards. Eighteen TAB-vaccinated ...
