Neutralisation of immunologically distinct staphylococcal delta haemolysins by antibodies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibodies against delta-haemolysin from Staphylococcus strain CN4108 (Newman) did not neutralise delta-haemolysin from the canine strain of S. aureus CN7450 to the same extent as delta-haemolysin prepared from S. aureus strain CN4108. This is additional evidence for the immunological distinctness of delta-haemolysin from these two S. aureus strains of human and canine origin.

Immunological relationship between delta-hemolysins of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative strains of staphylococci.
Delta-hemolysin of coagulase-negative staphylococcal strains was immunologically identical to delta-hemolysin of Staphylococcus aureus (Newman) but distinct from delta-hemolysin from a canine strain of S. aureus.
متن کاملVirus Neutralisation: New Insights from Kinetic Neutralisation Curves
Antibodies binding to the surface of virions can lead to virus neutralisation. Different theories have been proposed to determine the number of antibodies that must bind to a virion for neutralisation. Early models are based on chemical binding kinetics. Applying these models lead to very low estimates of the number of antibodies needed for neutralisation. In contrast, according to the more con...
متن کاملPrevalence and Haemolytic Significance of Red Cell Antibodies among Dangerous Universal Donors in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India
Background and Aims: A subgroup of group O individuals called ‘dangerous universal donors’ have immune (IgG) anti A and anti B antibodies which are active at 37˚C and capable of reacting with the red cells and causing lysis. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of dangerous O group among the voluntary donor population and to assess the relation between the degree of haemolysis and t...
متن کاملA child with atopic features, raised serum IgE, and recurrent infection treated with levamisole.
A 6-year-old girl had a long history of severe eczema, asthma, recurrent otitis media, and staphylococcal infections with disseminated chronic skin abscesses. Immunological studies showed a neutrophil chemotaxis defect, hyperimmunoglobulinaemia E, IgE antibodies against cows' milk proteins, absence of IgM, and absence of staphylococcal haemolysins. Neutrophil phagocytic and bactericidal functio...
متن کاملAuto-antibodies in acquired haemolytic anaemia.
It is now widely recognized that cases of haemolytic anaemia of spontaneous or endogenous origin may be divided into two broad groups: those determined by a genetical cause resulting in the production of defective red cells, and those not so determined. Among the latter group of acquired haemolytic anaemias are cases in which there is evidence for the presence of antibodies active against the p...
