Viral antibody studies in pancreatic disease.

Viral antibody studies in pancreatic disease.

Viral studies were performed on sera from 54 patients with recent acute pancreatitis, 10 with recurrent acute pancreatitis, seven with chronic pancreatitis, and 10 with pancreatic carcinoma, and on sera from 81 age- and sex-matched controls. In 29 of the acute pancreatitis patients from whom paired sera were obtained no convincing evidence of recent viral infection was found. A higher incidence...

Studies on Avian Viral Infections in Iran

Intranasal antibody prophylaxis for protection against viral disease.

For more than a century, antibody has been used for passive parenteral immunization against viral and bacterial pathogens. This approach has been successful for prevention of viral respiratory infection and has led to testing of intranasal or aerosol delivery of antibody to passively immunize the respiratory tract mucosal surface. Mucosal delivery may be advantageous because it allows the antib...

Antibody in Experimental Pancreatic Cancer

Objectives: Radioimmunotherapy studies using IPAM4 have demonstrated significant antitumor effects in mice bearing human pancreatic cancer xenografts. For several reasons Y has been proposed as a more effective radionuclide for radioimmunotherapy of pancreatic cancer. The present study examined whether one radionuclide was more efficacious than the other in tumor-bearing mice. Methods: Athymic ...

An antigen in Hodgkin's disease tissue cultures: fluorescent antibody studies.

Rabbits were immunized with an antigen of specific gravity, 1.15-1.21 isolated by density gradient sedimentation of the centrifuged medium of long-term monolayer cultures derived from spleens involved by Hodgkin's disease. The globulin fraction of the antiserum was absorbed to reduce reactivity with normal cellular antigens and tissue culture components, and was tested by the indirect fluoresce...
