The Antibody Response in Man Following Infection With Viruses of the pox Group: II. Antibody Response Following Vaccination

Antibody Response of Human Beings following Vaccination with Influenza Viruses

Eleven different preparations of influenza virus were used to vaccinate large groups of human beings. The antibody response to these vaccines was measured by means of the in vitro agglutination inhibition test, and the geometric mean titers of sera taken 2 weeks after vaccination were compared. From these comparisons the following conclusions were drawn: 1. There was a wide individual variation...

Neutralizing Antibody Response in Cattle Following Vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Antibody response following smallpox vaccination and revaccination.

The measurement of antibody following vaccination has been recorded in many publications. The inhibition of vaccinia haemagglutinin, because of its technical simplicity, is a method which has been commonly employed in recent years, although the complement-fixation and neutralization techniques have also been used. Some kind of neutralization test is believed to give a better measure of protecti...

Antigen-Specific Antibody Response in Juvenile-Onset SLE Patients Following Routine Immunization with Tetanus Toxoid

Background: Infection is now the most common cause of morbidity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). There is lack of information regarding the specific antibody forma-tion in response to vaccines in young SLE patients. Objective: To determine the efficacy of anti-tetanus antibody response in young patients with SLE. Methods: Forty SLE pa-tients with mean age of 14.1 years (range: 7-21) and 6...

Antibody response in man to influenza virus neuraminidase following influenza.

Genetic recombination of influenza viruses of different subtype may result in segregation of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase in antigenically hybrid viruses [E. D. Kilbourne et al., in M. Pollard (ed.), Perspectives in Virology, vol. 5, p. 87, Academic Press, Inc., N.Y., 1967; and W. G. Laver and E. D. Kilbourne, Virology 30:493, 1966]. The selective use of such antigenic hybrids in serological...
