Assessment of antibody titers and immunity to Hepatitis B in children receiving chemotherapy

Abstract Background There is a decrease in vaccine-specific antibody to certain vaccine-preventable diseases in children after chemotherapy, but the frequency of non-immune patients is not clear. In the present case-control study, was taken under investigation protection level to Hepatitis B infection in children 6 months after completing chemotherapy. Materials and Methods In this study 6...

Detection of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen by immune adherence hemagglutination.

The immune adherence hemagglutination assay was found to be as sensitive and specific as the indirect immunofluorescence technique for titration of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen. Satisfactory virus capsid antigen-specific and negative control antigens for the immune adherence hemagglutination assay were prepared from cell extracts of the Epstein-Barr virus producer P3HR-1 and ...

Antibody to the rheumatoid arthritis nuclear antigen. Its relationship to in vivo Epstein-Barr virus infection.

Most patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, and a variable but lesser percentage of normal subjects, have precipitating antibodies to a nuclear antigen, rheumatoid arthritis nuclear antigen, present in Epstein-Barr virus-infected human B lymphoblastoid cells. We have used a sensitive indirect immunofluorescence assay for antibody to rheumatoid arthritis nuclear antigen in a study of p...

Diagnostic value of Epstein-Barr virus capsid antigen-IgA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Non-invasive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) screening usually involves serological testing for the presence of IgA antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) capsid antigen (VCA). The present meta-analysis determined the accuracy of VCA-IgA in the diagnosis of NPC. METHODS A systematic review of studies was conducted and data on the accuracy of VCA-IgA concentrations in the diagnosis o...

Improved immunofluorescence antigens for detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen and antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen.

Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen and nuclear antigen produced by modified procedures were evaluated for use in measuring viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin M and Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen antibody responses in sera from patients with suspected Epstein-Barr virus infections. Viral capsid antigen production was stimulated with a phorbol ester, and the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen...

Improved accuracy of detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by combined application of circulating Epstein-Barr virus DNA and anti-Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen IgA antibody.

BACKGROUND Circulating Epstein-Barr viral (EBV) DNA and anti-EBV capsid antigen IgA (IgA VCA) represent two of the most sensitive peripheral blood markers of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but direct comparative studies of these two markers are lacking. METHODS The sensitivities and specificities of IgA-VCA and EBV DNA for diagnosis of NPC were determined in 139 new cases of NPC and 178 heal...
