The comparative immunosuppressive effects of heterologous antisera to various C3H mouse tissues.

مقایسه آنتی‌ژن‌های خام فاسیولا هپاتیکا و فاسیولا ژیگانتیکا به‌وسیله آزمایش الیزا

Background: Fasciolosis is a worldwide disease with major economic and public health consequences. Early detection of the infection is important for the prevention and control of the disease. ELISA allows for early detection of fasciolosis in man and animals. Fasciolosis is caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica in man and domestic animals respectively. These two species have many similar...

Lymphocyte antigens in systemic lupus erythematosus: studies with heterologous antisera.

Rabbit antisera were produced against pooled living lymphocytes from 25 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Lymphocytes collected at plasmapheresis or venipuncture were frozen in liquid nitrogen and later coated with rabbit antibody to normal human tonsils and normal thymocytes immediately before intravenous immunization of rabbits. Antisera were subsequently extensively ab...

Effect of passive immunization on immunogenicity and protective efficacy of vaccination against a Mexican low‐pathogenic avian H5N2 influenza virus

BACKGROUND Despite the use of vaccines, low-pathogenic (LP) H5N2 influenza viruses have continued to circulate and evolve in chickens in Mexico since 1993, giving rise to multiple genetic variants. Antigenic drift is partially responsible for the failure to control H5N2 influenza by vaccination; the contribution of maternal antibodies to this problem has received less attention. METHODS We in...

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Vitellogenin (vtg) was isolated from greenback flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina), rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) plasma. The molecular weight of each native molecule, as determined by gel filtration, was 540, 383 and 557 kD respectively. With SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, rainbow trout vtg dissociated into 1 major subunit (~154 kD), and Atlantic salmo...
