Development of humoral immunity

Development of Humoral and Cellular Immunity in Man M . ADINOLFI

Recent studies have radically changed our views of the development of acquired immunity during gestation and perinatal life. It is now apparent that there are considerable differences in the way the immune response matures in different species (Sterzl and Silverstein, 1967; Adinolfi and Wood, 1969; Solomon, 1971). In mice and rats immune reactions are relatively immature even in the newborn. In...

Humoral immunity in cardiomyopathy.

Sera from patients with heart disease were examined by single sandwich indirect immunofluorescence for the presence of antibodies to human heart muscle. Endocardial biopsy specimens were also examined by direct immunofluorescence for deposition of antibodies in vivo. No consistent or specific abnormality was found in the biopsy specimens or sera of patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. The p...
