چکیده

background: respiratory syncytical virus infection is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and viral pneumonia in infancy. objective: to investigate the placental transfer of rsv-specific igg in iranian mothers. methods: the antibodies were measured in sera of 146 mother/newborn pairs using a commercially available indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the studied subjects were among healthy pregnant women who attended to the zeinabieh hospital of shiraz university of medical sciences in a one year period. results: a highly significant correlation was observed between rsv-specific igg in newborns and mothers (r = 0.88). however, mean rsv-specific igg antibodies in neonates was significantly higher than that of their mothers (p = 0.019). in addition, the mean cord/maternal ratio of rsv-specific igg was detected to be 1.27 ± 0.60. maternal blood group, age, parity, previous abortions and neonatal gestational age had no correlation with placental transfer of rsv-specific igg antibodies. conclusion: our finding demonstrates that placental transfer of rsv-specific igg antibodies is an active process and the main factor that influences this transfer is maternal concentration of these immunoglobulins.

Impact of Placental Malaria and Hypergammaglobulinemia on Transplacental Transfer of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Antibody in Papua New Guinea.

BACKGROUND Passively acquired respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) neutralizing antibody protects against RSV-associated lower respiratory infections, but placental malaria (PM) and maternal hypergammaglobulinemia might interfere with transplacental immunoglobulin transport. METHODS We measured RSV plaque-reduction neutralization (PRN) antibody in 300 full-term maternal/cord serum pairs in 2 coh...

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus.

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a major cause of respiratory disease and a major contributor to the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. BRSV infects the upper and lower respiratory tract and is shed in nasal secretions. The close relatedness of BRSV to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) has allowed researchers to use BRSV and HRSV to elucidate the mechanisms by which th...
