نویسنده
چکیده
Superantigens are bacterial, viral, retroviral and some naturally occurring proteins that can specifically activate a large proportion of T and/or B cells. In contrast to classical peptide antigen recognition, superantigens do not require processing to small peptides. T-cell superantigens interact with the immune system by binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II proteins outside the classical antigen binding groove and activate T cells through the variable region of the T cell receptor beta-chain. B-cell superantigens target B cells, which have restricted usage of variable heavy and light chain and by binding to immunoglobulins outside the conventional antigen binding site, stimulate a high frequency of B cells. Studies of T-cell and Bcell superantigens are important since they are involved in many human diseases and represent a great tool in unravelling some of the basic mechanisms of immune response.

Serological techniques are recommended procedures for the identification of Mycoplasma species. They enable separation of mycoplasmas at the species level and are widely used for practical laboratory identification of the isolated microorganisms. However, complex growth media are required for the isolation of Mycoplasma species and some strains of pathogenic Mycoplasma species grow very fastidi...

Distance measurement results are hampered by systematic and accidental errors. The influence of systematic errors is reduced or eliminated mostly through the entering of appropriate corrections or through the use of a particular measurement method. A large number of different sources of corrections may be divided into three groups, namely into meteorological, geometric and projection correction...
