Neonatal Immunization with a Single IL-4/Antigen Dose Induces Increased Antibody Responses after Challenge Infection with Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) at Weanling Age [PDF]
, 2017 Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils

Potential immunological markers for diagnosis and therapeutic assessment of toxocariasis
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2011 In human toxocariasis, there are few approaches using immunological markers for diagnosis and therapeutic assessment. An immunoblot (IB) assay using excretory-secretory Toxocara canis antigen was standardized for monitoring IgG, IgE and IgA antibodies in

Characterization of the Interaction between the Herpes Simplex Virus Type I Fc Receptor and Immunoglobulin G [PDF]
, 1999 Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) virions and HSV-1-infected cells bind to human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) via its Fc region. A complex of two surface glycoproteins encoded by HSV-1, gE and gI, is responsible for Fc binding.

Antibodies and their receptors: different potential roles in mucosal defence
Frontiers in Immunology, 2013 Over recent years it has become increasingly apparent that mucosal antibodies are not only restricted to the IgM and IgA isotypes, but that also other isotypes and particularly IgG can be found in significant quantities at some mucosal surfaces, such as ...

Long-Range Control of Class Switch Recombination by Transcriptional Regulatory Elements
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) plays a crucial role in adaptive immune responses through a change of the effector functions of antibodies and is triggered by T-cell-dependent as well as T-cell-independent antigens.

Characterization of mixed lymphocyte reaction blocking antibodies (MLR-Bf) in human pregnancy
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2003 Background It is known that during normal pregnancy and after immunotherapy blocking antibodies are developed, these antibodies inhibit mixed lymphocyte reaction and are also anti-mitogenic in nature.

Immunopathology of rabies infection in mice selected for high or low acute inflammatory reaction
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007 Rabies is a severe and lethal disease that produces a slight inflammatory response during the infection process. We analyzed the immunopathological mechanisms that occur in the central nervous system (CNS) using mice genetically selected for maximal or ...
