Milk immunoglobulins and complement factors.
The importance of colostrum for the growth and health of newborn offspring is well known. In bovine colostrum, the antibody (immunoglobulin) complement system provides a major antimicrobial effect against a wide range of microbes and confers passive immunity until the calf's own immune system has matured. Bovine serum and lacteal secretions contain three major classes of immunoglobulins: IgG, I...
متن کاملPerspectives on Immunoglobulins in Colostrum and Milk
Immunoglobulins form an important component of the immunological activity found in milk and colostrum. They are central to the immunological link that occurs when the mother transfers passive immunity to the offspring. The mechanism of transfer varies among mammalian species. Cattle provide a readily available immune rich colostrum and milk in large quantities, making those secretions important...
متن کاملInfluence of splenectomy on immunoglobulins and complement components in major thalassemia
Abstract Introduction: Thalassemia is the most common hereditary anemia in Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the humoral immune system and assess the effect of splenectomy on the serum level of immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, and IgA and complement components in patients with major thalassemia. Materials and Methods: This interventional semi-experimental study (before-after) was performed...
متن کاملImmunofluorescence of immunoglobulins and complement in kidneys taken at necropsy.
The immunofluorescence of immunoglobulins and complement components in kidney specimens taken at necropsy was investigated to determine the persistence of antigenicity of immune reactants. Of 74 consecutive necropsies, 12 cases had positive glomerular fluorescence. The pattern and intensity were followed up for up to 15 days. Along with necropsy specimens, tissue samples of normal looking kidne...
متن کاملImmunoglobulins and complement in pleural effusions associated with bronchogenic carcinoma.
Levels of IgG, IgA, IgM, the total haemolytic complement (CH50), and the individual components C1q, C3, C4, C6, and C7 were measured in 29 pleural effusions. Of these, 18 were associated with carcinoma of the bronchus and 11 were non-malignant effusions including empyemas. The level of IgG was significantly lower in the malignant group when compared with non-malignant effusions. The usefulness ...
