Successful human vaccination by synthetic malarial sporozoite peptides may depend on the choice of an appropriate carrier. Tetanus toxoid (TT) has been proposed because of its safe and widespread use in humans. Paradoxically, however, prior exposure to this toxoid vaccine could produce specific epitopic suppression against synthetic malarial peptides conjugated to this same protein as carrier. ...

B lymphocyte surface immunoglobulins (Smlg) were studied in 24 patients with multiple myeloma by means of anti-isotypic antisera, and their heavy and light chain isotypes were compared in each patient with those of the paraprotein. In 21 patients, lymphocyte Smlg consisted of only one light chain type, and in 16 of only 1 heavy chain type. However, the Smlg and paraprotein heavy and light chain...

We have previously shown that adult A/J mice produce high titers of anti-IgE with isotypic or idiotypic specificities in response to challenge with a conjugate of KLH with syngeneic monoclonal IgE. Thus, B cells that can synthesize anti-IgE are present in the mice. Adult mice are unresponsive to unconjugated IgE in CFA, suggesting that tolerance exists at the level of T cells. The present study...

The glycanic epitope of the 38,000 Mr Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula major immunogen defined by the IPLSm1 protective mAb was identified in the hemocyanin of the marine mollusc Megathura crenulata, better known as KLH. This antigenic community was exploited to investigate further the biological properties of this epitope. KLH was shown to strongly inhibit the binding of IPLSm1 mAb to its 38,...

The title compound, [Tb(C(18)H(22.5)N(2)O(4))(2)], is isotypic with its Pr and Tb analogues. All interatomic distances, angles and the hydrogen bond geometry are very similar for the three structures.

The title compound, [Pr(C(18)H(22.5)N(2)O(4))(2)], is isotypic with its Er and Tb analogues. All interatomic distances, angles and the hydrogen bond geometry are very similar for the three structures..

The title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(3)H(9)O(3)P)(2)], which is isotypic with its platinum analogue, adopts a slightly distorted cis square-planar geometry for the Pd centre.

Immune response polarization is controlled by several factors, including cytokines, antigen-presenting cells, antigen dose, and others. We have previously shown that adjuvants and live vectors play a critical role in polarization. Thus, immunization with the Schistosoma mansoni 28-kDa glutathione-S-transferase (Sm28-GST) in aluminum hydroxide induced a type 2 cytokine profile and the production...

The paper is devoted to relations between model theoretic types and logically geometric types. We show that the notion of isotypic algebras can be equally defined through MT -types and LG-types.

The hydro-thermally prepared title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2)[PMo(12)O(40)]·6H(2)O, is a member of the isotypic series [(M(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2)[PMo(12)O(40)]·6H(2)O where M is Mn, Cd, and Fe. The Ni(2+) cation is in a distorted octa-hedral environment, coordinated by six N atoms from three chelating 3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-pyrazole ligands. In the one-electron reduced heteropolyanion, two O a...
