Humoral Immunity and Cell-Mediated Immunity

Humoral and cell-mediated immunity to cytomegaloviruses.

Specific immunologic resistance mechanisms to cytomegalovirus (CMV) have not been extensively studied in either normal subjects or immunosuppressed renal allograft recipients. Such studies are in progress in my laboratory. Humoral immunity to CMV appears to be unimpaired in infected transplant patients. The neutralizing (NT) antibody titers in 24 allograft recipients with active CMV infection w...

Anergy to tuberculin in beef cattle.

Various aspects associated with anergy to tuberculin were investigated in a total of 75 tuberculous cattle. Forty-six (59%) had single lesions and 32 (41%) had multiple lesions. Forty-three (55.1%) had lesions in the lungs or associated lymph nodes and 23 (29.5%) showed multiple involvement of these tissues. Nine anergic cattle had generalised tuberculosis. Histological examination of lesions f...

Evaluating Complement-Mediated Humoral Immunity to P. falciparum Blood Stages

Understanding mechanisms of immunity that protect from malaria is essential for the development of highly effective vaccines. The merozoite form of the parasite, which invades red blood cells, is an important target of protective immunity (Beeson et al., 2016). Biryukov et al. bring to our attention the potential ability of complement factors to enhance P. falciparum merozoite invasion in vitro...
