Detection of immunoglobulin G antibodies to cholesterol in antisera to mycoplasmas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antisera were produced by inoculation of mycoplasma cells grown in PPLO broth supplemented with rabbit serum alone or rabbit serum plus Freund complete or incomplete adjuvant. By using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunoglobulin G antibodies to cholesterol were detected in antisera to mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma salivarium ATCC 23064, M. orale ATCC 15539, M. buccale IID 802, M. faucium IID 996, and M. hominis IID 801) and rabbit serum.

Complement-mediated killing of Acholeplasma laidlawii by antibodies to various membrane components.
Mycoplasmas are useful models for biochemical studies of the mechanism of complement-mediated killing by antibodies to various membrane components. The purpose of this study was to determine the membrane antigens involved in immune killing of Acholeplasma laidlawii. Antibodies to A. laidlawii membrane total lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids could be induced in rabbits after injection of re...
متن کاملSerum immunoglobulin E and immunoglobulin G reactivity to Agaricus bisporus proteins in mushroom cultivation workers
Background and Purpose: Although molds are regarded as the main fungal allergen sources, evidence indicates that spores of Basidiomycota including Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) can be also found at high concentrations in the environment and may cause as many respiratory allergies as molds. The aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ...

Background: Sjögren’s syndrome is the second most common systemic autoimmune disease after rheumatoid arthritis, RA, with a prevalence of about 0.5% in the general population. It occurs primarily in perimenopausal women (at a ratio of women to men of 9: 1) Sjögren’s syndrome is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration to exocrine glands. The specific autoantibodies of this syndrome are against...
متن کاملAdvantages of Placenta as a Source for Mass Production of HLA-Antisera
Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) of fetus are responsible for induction of HLA antibodies in mother. Exposure to the mismatched paternal HLA antigens in the fetus gives rise to a polyclonal antibody response against paternal HLA antigens. HLA antibodies are present in the maternal circulation of the placenta and are absorbed onto the placenta [1]. The major source of HLA antisera is from sera of ...
