OBJECTIVE In major burn wounds of more than 15% total burn surface area mediator-associated reactions lead to capillary leak resulting in critical condition. Little is known about the efficiency of protein substitution. We quantified and qualified the systemic and local protein loss in burn patients during protein substitution, comparing fresh frozen plasma and the human serum protein solution ...

NEAE (Nonepisodic angioedema associated with eosinophilia) is a relatively common allergic disease in East Asia which confined to the extremities, transient and does not recur, accompanied by fever or highly elevated IgM. In this study, we report case of edema extremities young female who was able be followed up serum cytokines immunoglobulins as biomarkers. Our results suggest that only clinic...

At the present time mammalian antibodies have been demonstrated in at least three classes of serum proteins referred to as immunoglobulins. The hnmunoglobulin classes have been designated g~mma M, gamma G, and gamma A (1). Each of these proteins is composed of multiple polypeptide chains and the classes are distinguished primarily on the basis of differences of the heavier chains (2). The abili...

Phenol is naturally found in some foods and animal wastes. It is also used as a disinfectant, insecticide and in some pharmaceutical products. Immunotoxicity is considered to be one of the harmful health effects of phenol. Propolis is a mixture of beeswax and resins; it has an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effect. This study investigates effect of propolis o...

The porcine immunoglobulins M (IgM), A (IgA), and G (IgG) were isolated and purified and some of the properties of the porcine milk IgA were examined. Monospecific antisera which were prepared against these immunoglobulins in rabbits were then used to absorb a particular class of immunoglobulin from sow serum, colostrum, and milk in an attempt to identify the immunoglobulin classes of neutraliz...
