Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...

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...

laboratory diagnosis of acute measles is usually achieved by serology assays for measle-specific igm antibody. for comparison of measle-specific igm antibody in saliva and serum, 95 paired blood and saliva samples were collected 1-14 days after the onset of rash. the specimens were tested for specific igm antibody by an igm antibody-capture enzyme immunoassay (eia). measles igm antibody was det...

after using 3 different generations of antibodies including human and non-human hyperimmune sera, monoclonal antibodies and chimeric antibodies, more recently a newer approach has been developed in which the antibody genes are cloned directly from a patient peripheral b-lymphocytes and expressed in a host like e. coli. in this study the candida albicans serotype a (nctc 3153) mannan was purifie...

conclusions the present study showed that g-csf is not superior to placebo in production of protective antibody titers after hbv vaccination but could result in a more rapid antibody response, compared to the placebo. results there was no statistically significant difference between anti-hbv antibody titers in patients receiving double dose hbv vaccination plus g-csf and patients receiving doub...

we present the first reported case of antiphospholipid syndrome with stroke in an iranian boy (7-month-old) who had two ischemic strokes within a period of 2 months. serum anticardiolipid antibody was positive and the patient had low levels of protein s and c. this case emphasizes the importance of antiphospholipid antibody in children with unexplained ischemic stroke.
