Serum IgM and IgA responses in influenza A infections.

نویسنده

چکیده

Immunofluorescent serum IgM and/or a significant level of IgA antibody was detected in 87% of 39 cases of current or recent influenza A infection from two to 84 days after the onset of illness. Secondary IgM staining occurred in 5% of sera and a significant correlation was found between complement-fixing and class-specific antibodies. It was estimated that the immunofluorescent test could be diagnostic in 64% of single sera with levels of CF antibody between 32 and 256, and because anti-s antibody was detected in the IgM test this test did not differentiate primary and secondary influenza A infection.

The Behcet disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Evidences suggest that at least some of the clinical aspect of the BD may be due to autoimmune responses, these includes elevated levels of immunoglobulins (Igs) and immune complexes. To clarify the molecular basis of the changes in the level of different classes of Igs in BD, we have detected the amount of IgG, IgM...
