one of the most common outcomes of pulp inflammation is periapical granuloma formation. existence of immune cells in these lesions showed involvement of both humoral and cellular immunity in the site. the presence of different antigens in the root canal causes production o various antibodies and consequent immunological reactions. different theories have been proposed on periapical cysts. the m...

BACKGROUND Although autoimmune humoral abnormalities have been reported in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), abnormal organ-specific cellular autoimmunity has not been demonstrated. METHODS Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and serum were collected from a uveitis patient with MDS. Cellular immune response against retinal S-antigen (S-Ag) was assessed by proliferation assay, and...

mastitis is a one of the major diseases of dairy animals. staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism associated with this dairy scourge. cure rates of mastitis associated with this pathogen are appallingly low. biofilm is an important virulence factor and immunogenic structure of s. aureus that makes it resistant to phagocytosis and antibiotics. reports on the efficacy of vaccine pr...

Passive immunization with mAbs has been employed in COVID-19. We performed a systematic review of the literature assessing endogenous humoral immune response against SARS-CoV-2 patients treated mAbs. Administration seronegative led to reduction both antibody titres and neutralizing activity virus.

Protein microarrays have been used to explore whether a humoral response to pancreatic cancer-specific tumor antigens has utility as a biomarker of pancreatic cancer. To determine if such arrays can be used to identify novel autoantibodies in the sera from pancreatic cancer patients, proteins from a pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line (MIAPACA) were resolved by 2-D liquid-based separations, and...

Drosophila has highly efficient defenses against infection. These include both cellular immune responses, such as the phagocytosis of invading microorganisms, and humoral immune responses, such as the secretion of antimicrobial peptides into the hemolymph [1] [2]. These defense systems are thought to interact, but the nature and extent of these interactions is not known. Here we describe a meth...

Rabbits were subjected to 800 r total body irradiation to render them immunoincopetent with respect to the humoral immune response. These rabbits were, however, only slightly less capable of rejecting skin allografts than nonirradiated rabbits. Furthermore, the administration of normal or specifically "primed" bone marrow cells (bone marrow obtained from a rabbit injected one to two days previo...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) epitopes elicit a consistent humoral response in serum of multiple sclerosis patients, but the cross reactivity against the homologous myelin basic protein (MBP) and human interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) has not been searched within the Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF). We evaluated in sera and CSF of patients with ...
