Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies and DNA in Iranian HIV Patients
Background & Objective: Toxoplasma gondii infection has public health importance and can lead to serious diseases in immunosuppressed patients, such as HIV cases. Appropriate control of T. gondii infection in HIV patients requires information about the prevalence of T. gondii antibodies and DNA in different population. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of Toxo...
متن کاملHuman anti-phosphorylcholine antibodies share idiotopes and are self-binding.
We have previously shown that BALB/c antipneumococcal polysaccharide antibodies with phosphorylcholine (PC) specificity are self-binding, mediated by hypervariable sequence structure of the heavy chain. We extended the observation of self-binding anti-PC antibodies to naturally occurring human anti-PC antibodies. Anti-PC antibodies were purified from normal donor sera and shown to bind to monoc...
متن کاملCase Reports: Ischemic Strokes in a Young Woman With Manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis
Background: The current case report aimed at describing the clinical, radiological, and immunological findings of a case of ischemic stroke due to acute thrombosis of the left internal carotid artery and multiple watershed infarctions mimicking Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 24-year-old right-handed Iranian female was initially diagnosed with Multiple Sclero...
متن کاملUse of monoclonal antibodies to identify shared idiotypes on human antibodies to native DNA from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Antinative DNA antibodies were purified from the serum of a patient with active systemic lupus erythematosus. Using hybridoma technology, we produced several mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against idiotypic determinants on these antinative DNA antibodies. One of these monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies, 3I, an IgG2a Kappa, was extensively characterized. 3I is believed to be directed aga...
متن کاملConstruction of a Eukaryotic Plasmid Encoding Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen, a Candidate for DNA Vaccine
Background: DNA immunization with plasmid DNA encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. Objective: To evaluate the use of a DNA immunization strategy for protection against anthrax, a plasmid was constructed. Methods: The partialsequence of protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis, amino acids 175-764, as a potent immunogenic targe...
