Characterisation of HLA-specific antibodies [PDF]
A successful kidney transplant is the best treatment for established renal failure, yet around 300 patients per annum are denied transplants because they have antibodies, most notably directed against donor HLA or ABO in their blood, which have the ...

A novel EF-hand calcium-binding protein in the flagellum of the protozoan Tritrichomonas suis. [PDF]
The cloning and characterization of Ts-p41, an EF-hand calcium-binding protein of the protozoan parasite Tritrichomonas suis is described. A T. suis cDNA library was screened with monospecific antibodies affinity purified on an immunoreactive 41 kDa ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may elicit neutralizing antibodies targeting epitopes conserved in all viral genotypes [PDF]
Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) cross-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies, directed against conserved epitopes on surface E2 glycoprotein, are central tools for understanding virus-host interplay, and for planning strategies for prevention and ...

Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum merozoite antigens [PDF]
Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed.; We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled them in different ways using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and ...

The development and applications of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies for the detection of illicit drugs in saliva samples [PDF]
Anti-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), anti-cocaine and anti-morphine polyclonal antibodies were produced. These antibodies were successfully applied to an ELISA format for the detection of THC, cocaine, and morphine in saliva samples. Monoclonal antibodies

Plasmodium falciparum:Rosettes do not protect merozoites from invasion-inhibitory antibodies [PDF]
Rosetting is a parasite adhesion phenotype associated with severe malaria in African children. Why parasites form rosettes is unknown, although enhanced invasion or immune evasion have been suggested as possible functions.

Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, which infects dogs and humans in many regions of Brazil. The present study involved an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to analyze L. infantum, Ehrlichia spp., Babesia canis, Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum infection rates in serum samples from 93 dogs ...
