First electrochemical bioplatforms described for the single and simultaneous determination of two immunoglobulin (Ig) subtypes, IgE IgG4 specific to ovalbumin (OVA), considered as reliable markers diagnosis monitoring egg allergy.

This paper proposes an approach to constructing a 3-D paper-m ad e ob ject from a crease pattern, a set of line segm ents (creases) on a sheet of paper w hich is usually prod uced w hen a paper-m ad e ob ject such as origam i is unfold ed . F irst, a coord inate transform ation m ethod from 2 -D crease patterns to 3-D space is proposed . S ince faces (form ed b y the creases) m ore than tw o ar...

Anti-Ig has been widely used as a model for antigen receptor-mediated B cell activation. B cells activated with mitogenic concentrations of anti-Ig (approximately 10 micrograms/ml) become responsive to a set of T cell-derived, antigen-nonspecific helper factors that enable the B cells to proliferate, and, in some cases, mature to Ig secretion. In the present experiments, we show that anti-Ig ca...

A number of Ag-specific approaches have been developed that ameliorate experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for the human autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. Translation to humans, however, remains a consideration, justifying the search for more insight into the mechanism underlying restoration of self-tolerance. Ig-proteolipid protein (PLP) 1 and Ig-myelin oligoden...

Materials and methods 10 children from 6 to 10 year of age were desensitize by introducing increasing doses of cow milk (CM) till 200 ml or the highest tolerated quality for approximally 6 months. Ig-E mediated cow’s milk allergy was convinced by skin prick test and/or specific IgE. Double – blind placebo controlled food challenge has confirmed the diagnosis. All children were observed on the f...

We show that every periodic element of the free idempotent generated semigroup on an arbitrary biordered set belongs to a subgroup of the semigroup. The biordered set of a semigroup S is the set of idempotents of S considered as a partial groupoid with respect to the restriction of the multiplication of S to those pairs (e, f) of idempotents such that ef = e , ef = f , fe = e or fe = f . Namboo...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) antigen receptors are composed of a noncovalently-associated complex of Ig and two other proteins, Ig alpha and Ig beta. The cytoplasmic domain of both of these Ig associated proteins contains a consensus sequence that is shared with the signaling proteins of the T cell and Fc receptor. To test the idea that Ig alpha-Ig beta heterodimers are the signaling components of the I...
