Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Pretreatment on Anti-HLA Antibody Titer: A Preclinical Experience in Rats
Background: Erythropoietin (EPO) was first known as a factor for red blood cell proliferation and differentiation. New studies show the effects of EPO on immune system. Objective: In this study, the effects of pretreatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the anti-human leukocyte antibody (anti-HLA) titer were determined. Methods: Three groups of rats were sensitized with human...
متن کاملDetermination of Anti-Adeno-Associated Virus Vector Neutralizing Antibody Titer with an In Vitro Reporter System
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are a platform of choice for in vivo gene transfer applications. However, neutralizing antibodies (NAb) to AAV can be found in humans and some animal species as a result of exposure to the wild-type virus, and high-titer NAb develop following AAV vector administration. In some conditions, anti-AAV NAb can block transduction with AAV vectors even when present...
متن کاملDetermination of brucella immunoglobulin G agglutinating antibody titer with dithiothreitol.
The routine brucella agglutination test measures both immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG brucella antibody titers; however, only an elevated IgG titer is significant for differentiating active from inactive disease in patients with symptoms lasting 3 or more weeks. The IgG antibody titer can be determined by treating the serum wih 2-mercaptoethanol to inactivate the IgM brucella antibodies while le...
متن کاملDetermination of Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Titer in Vaccinated Children with Major Thalassemia in Kerman-Iran
Background: Thalassemia patients are more susceptible to hepatitis than the normal population due to the frequent blood transfusions. Objective: To determine the immune response of children with major ß-thalassemia, by measuring anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs Ab) following the last HBV vaccine injection. Methods: This study was carried out on 215 thalassemic children who received t...
متن کاملevaluation of serum anti-cardiolipin antibody titer of patients with chronic periodontitis in comparison with periodontally healthy population
objective: evidence shows periodontally infected patients may be at a higher risk of thrombotic accidents and adverse pregnancy outcomes, via induced systemic inflammatory mediators' production. some authors have concluded that increase in systemic inflammatory markers occurs together with increase in serum levels of auto antibodies including anti-cardiolipin antibody (acla). the aim of the pre...
