Permanent immunization against rubella virus develops both after natural infection with and active immunization, but reinfections can be occured. For that reason, it is necessary to determine the serologic profile of people.
 In study, 175 sera children taken from Ankara University Medical School, Department Pediatrics were tested by Elisa detect IgM antibodies in Microbiology Clinical Lab...

OBJECTIVE A review of the indications, contraindications, ideal timing, immunogenic efficacy and reactogenicity (adverse events) of active and passive immunization for extremely preterm infants. SOURCES OF DATA Research in classic textbooks on pediatric infectology and in the electronic databases MEDLINE, Lilacs, PubMed and Akwanmed, using the following health sciences descriptors: premature,...

Inspection of the paleontologic history of many phyla shows that when certain members of a series of polyisomeres have been subjected to in-. creasing stresses through long periods of geologic time, they have often become enlarged, strengthened or fused with their neighbors and have thereby passed into a state of anisomerism. Thus taxonomy, paleontology, comparative anatomy, genetics, experimen...

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus infection responsible for significant morbidity and mortality across Asia. Indigenous populations and those who undertake short- and long-term travel to endemic regions are at risk of infection and development of neuroinvasive disease. Effective mouse brain-derived vaccines have been available in select countries, including the United St...

INTRODUCTION Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine for which preliminary data have suggested that it might contribute to systemic sclerosis (SSc). Our aims were to investigate, firstly, IL-6 expression in patients with SSc and, secondly, the efficacy of both passive and active immunization against IL-6 to reduce skin fibrosis in complementary mouse models of SSc. METHODS Human serum ...

1. A combination of poliomyelitis virus and specific human serum is effective for the production of active immunity. 2. For each gram of active virus given intradermally as an emulsion, 6 cc. of human immune serum, injected subcutaneously, was required in our experiments to protect a monkey from paralysis. Some degree of active immunity was induced. 3. Immunity, without symptom of the disease, ...

The results obtained in this investigation indicate that poliomyelitis virus treated with tannin, sodium ricinoleate, or formalin does not constitute a satisfactory immunizing agent in monkeys against the experimental disease.

SasX is a recently described surface protein of Staphylococcus aureus that is linked to the epidemic success of hospital-associated methicillin-resistant clones, in particular in Asia. It enhances nasal colonization and virulence in skin and lung infection models. Here, we evaluated the potential of SasX as a vaccine component in passive and active immunization efforts using mouse infection mod...

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of ventricular assist device-related infections. This study evaluated the protective effect against S. aureus infection of active and passive immunization that targeted 3 proteins involved in bacterial attachment to a murine intra-aortic polyurethane patch. Active immunization of mice with a combination of the A domains of clumping factor A (ClfA), fibro...

This study explored feed intake and carcass responses to active immunization against desulfated cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) in ram lambs. Antibody titers 8 wk following primary immunization and booster immunizations given at 4 and 6 wk averaged greater than 1:1,000. Titers increased to greater than 1:10,000 by 16 wk following a final booster immunization at 11 wk. The antibodies develop...
