Antibody enhanced viral growth in macrophages

Immunology Letters, 1985
Antiviral antibody can promote viral entry into macrophages by pathways involving cellular receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin or for complement components. Whether virus taken up through these routes is restricted or results in productive infection depends upon a balance between a number of variables. These include the virus strain and dose,

Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Antibodies in Nigerian Populations

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
Using the immunofluorescence test, a serosurvey for antibodies to five viral agents associated with hemorrhagic febrile infections was conducted with 1,677 human sera from different parts of Nigeria. Three hundred fifty-seven (21.3%) were positive for Lassa virus antibody, while antibodies to Rift Valley fever virus were detected in 42 (2.5%) of the ...

Viral antibodies in mothers of defective children

Teratology, 1972
AbstractIn the years 1964‐66, 338 newborns with a total of 379 gross malformations of the central nervous system and matched‐pair controls were reported to the Finnish Register of Congenital Malformations. Blood samples and detailed maternal histories were obtained from 162 mothers of defective children and their respective controls during the first 2,

Viral haemorrhagic fever antibodies in Zimbabwe schoolchildren

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982
Abstract Sera of 486 schoolchildren from four communal areas in Zimbabwe were tested by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique for antibodies to Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever, Rift Valley fever, Ebola, Lassa and Marburg viruses. Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever and Ebola-Zaire viruses were shown to have been active in all four areas and ...

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Viral Infectivity

1986
Publisher Summary This chapter surveys the historical background to the phenomenon of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of viral infectivity and considers the two mechanisms that are known to exist. It updates the earlier review of Halstead that was concerned solely with enhancement mediated by cellular receptors for the Fc portion of ...

Therapeutic antibodies against viral hepatitis.

Current opinion in molecular therapeutics, 2003
Antibodies have the potential to be immunotherapeutic agents, used either as stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct for managing chronic viral infection. In addition, antibodies may be used prophylactically in individuals who have been accidentally exposed to hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV), or to prevent re-infection of the liver in ...
