An ELISA to detect antipseudomonal IgA antibodies in sera of patients with cystic fibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure free serum IgA antibodies to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis is described. Results were reproducible and there was no interference from crossreacting antibodies directed against other Gram negative bacteria. Titres were high in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and differed according to the stage of the infection. These preliminary results suggest that this assay may be of value in assessing the state of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Association between Anti-IgA Antibody and Development of Adverse Reactions in Immunodeficient Patients Under Immunoglobulin Therapy
Background: Mild to severe post-transfusion adverse reactions have been reported in a proportion of immunodeficient patients receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). Anti-IgA antibody has been proposed to be associated with development of such reactions. Objective: To assess the association between anti-IgA levels of different isotypes and adverse reactions induced in immunodeficient patien...

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common disease, which several etiologic factors have been considered for it. The infectious agents and immunological factors are the most suspected causes. Recently a few studies with varied results have been done to clarify the role of Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori) in etiology of RAS. Objective: To find correlations between serum IgG and Ig...
متن کاملDevelopment of an ELISA Based Method for the Detection of Pemphigus vulgaris Autoantibodies
For the evaluation of autoantibodies in Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), an indirect ELISA assay was developed by using a semi-purified human epidermal skin extracted with approximately a molecular weight (M.W.) of 130-160 kDa. The evaluation of Pemphigus IgG, IgM and IgA autoantibodies in 75 patients and 50 control sera indicated that this indirect ELISA assay was a useful method for the detection of ...

An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure free serum IgG antibodies to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis was developed. Seven strains of P aeruginosa cells, treated with glutaraldehyde and representing the most commonly isolated serotypes in our cystic fibrosis unit, were used. The specificity of the test was confirmed by the absence of cross reacting antibod...

Background: Vitiligo is a dermatological disorder of unknown etiology with a common incidence in southern Iran. Presence of autoantibodies to melanocyte antigens suggested an autoimmune basis of the disease. Objective: In this study, the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) in sera and skin biopsies of vitiligo patients was investigated. Methods: The presence of RF in sera of 35 vitiligo and 32 n...
