Somatic antigens from male and female adults of Setaria cervi: immune reactions in guinea pigs.

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEIN ANTIGENS ISOLATED FROM MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS (H37Rv STRA IN) AND THEIR EFFECTS ON CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSES IN GUINEA PIGS

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv strain) was used in this study. The bacterial cells were disintegrated by sonication. The separation and characterization of the soluble molecules were attempted by various techniques including gel filtration, ion exchange chromatographies and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using SDS and 2ME. Eight protein molecules with molecular weights ranging from...

Antigenic Characterization of Embryo Stage of Setaria Cervi

Filariasis is a serious health hazard affecting millions of people in tropical and subtropical regions of developing countries including India. The specific diagnosis and control measures are essential for effective management of the disease. It has been shown earlier that the excretorysecretory products of filarial parasitescontain diagnostically important embryo antigens; therefore, it would ...

In vitro Lymphoproliferative Responses of Trichostrongylus colubriformis High and Low Responder Guinea Pigs to Worm Antigens (SPL3, SPA) and Ovalbumin

In vitro lymphocyte responses of high responder (HR) and low responder (LR) guinea pigs from pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to parasite antigens soluble protein third stage larvae (SPL3) and soluble protein adult stage ( SPA), non-parasite antigen ovalbumin (OVA) were examined. There was substantial differences between HR and LR guinea pigs in the rate of acquisition of responsiveness to t...
