Article history: Received 27 June 2016 Accepted 27 June 2016 Available online 28 June 2016 emic subjects reported that high levels of total IgG was associated with a higher incidence of CHD (Kovanen et al., 1998). It is of course possible that total Ig is a marker higher risk in subjects with dyslipidemia and a marker of lower risk in subjects with hypertension but it is difficult to see a pathophysiological rational for this. Hence, more studies are needed before the clinical value of total Ig measurements in car-

Interpretation of Serologic Test Results and Evaluation of Humoral Immune Response After Vaccination Following Infection with COVID-19 Disease
SARS-CoV-2 virus infection induces a cellular and humoral mediated immune response and produces antibodies against viral antigens such as nucleocapsid (N) protein and spike (S) protein. Anti-protein S antibodies also target the spike protein subunit S1 and the receptor binding domain (RBD). Serologic tests can detect the presence of these antibodies in blood serum within a few days to a few wee...
متن کاملAssessment of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection by measuring antibody titer, yes or no!
Dear Editor The current epidemic of the novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) risen from Wuhan, China, turned into a worldwide concern because of its incubation period (2-14 days) and its high transmission rate. The first cases of the infection were reported in December 2019 in Wuhan with symptoms like pneumonia for an unknown reason. Very soon it was known as a novel kind of Coronavirus o...

Background: Inflammation and infectious agents such as Chlamydia pneumoniae have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Objective: To evaluate the serum high sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) and antibodies against Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydial heat shock protein-60 (Cp-HSP60) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: 62 patients with IHD having either acute my...
متن کاملGluten - Not a Friendly Protein
Introduction: Gluten is a protein found in grains. Research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals. While gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. Is it healthful? The protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful. An estimated 95% of prepared fo...
متن کاملAntibody Based Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure
The function of the immune system is to protect the host against disease. Antibodies are a key part of the adaptive response, recognising specific antigens and invading pathogens and marking them for destruction or blocking their activities. A mechanistic and molecular understanding of this process has allowed researchers to harness their natural function. They are now routinely used as a diagn...
