The Chemotactic Effect of Mixtures of Antibody and Antigen on Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes
نویسنده
چکیده
An in vitro technique is described for assessing the chemotactic activity of soluble substances on motile cells. Antibody-antigen mixtures when incubated (37 degrees C) in medium containing fresh (i.e. non-inactivated) normal rabbit serum exert a strong chemotactic effect on rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes. Results are described which indicate that, when antibody-antigen complexes are incubated (37 degrees C) in fresh serum, a heat-stable (56 degrees C) substance (or substances) is produced which acts directly as a chemotactic stimulus on the polymorphs. This heat-stable chemotactic substance is not produced when antibody-antigen complexes are incubated in serum which has been heated at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes.

Immunohistologic Studies on Antigen-antibody Reactions in the Avascular Cornea
The injection of antigen into the center of the avascular cornea of homologously sensitized animals induced a ring of opacification between the center of the cornea and the limbus. This ring of opacification was composed of a line of deeply eosinophilic amorphous material in a matrix of swollen collagen fibers, palisaded by polymorphonuclear leucocytes. By use of fluor-tagged antigen, it was sh...
متن کاملRole of alveolar macrophages in asbestosis: modulation of neutrophil migration to the lung after acute asbestos exposure.
After intratracheal injection of short chrysotile asbestos fibres in guinea-pigs an intense neutrophil alveolitis was observed within three days. Evaluation by bronchoalveolar lavage of the inflammatory and immune effector cells producing the alveolitis by three days showed an increased proportion of polymorphonuclear leucocytes, which comprised 21% +/- 3% of the total leucocytes compared with ...
متن کاملEffect of respiratory syncytial virus and virus-antibody complexes on the oxidative metabolism of human neutrophils.
The effect of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or mixtures of RSV and its specific antibody on the oxidative metabolic activity of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes was studied by the technique of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Peripheral blood neutrophils obtained from normal healthy donors were used. RSV alone failed to induce any chemiluminescent response by the neutrophils. However,...

Background: Lung carcinoma is a multiple type cancer comprising of small cell and non-small cell carcinomas (NSCLC). For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, serum monoclonal antibodies have been produced against lung cancer. Objective: To charac-terize a murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC. Methods: A murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC was s...
متن کاملMeasurement of Affinity Constant of Anti-human IgG Monoclonal Antibodies by an ELISA-based Method
Background: The affinity of an antibody to its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and performance of an immunoassay such as ELISA. Affinity of most IgG specific MAbs are often determined by methods which require labeling of either antigen or antibody, and are sometimes difficult to control, do not always lead to the expected signal and often result in immunological modifi...
