diphtheria/albumin

The serum antibody titers to diphtheria toxoid and human serum albumin were determined in 103 goat kids from lines selected for 12 yr for high or low antibody response to diphtheria toxoid. In the 12th yr, six groups of kids were immunized with different preparations of the antigens. In all groups

CONCLUSIONS Norwegian dairy goats were tested for possible associations between the goat lymphocyte antigen system (GLA) and antibody response to the antigens diphtheria toxoid, human-serum albumin and tetanus toxoid. The serum titres to these antigens following immunization, and their

Total and effective concentrations of blood serum albumins were measured in 45 patients with various clinical forms of diphtheria. Both parameters were decreased in patients with toxic forms of the disease in comparison with the norm and with those in patients during the period when specific

1. The globulins of both normal and diphtheria antitoxic serum exhibit chemically toward reagents the same reactions, being precipitated by magnesium sulphate and split up into fractions in precisely the same way. 2. All of the diphtheric antitoxic power of both normal and immunized serum is always

BACKGROUND We previously reported that ovalbumin-diphtheria toxin (OVA-DT) fusion protein eliminates mast cells bearing OVA-specific IgE and protects OVA-sensitized mice from fatal anaphylaxis induced by OVA challenge. OBJECTIVE To prove the specificity of therapeutic effect of OVA-DT to allergy

When a mixture of mRNA from hybridoma producing IgG, anti-diphtheria toxin antibody, and mRNA from rat liver was injected into Xenopus oocytes, most of the IgG synthesized in the oocytes was not secreted into the medium and remained in the rough endoplasmic reticulum fraction. In contrast, rat serum

The Arthus reaction was studied in guinea pigs passively immunized with human diphtheria antitoxin. Diphtheria toxoid was given intradermally 24 hours following the intravenous administration of antitoxin and the subsequent reactions were graded and measured. The intensity of Arthus reactions was

Claudin (CL)-4, a tight junction protein, is overexpressed in some human neoplasias, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. The targeting of CL-4 is a novel strategy for tumor therapy. We previously found that the C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin

OBJECTIVE Hepatic progenitor cells, called hepatoblasts, are highly proliferative and exhibit bipotential differentiation into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes in the fetal liver. Thus, they are the ideal source for transplantation therapy. Although several studies have been performed in vitro, the

The blood clearance and distribution in the tissues of (125)I after intravenous injection of small doses (1.5-5 MLD or 0.08-0.25 microg) of (125)I-labeled diphtheria toxin has been followed in guinea pigs and rabbits and compared with the fate of equivalent amounts of injected (125)I-labeled toxoid

1. Two horses were injected subcutaneously with alum-precipitated rabbit serum albumin. 2. The resulting antibody resembled diphtheria antitoxin and anti-egg albumin in the horse in giving a sharp zone of flocculation with antigen, in being water-soluble, in reactivity toward an anti-antibody rabbit
