Absorption of serum proteins by inorganic dusts

Absorption of serum proteins by inorganic dusts.

Jones, B. M., Edwards, J. H., and Wagner, J. C. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med., 29, 287-292. Absorption of serum proteins by inorganic dusts. Four samples of coal dust of different ranks, five types of asbestos, and a sample of silica were each incubated with normal serum and with IgG and the amount of protein absorbed onto the particle surfaces was estimated. The total amount of protein absorb...

Exposures and health effects from inorganic agricultural dusts.

Most studies of respiratory disease from dust exposure in the agricultural workplace have focused on allergic diseases caused by inorganic dusts, specifically occupational asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Exposures to inorganic (mineral) dusts among farmers and farm workers may be substantial. Such exposures are most frequent in dry-climate farming regions. In such locations farming act...

Characterization of Influenza Antibodies by Serum Absorption

Absorptions of sera from groups of persons, both normal and after vaccination, resulted in complete removal of antibody to all strains of influenza virus within a type when a strain of antigenic configuration similar to that presumed to be the strain of first experience was employed. Absorption of these sera with strains encountered after the primary antigenic stimulus, removed antibody to stra...
