Validation of Roche immunoassay for severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 in South Africa

open access: yesSouthern African Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background: Serology testing is an important ancillary diagnostic to the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Sustained false-positive results for hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M: A case report and literature review

open access: yesOpen Medicine, 2021
Hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin M (HAV-IgM) is often used to diagnose acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection serologically. However, false-positive test results can interfere with the diagnosis.

Serum Immunoglobulins, Pneumonia Risk, and Lung Function in Middle-Aged and Older Individuals: A Population-Based Cohort Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionImmunoglobulins (Igs) play a pivotal role in host defense and prevention of pneumonia. Aging influences serum Ig levels, but the association between Igs and pneumonia in community-dwelling older individuals remains unknown.

Characterization of B1-cells during experimental leukomogenesis

open access: yesВопросы вирусологии, 2020
Background. Bovine leukemia causes a significant polyclonal expansion of CD5+ , IgM+ B lymphocytes, known as persistent lymphocytosis (PL), in approximately 30% of infected cattle.

Learning the statistics and landscape of somatic mutation-induced insertions and deletions in antibodies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Affinity maturation is crucial for improving the binding affinity of antibodies to antigens. This process is mainly driven by point substitutions caused by somatic hypermutations of the immunoglobulin gene. It also includes deletions and insertions of genomic material known as indels.

Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis by joint detection of immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
An indirect immunofluorescence test with total anti-human immunoglobulin conjugate (IgG,A,M-IIF) can be used for joint detection of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM antibodies, provided serum IgG is previously absorbed with anti-human IgG. To determine the validity of the IgG,A,M-IIF assay with absorbed sera, the results obtained were compared with those

Learning the heterogeneous hypermutation landscape of immunoglobulins from high-throughput repertoire data [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research 48 (19) 10702-10712 (2020), 2020
Somatic hypermutations of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes occuring during affinity maturation drive B-cell receptors' ability to evolve strong binding to their antigenic targets. The landscape of these mutations is highly heterogeneous, with certain regions of the Ig gene being preferentially targeted. However, a rigorous quantification of this bias has been

Toxoplasmosis in immunoglobulin M-suppressed mice [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1982
Mice challenged with a pathogenic strain of Toxoplasma gondii develop fatal infections. However, if such mice are initially treated with sulfadiazine (SD), they develop immunity and survive with chronic infections. The role of antibody (Ab) in establishing protective immunity against acute parasitemias and in maintaining chronic infections was ...

Update on the hyper immunoglobulin M syndromes [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, 2010
SummaryThe Hyper‐immunoglobulin M syndromes (HIGM) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders resulting in defects of immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR), with or without defects of somatic hypermutation (SHM). They can be classified as defects of signalling through CD40 causing both a humoral immunodeficiency and a susceptibility to ...

Polyclonal Immunotactoid Glomerulopathy Associated with Monoclonal Gammopathy of IgM Type and Underlying Plasmacellular Disease: Successful Treatment with Rituximab Alone

open access: yesCase Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis, 2022
Immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) occurs infrequently and is characterized by organized IgG containing deposits. It most usually manifests as a concomitant disease of a broad spectrum of oncologic entities.
