Clq and immune complexes in liver cirrhosis sera.

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1983
The highest mean value of the serum C1q concentrations among chronic liver diseases was obtained in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). C1q serum levels seemed to increase along the progression of liver damage. Serum levels of C1q and CH50 in patients with LC and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were simultaneously estimated.

Circulating immune complexes in colon cancer patient sera [PDF]

Cancer, 1979
Sera from 29 colon cancer patients and 16 elderly normal controls were compared using the Raji radioimmunoassay and the Clq binding assay. By the Raji assay 11 of 29 cancer patients had evidence of circulating complexes, while by the Clq assay only 4 of the 29 patients had complexes. There was no significant difference between the levels of circulating

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...

Cholestatic liver disease after rituximab and adalimumab and the possible role of cross-reacting antibodies to Fab 2 fragments. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Millions of patients are treated with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (Tmabs) for miscellaneous diseases. We investigated sera from six patients who received immune globulin, from one patient with refractory anti-neutrophil-cytoplasmic ...

Biological and technical complexities in analyzing extracellular vesicle immune interactions in B‐cell malignancies

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication in tumor immune microenvironments. However, their role in B‐cell malignancies remains poorly defined, owing to biological complexity and technical challenges in EV isolation and analysis.

In vivo imaging of Zika virus reveals dynamics of viral invasion in immune-sheltered tissues and vertical propagation during pregnancy [PDF]

, 2020
Rationale: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic virus known to cause a wide range of congenital abnormalities, including microcephaly, Guillain-Barre syndrome, meningoencephalitis, and other neurological complications, in humans. This study investigated the

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.

Blocking entry of hepatitis B and D viruses to hepatocytes as a novel immunotherapy for treating chronic infections [PDF]

, 2021
Background. Chronic hepatitis B and D virus (HBV/HDV) infections can cause cancer. Current HBV therapy using nucleoside analogues (NAs) is life-long and reduces but does not eliminate the risk of cancer.
