Age‐related differentiations of Th1/Th2 cytokines in newborn infants

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 89-92, 2004., 2004
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate age‐related differentiation of immune response in newborns by measuring serum concentrations of interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) during the perinatal period. Subjects and methods: Fifty‐seven healthy term neonates, their mothers and 25 healthy adults (controls) age‐matched to the mothers were ...

Antibodies to Human Thymic Epithelium Form Part of the Murine Autoreactive Repertoire

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 75-93, 2001., 2001
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) MR6 recognises a 200 kDa glycoprotein, gp200‐MR6, which is expressed at high levels on the surface of human thymic cortical epithelium. In order to produce further mAbs against the gp200‐MR6 molecule, mice were immunised with purified human gp200‐MR6, hybridomas produced and supernatants screened for MR6‐like reactivity on ...

Anti‐inflammatory response of IL‐4, IL‐10 and TGF‐β in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 9, Issue 3-4, Page 193-195, 2000., 2000
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory process seen in association with a large number of clinical infective and noninfective conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of anti‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin–4 (IL–4), interleukin–10 (IL–10), and transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐beta ...

Rotavirus infection in a tertiary hospital: laboratory diagnosis and impact of immunization on pediatric hospitalization

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Background and objectives: Rotavirus (RV) is the main etiological agent of diarrhea in childhood; its laboratory diagnosis is crucial to guide the clinical management and prevention of its spread.

Analysis of Receptors for Cytokines and Growth Factors in Human Disease

Disease Markers, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 225-240, 1996., 1996
The physiological importance of cytokines and other factors which control cell and tissue growth and differentiation is widely appreciated. While physiological studies have included the cellular receptors for these factors, studies on their role in disease have concentrated on the measurement of cytokines themselves or soluble receptor components. This

Differential Expression of Adhesion Molecules Within the Human Thymus

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 55-64, 1994., 1994
Development of a diverse, MHC‐restricted yet self‐tolerant T‐cell repertoire occurs within the thymus, and requires contact between developing T cells and their stromal microenvironment. Such interactions are likely to depend on the combinatorial effect of specific adhesion molecules.

Comparison of Culture and Rapid Enzyme Immunoassay for the Detection of Group B Streptococcus in High‐Risk Pregnancies

Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 115-119, 1994., 1994
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Equate Strep B® test for clinical use in patients at high risk for complications from group B streptococcus (GBS) disease. Methods: Vaginoperineal swabs were obtained from patients with preterm premature rupture of the membranes and/or preterm labor and semiquantitative GBS cultures and Equate ...

Immunoturbidimetric determination of serum transferrin on a Kone Progress autoanalyser

Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 40-41, 1989., 1989
The Kone Progress, a multiparametric discrete analyser, was used to determine serum transferrin with a kit supplied by Kone. Assays recommended by the French Society of Clinical Chemistry were performed in order to assess the suitability of the test. Repeatability was assessed using serum pools with low (L), medium (M) and high (H) concentrations of ...

CONTENTS OF IL-1Β, IL-RA, IL-4, IL-8 AND IFNΓ IN THE CHILDREN WITH MINOR CLINICAL FORMS OF TUBERCULOSIS INFECTED WITH TOXOPLASMA GONDII AND EPSTEIN–BARR VIRUS

Медицинская иммунология, 2014
. A group of 122 children, aged 7 to 16 year, with minor clinical forms of tuberculosis and infected with Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) was examined to evaluate the cytokine system. Immunoenzyme techniques were used to detect
