Somatic diversification of antibody responses

Journal of Clinical Immunology, 1996
The humoral immune response is the culmination of a complex series of cellular interactions and migrations that define specific pathways of antigen-driven B cell differentiation. There are about 5 x 10{sup 8} and 10{sup 12} B lymphocyte lineage cells in the mouse and human, respectively, after the immune system has been established.

The antibody response

2013
This chapter examines how B-cells and T-cells, acting together, give rise to the production of antibody molecules: the antibody response. It begins with discussing the activation of B-cells, which occurs mainly in the lymphoid organs (the site depending on the route by which antigen arrives).

Regulatory circuits and antibody responses

European Journal of Immunology, 1980
AbstractConsideration of the interactions among cells and cell products involved in regulating antibody responses leads us to suggest that such interactions are organized into several discrete circular series (circuits) integrated with one another by virtue of shared circuit components.

Serum antibody responses in opisthorchiasis

International Journal for Parasitology, 1995
We evaluated an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using crude parasite homogenates as a diagnostic test for Opisthorchis viverrini infection in humans. Serum antibody (Ab) responses to O. viverrini adult worm homogenate (AWH) and metacercaria homogenate (MH) were studied in 83 infected residents of an opisthorchiasis-endemic area in Thailand.

Antibody responses in hyperthyroid rats

International Immunopharmacology, 2007
This study evaluated antibody production against sheep red blood cells (SRBC) in hyperthyroid rats during treatment with triiodothyronine (T(3)). The immune response was evaluated by measuring plaque forming cells (PFC) in the spleen and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum of male Wistar rats (180+/-10 g) treated with 25 mug/day of ...

Intestinal colonization and antibody response

Infection, 1982
Rapid bacterial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract takes place immediately after birth. Only a few of the Escherichia coli strains colonizing the gut of healthy full-term neonates expressed MS pili. On the other hand, most E. coli strains isolated carried MR pili resembling the P-fimbriae which are a known virulence factor for ...

Antibody response to dengue virus

Microbes and Infection, 2014
In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of the role of the antibody response against dengue virus and highlight novel insights into targets recognized by the human antibody response. We also discuss how the balance of pathological and protective antibody responses in the host critically influences clinical aspects of the disease.

Antibody responses in watermelon sensitivity

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988
Watermelon-specific IgE (WM-IgE) appears to mediate the oropharyngeal symptoms after watermelon ingestion. However, less than one fourth of watermelon-sensitive individuals (i.e., those with detectable WM-IgE) develop such symptoms after watermelon ingestion.

Antibody Response to Anaerobic Bacteria

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1979
Anaerobes, especially the gram-negative non-spore-forming bacilli of the indigenous biota, are recognized as important agents of clinical infection; however, information regarding human antibodies to anaerobes is limited. Sporadic work, employing agglutination, gel diffusion, passive hemagglutination, and immunofluorescence, demonstrated antibody ...

Antibody Response to Thyroid Irradiation

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1964
Serial measurements of thyroid auto-antibody titers by complement fixation and tanned red cell agglutination methods have been made in 30 patients with thyrotoxicosis, before and following treatment with radioactive iodine. A rise in titer by one or both methods was demonstrated in 18 subjects.
