Immune responses to recombinant proteins of Mycobacterium leprae.
Identification of antigenic determinants of the polar immune response in leprosy may illuminate both protection and pathogenesis. Thirty subjects were studied (22 with polar disease and 8 healthy controls who were heavily exposed but disease-free) by assaying the proliferative, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and antibody responses to recombinant antigens of Mycobacterium leprae (10, 28, 36, and 65 kDa...
متن کاملCytokine responses to Mycobacterium leprae unique proteins differentiate between Mycobacterium leprae infected and naive armadillos.
New diagnostic tools for early detection of leprosy are necessary to help reduce its transmission and severity. M. leprae unique proteins have been used to assess differences in human T-cell responses in leprosy patients, household contacts and endemic controls. In this study, we examined the response of M. leprae-infected armadillos to a variety of M. leprae recombinant antigen candidates curr...
متن کاملMeasuring immune responses to recombinant AAV gene transfer.
Following AAV-based gene transfer, the occurrence of adaptive immune responses specific to the vector or the transgene product is a major roadblock to successful clinical translation. These responses include antibodies against the AAV capsid, which can be neutralizing and therefore prevent the ability to repeatedly administer the vector, and CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which can eliminate t...
متن کاملLeprosy reactions: humoral and cellular immune responses to M. leprae, 65kDa, 28kDa, and 18 kDa antigens.
This study examines the immune responses against some stress proteins of Mycobacterium leprae in leprosy patients with and without leprosy reactions. Leprosy patients showed a higher level of antibodies to all antigens compared to healthy controls. The antibody response to 18kDa antigen was significantly higher in patients with Type 1 reaction compared to those of TT or borderline patients with...
متن کاملigg immune responses to different proteins of helicobacter pylori as defined by immunoblot assay
helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) is an etiologic factor for chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers. serological testing of h.pylori infection is common in iran, as other parts of the world. there are geographical variations in the humoral immune response to various h. pylori strains in different parts of the worl. we studied the immunogenic proteins of h.pylori by means of an immunoblot assay with a...
