it has been also reported that that h. pylori infection may be responsible for some endocrine disorders, such as autoimmune thyroid diseases, diabetes mellitus and primary hyperparathyroidism. h. pylori which express cytotoxin-associated gene a (caga) may be more virulent than those that do not. the aim was to evaluate the seroprevalence of anti-h. pylori igg and anti-caga  antibodies in patien...

S ALINE AGGLUTINATION REACTIONS of variable strength among Rh positive bloods were reported soon after the discovery of the Rh factor.”2 Wieners suggested that these D variant types were determined by special “intermediate” Rh genes and Stratton2 postulated that this weak D antigen was elaborated by a new allele, D’, at the D-d locus. The only blood types which could he classified as DL variant...

A 67-year-old female developed excessive bleeding and thrombocytopenia following cardiovascular surgery. Her blood type was group A, D-. The only platelet products available in the transfusion service were random donor platelet concentrates from D+ donors. She was transfused with a pool of 6 D+ random donor platelet concentrates. Anti-D undetected in her pretransfusion serum by solid-phase anti...

Abstract Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains main cause fetal anemia primarily due to RH-D maternal incompatibility but also other rarer antigens. Anti-Kell mediated immunization is a rare involving about 0.1% pregnant women causing more severe HDFN compared both for its mechanism because lack preventive immunoglobulin therapy. Although standard treatment intrauterine tran...

We report here an enzyme-amplified, sandwich-type immunosensor for detecting the biospecific interaction between an antibody and antigen using redox mediation. We employed biotin/anti-biotin IgG as a model immunosensing pair. Partially ferrocenyl-tethered dendrimer (Fc-D), whose ferrocene moiety acts as a redox mediator, was immobilized to the electrode surface by covalent binding between the d...

conclusions vaccine based on the conjugation of p. aeruginosa pao-1 lps with dt increased anti-lps antibodies and had a significant potential to protect against pseudomonas infections. background treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa pao-1 infections through immunological means has been proved to be efficient and protective. objectives the purpose of this study was to produce a conjugate vaccine ...

The implementation of a program on routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis (RAADP) in the developed world has led to a significant decline in the residual numbers of Rhesus negative women becoming sensitized. However, a significant number of Rhesus D negative women in SSA are not fortunate because of lack of access to prophylactic immunoglobulin D and thus they continue to be affected. The managem...
