conclusions findings of this study demonstrate no significant difference between levels of h. pylori specific antibodies of iga, igg, anti-caga and the presence of pcos disorders, and also indicate that serologic testing is a sensitive method for the detection of h. pylori antibodies. the high prevalence of h. pylori positive antibody levels in both pcos and non-pcos patients can be probably as...

A subset of SLE patients has serologically detectable autoantibodies to the ribosomal P proteins (anti-P). We reported the discovery of covert anti-P antibodies and their masking IgG-inhibitory antibodies in the sera of healthy adults. The aim of this study was to determine if these IgG-inhibitory antibodies are anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-Ids). IgG and IgG-depleted fractions of plasma from...

OBJECTIVE To determine the seroprevalence rates of IgG to common TORCH agents in pregnant Saudi women using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 926 samples of sera were tested for antibodies to TORCH agents known to cause serious congenital infections: Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2), varicella...

background and purpose: although molds are regarded as the main fungal allergen sources, evidence indicates that spores of basidiomycota including agaricus bisporus (a. bisporus) can be also found at high concentrations in the environment and may cause as many respiratory allergies as molds. the aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin e (ige) and immunoglobulin g (igg) ...

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common disease, which several etiologic factors have been considered for it. The infectious agents and immunological factors are the most suspected causes. Recently a few studies with varied results have been done to clarify the role of Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori) in etiology of RAS. Objective: To find correlations between serum IgG and Ig...

Background: Herpes simplex viruses have been implicated as a cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to their widespread distribution and ability infect human vascular endothelial cells. Objectives: The present study aimed evaluate the link between infections disease. Methods: This case-control involved 236 patients aged 35 - 65, 118 with known controls. Patients’ evaluation was based on data...

antibodies are a diverse class of glycoproteins that specially bind with antigen and elicit a number of secondary responses in vivo. most of the applications of antibodies in basic research diagnosis and immunotherapy rely on labeling of the antibody with radiopharmaceuticals. radiolabeled antibodies are a new class of imaging agents for the detection of sites of disease. true biodistribution o...
