High-throughput Sequencing Based Immune Repertoire Study during Infectious Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
The selectivity of the adaptive immune response is based on the enormous diversity of T and B cell antigen-specific receptors. The immune repertoire, the collection of T and B cells with functional diversity in the circulatory system at any given time ...

Computational and Bioinformatics Techniques for Immunology [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2014
Computational immunology and immunological bioinformatics are well-established and rapidly evolving research fields. Whereas the former aims to develop mathematical and/or computational methods to study the dynamics of cellular and molecular entities during the immune response [1–4], the latter targets proposing methods to analyze large genomic and ...

Production of highly and broad-range specific monoclonal antibodies against hemagglutinin of H5-subtype avian influenza viruses and their differentiation by mass spectrometry

Virology Journal, 2018
Background The highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of the H5 subtype, such as the H5N1 viral strains or the novel H5N8 and H5N2 reassortants, are of both veterinary and public health concern worldwide. To combat these viruses, monoclonal antibodies

In vitro evaluation of live attenuated vaccines against Salmonella enteritidis: cell-mediated immune response

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The use of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) live attenuated vaccines is one of the major tool to reduce this infection in commercial poultry. In this work, techniques, evaluating the presence and the expression of some cytokines, were studied to improve the ...

Standardization and performance evaluation of mononuclear cell cytokine secretion assays in a multicenter study

BMC Immunology, 2006
Background Cryopreservation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been used to preserve and standardize immunologic measurements for multicenter studies, however, effects of cryopreservation on cytokine responses are incompletely understood.
