Immune Responses in Context

Different Immune Responses in Dangerous O Blood Donors

Background & Objective: Dangerous O is very important to transfusion medicine and there has been reports by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding some death relating incidences. As high iso-antibody production is closely associated with different immune reactions, a survey on the different immune response of dangerous O donors can lead to understanding their immune respo...

t cell immune responses in psoriasis.

a central role for t cells and their cytokines in the pathogenesis of psoriasis has been proposed; however, there are controversies over the details of this issue. the goal of this study is to summarise currently available data on the importance of t cells in psoriasis pathogenesis. a  systematic  review  of  the  english  medical  literature  was  conducted  by  searching pubmed, embase, isi w...

Immune Responses in Vitro

The effects of hyperimmune anti-sheep erythrocyte (SRBC) antibody on the plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to SRBC by mouse spleen cells in vitro were studied. Anti-SRBC antibody specifically suppressed the PFC response against SRBC. The degree of suppression was directly related to the amount of antibody added and was overcome by large amounts of antigen. Suppressive activity was absorbed fro...

Immune Responses to Antigens of in vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worms in Balb/c Mice

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...
