Corticosterone selectively decreases humoral immunity in female eiders during incubation

open access: yes, 2007
Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction.

Handling rescue therapy in myasthenia gravis clinical trials: why it matters and why you should care

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Myasthenia gravis (MG) clinical trials typically allow rescue therapy during follow‐up in the event of marked worsening of MG symptoms. Failure to appropriately address rescue therapy in defining treatment effects and planning statistical analyses may yield biased estimates, increase false positive rates, or decrease statistical power – all of

Serum immunoglobulin levels and risk of antibiotic prescription in middle-aged and older individuals: A population-based cohort study

open access: yesClinical Immunology Communications, 2023
: Objectives: Elderly become more susceptible to lower respiratory tract infections, resulting in antibiotic prescriptions. Immunoglobulins (Ig) play an important role in host defense and protection against infections. Therefore, we aimed to investigate

An Investigation into Outlier Elimination and Calculation Methods in the Determination of Reference Intervals using Serum Immunoglobulin A as a Model Data Collection [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Background: Reference intervals are essential to interpret diagnostic tests, but their determination has become controversial. Methods: In this paper parametric, non-parametric and robust reference intervals with Tukey and block elimination are calculated from a dataset of over 32,000 serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) measurements.

Effect of Direct-Fed Microbials and Enzyme Supplementation in Prepartum Holstein Cows on Colostrum and Calf Immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In cows, colostrum is composed of several antibodies and nutrients to provide immunity and energy to the calf. Feeding calves high quality colostrum has been shown to improve calf health, leading to reduced mortality in calves and greater milk production

Chimerization of antibodies by isolation of rearranged genomic variable regions by the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We describe a new method for amplification, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), of rearranged segments encoding the variable part of light and heavy chains of an antibody (Ab) from the chromosomal DNA of hybridoma cells for the chimerization ofAbs.

If it does not help, it might hurt: Pharmacodynamics of a second IVIg course in Guillain–Barré syndrome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective treatment for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), but recovery varies between patients. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single and a second IVIg dose (SID) in patients with GBS.

Recent advances in the immunological understanding of association between tonsil and immunoglobulin A nephropathy as a tonsil‐induced autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2019
Introduction Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. It is well known that upper respiratory tract infections, particularly acute tonsillitis, often worsen IgAN.
