Background: Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is one of the most common chronic child-hood diseases. In spite of the global decrease in dental caries in the past decades, ECC has become a significant problem in many developing countries and also in a few indus-trialized nations.

Semen that is defined as a complex fluid containing sperm, cellular vesicles and other cells and components, could sensitize the female genital tract. The immune rejection of male semen in the female reproductive tract is explained as the failur...

BACKGROUND Allergic, especially anaphylactic, reactions during immunoglobulin replacement therapy are rare, but their pathophysiology and classification remain ambiguous. Recent findings show positive results of skin tests with commercially available immunoglobulins, but target antigens and responsible compounds of the tested immunoglobulins have not been strictly identified. CASE DESCRIPTION...

Cytostatic therapy of patients with lung cancer is attended with decrease in the relative number of T-lymphocytes and their theophylline-resistant population. Patients who were given SB showed a tendency towards increase of these parameters during antitumor chemotherapy. The immunoregulation index (IRI) in this case was approximately twice the background values during the whole period of invest...

In six normal subjects, no surface immunoglobulins were detected on blood lymphocytes containing bundle-shaped tubular (BST) inclusions, after incubation with anti-human IgM peroxidase-labeled Fab'2 fragments. These Fab'2 fragments from pepsin-digested sheep anti-human immunoglobulins revealed human mu kappa, and lambda chains. These results suggest that the BST inclusions do not belong to B ly...
