Placental Transfer and Maternally Acquired Neonatal IgG Immunity in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1996
Transplacental transfer of specific IgG antibodies was studied in 46 pairs of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-seropositive women and their neonates and in 53 pairs of healthy HIV-seronegative mothers and their newborns. Neonatal and maternal sera were assessed by nephelometry for total levels of serum IgG and by ELISA for IgG antibodies to ...

Rabies Vaccination of 6-Week-Old Puppies Born to Immunized Mothers: A Randomized Controlled Trial in a High-Mortality Population of Owned, Free-Roaming Dogs

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
To achieve global elimination of human rabies from dogs by 2030, evidence-based strategies for effective dog vaccination are needed. Current guidelines recommend inclusion of dogs younger than 3 months in mass rabies vaccination campaigns, although ...

Escherichia coli Septicemia Associated with Lack of Maternally Acquired Immunity in a Bottlenose Dolphin Calf [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2007
Stillbirth and neonatal mortality are substantial problems in captive bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus). The cause of these problems often is unknown. We report a case of Escherichia coli septicemia in a male 3-day-old bottlenose dolphin calf.

Neutralization of Maternal IL-4 Modulates Congenital Protozoal Transmission: Comparison of Innate Versus Acquired Immune Responses [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2000
AbstractIL-4 levels were modulated in mice to test the hypothesis that induction of a maternal type 1 response would decrease the frequency of congenital Neospora caninum transmission. This hypothesis tested the relationship between IL-4 and both innate and adaptive immunity utilizing two basic experimental designs.

The use of a formal sensitivity analysis on epidemic models with immune protection from maternally acquired antibodies [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
This paper considers the outcome of a formal sensitivity analysis on a series of epidemic model structures developed to study the population level effects of maternal antibodies. The analysis is used to compare the potential influence of maternally acquired immunity on various age and time domain observations of infection and serology, with and without
