Antibodies against the light chain of tetanus toxin in human sera.
Tetanus toxoid elicits protective antibodies against tetanus toxin in humans and animals. It has been reported that antitoxin from immunized humans contains no anti-light chain antibodies, based on immunodiffusion and quantitative precipitin analyses. We confirmed the absence of precipitating anti-light chain antibodies in tetanus immune globulin. However, the presence of antibodies against the...
متن کاملThe tetanus toxin light chain inhibits exocytosis.
The intracellular action on exocytosis of various forms of tetanus toxin was studied using adrenal medullary chromaffin cells, the membrane barrier of which has been removed by permeabilization with streptolysin O. Such cells still release catecholamines on stimulation with calcium. The two-chain form of tetanus toxin (67 nmol/l) strongly inhibited exocytosis, but only if dithiothreitol was pre...
متن کاملLower Serum Levels of Antibodies against Tetanus Toxin in Patients with Hypothyroidism
Background: A fundamental duty of the immune system is to defend against infectious agents. Significant abnormalities were reported in immune parameters of hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients. In this study, we aim to assess various quantities of antibodies against the tetanus toxin (anti-TT) in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients. Materials and Methods: Anti-TT levels were measured in se...
متن کاملproduction and characterization of recombinant light chain and carboxyterminal heavy chain fragments of tetanus toxin
background: light chain (lc) and heavy chain carboxyterminal subdomain (hcc) fragments are the most important parts of tetanus neurotoxin (tent) which play key roles in toxicity and binding of tent, respectively. in the present study, these two fragments were cloned and expressed in a prokaryotic system and their identity was confirmed using anti-tent specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodi...

عصر روشنگری زمان شکل گیری ایده های مدرن تربیتی- آموزشی بود اما تاکید بیش از اندازه ی دوشاخه مهم فلسفی زمان یعنی عقل گرایی و حس گرایی بر دقت و وضوح، انسان عصر روشنگری را نسبت به دیگر تواناییهایش نابینا کرده و موجب به وجود آمدن افرادی تک بعدی شد که افتخارعقلانیتشان، تاکید شان بر تجربه فردی، به مبارزه طلبیدن منطق نیاکانشان وافسون زدایی شان از دنیا وتمام آنچه با حواس پنجگانه قابل درک نبوده و یا در ...
