Downregulation of IL-12 Production in Healthy Non-Responder Neonates to Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine
A proportion of healthy neonates and adults fail to develop a protective antibody response to recombinant hepatitis B (HB) vaccine. Unresponsiveness to vaccination could be attributed to defect in a number of immunological regulatory mechanisms. In this study, IL-12 was quantitated in culture supernatant following in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from a group ...
متن کاملDistribution of Circulating Immune Cells in Responder and Non-Responder Individuals to Hepatitis B Vaccine
Unresponsiveness to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been shown to be associated with dysfunction of the presenting cells (APC) and defect in the specific B-lymphocyte and/or T-lymphocyte repertoires. Direct determination of the frequency of specific T-lymphocytes together with complementary analysis of the naive circulating immune cells could provide valuable information about the cel...
متن کاملBaseline MxA mRNA Expression Predicts Interferon Beta Response in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
BACKGROUND Myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) is a molecule induced after interferon-beta injection, mostly used to evaluate its bioactivity. There is little available data on clinical utility of baseline MxA mRNA status. The objective of the study is to investigate whether baseline MxA mRNA expression can predict relapse and disease progression in multiple sclerosis patients treated with int...
متن کاملایمنیزایی واکسن هپاتیت B در دانشجویان علوم پزشکی مازندران
Background and purpose: Vaccination is the most effeetive method of prophylaxy in high risk group of hepatitis B. Some individuals faile to respond to triple doses of vaccine which is potentially dangerous. Therefore, immunogenecity of triple doses recombinant hepatitis B vaccine was evaluated in a high risk group (medical sciences students). Materials and Methods: 193 healthy medical scie...
متن کاملInterferon inhibitory activity in patients with multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Interferon inhibitory activity (IIA) is a logical candidate for explaining neutralizing antibody-negative partial responsiveness to interferon beta in multiple sclerosis (MS), but its role has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of IIA and soluble interferon-alpha/beta receptor (sIFNR) in determining response of patients with MS to interferon beta therapy. DESIG...
