Measurement of antigen specific immune responses: 2006 update.
Measuring antigen-specific immune responses (MASIR) is essential for basic immunological research and in the clinical setting. Numerous techniques have been used and the recent years have witnessed a flourishing of flow cytometry based methods for the identification of antigen specific T cells, in addition to other methodologies. The second MASIR conference held in Santorini, Greece, from 14 to...
متن کاملPriming Hepatitis B Surface (HBsAg)- and Core Antigen (HBcAg)-Specific Immune Responses by Chimeric, HBcAg with a HBsAg ‘a’ Determinant
We developed an immunogen to stimulate multivalent immunity against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigens (HBcAg). Immune responses specific for both HBsAg and HBcAg play an important role in controlling the infection. HBsAg-specific antibodies mediate elimination of virions at an early stage of infection and prevent the spread of virus. The immunogen was constructed...
متن کاملNew Microarray Detects Antigen-Specific T Cells and Immune Responses
PLoS Biology | http://biology.plosjournals.org Biochemists aren’t much accustomed to seeing their work in the popular press, save for annual coverage of the Nobel prize in chemistry. This year, Roderick MacKinnon was recognized for working out the atomic structure of an ion channel and Peter Agre for discovering that a major protein found in red blood cells functions primarily as a water channe...
متن کاملAntigen-specific immune responses to influenza vaccine in utero.
Initial immune responses to allergens may occur before birth, thereby modulating the subsequent development of atopy. This paradigm remains controversial, however, due to the inability to identify antigen-specific T cells in cord blood. The advent of MHC tetramers has revolutionized the detection of antigen-specific T cells. Tetramer staining of cord blood after CMV infection has demonstrated t...
متن کاملStandard treatments induce antigen-specific immune responses in prostate cancer.
PURPOSE Prostate tumors express antigens that are recognized by the immune system in a significant proportion of patients; however, little is known about the effect of standard treatments on tumor-specific immunity. Radiation therapy induces expression of inflammatory and immune-stimulatory molecules, and neoadjuvant hormone therapy causes prominent T-cell infiltration of prostate tumors. We th...
