The agglutination test with latex particles coated with aggregated human IgG was introduced into the evaluation of Coombs serum as an additional test for anti-IgG antibody activity. In Coombs sera prepared by the conventional immunization method employing Freund's adjuvant, latex agglutination titers were found much lower than those of anti-D-coated red cell agglutination. On the other hand, in sera prepared by other immunization methods, such as the one according to Haynes and Chaplin (1971), anti-IgG antibody response was readily observed by IgG-coated latex agglutination. Specificity of anti-IgG antibodies in the latter sera seems to be predominantly directed to aggregated human IgG.  相似文献

Patients with chronic helminth infections, despite having abundant basophils and mast cells specifically sensitized with antiparasite IgE and often exposed repeatedly to parasite Ag, rarely manifest allergic symptoms. This control of clinical allergic reactivity likely results from Ag-specific IgG "blocking antibodies" shown previously to be abundant in the sera of such patients. In the present study we used two approaches to determine in which of the four IgG subclasses this blocking activity was localized. First, specific antifilarial antibodies of each of the four IgG subclasses were quantified in the sera of 28 patients with Bancroftian filariasis and correlated with the levels of blocking activity in these sera (determined by histamine release assays). A significant correlation with blocking activity was seen only for antibodies of the IgG4 subclass, and, indeed, the correlation was especially strong in the group of totally asymptomatic patients (but with microfilariae circulating in the blood) in whom blocking antibody levels were highest. Interestingly, however, if the analysis excluded these asymptomatic microfilaremic patients and focused instead on those with lymphatic inflammatory pathology (who had relatively low levels of both serum blocking activity and specific IgG4 antibodies), then the small amount of blocking activity found in these sera correlated only with the levels of IgG1 subclass antibodies. The second approach utilized selective depletion of IgG4 (by anti-IgG4 affinity columns) from the sera of three microfilaremic patients with high levels of blocking activity and demonstrated clearly that removal of IgG4 abolished the majority of the blocking activity in these sera (53, 78, and 81%). These two sets of findings demonstrate a predominant role for specific IgG4 antibodies in blocking IgE-mediated allergic responses to the parasite Ag in vitro, but they also indicate that in some situations IgG1 antibodies can block such reactions. Furthermore, the correlation demonstrated between patients' clinical presentations and the levels of both their specific IgG4 antibodies and serum blocking activity suggests that these antibodies play a similar role in vivo as well.  相似文献

The blood sera of rabbits, immunized with preparations obtained from N. meningitidis of serogroups A, B or C, cultivated under the stress conditions, were studied. These sera were found to contain IgG antibodies not only to N. meningitidis antigens, but also to the bacterial antigens of 12 species. The sera of rabbits, immunized with meningococcal preparation of serogroup A, were found to have the elevated levels of IgG antibodies, in comparison with the control, to the antigens of 3 other bacterial species; the blood sera of rabbits, immunized with meningococcal preparation of serogroup B, were found the elevated levels of IgG antibodies to the antigens of 11 other bacterial species; and the blood sera of rabbits, immunized with meningococcal preparation of serogroup C, to the antigens of 9 other bacterial species. The study of serogroup B meningococci, used as an example, revealed the influence of the growth phase of the culture on the content of cross-reacting antigens. Their greatest amount was determined at the stationary phase when the stressor effect on the culture reached its maximum and their least amount, at the exponential phase when the stressor effect on the culture was minimal. It was, therefore, found to be expedient to obtain immunodiagnostic and test systems from N. meningitidis cultures, grown to middle of the exponential phase of growth.  相似文献

It is believed that damage to the membranes of brain cells of schizophrenia (SCZ) patients induces the formation of autoantigens and autoantibodies. Nevertheless, the importance of immunological changes leading to the loss of tolerance to self-antigens in the genesis of SCZ has not been established. The MALDI mass spectra of the IgG light chains of 20 healthy donors were relatively homogeneous and characterized by one peak with only one maximum. In contrast to the healthy donors, the MALDI mass spectra of IgG light chains corresponding to 20 SCZ patients demonstrated, similarly to 20 autoimmune systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, two maxima of a comparable intensity. In addition, the MALDI spectra of the IgG light chains of five SLE and four SCZ patients contained a small additional brightly pronounced peak with remarkably lower molecular mass compared with the main one. DNase autoantibodies (abzymes) can be found in the blood of patients with several autoimmune diseases, while the blood of healthy donors or patients with diseases without a significant disturbance of the immune status does not contain DNase abzymes. Here, we present the first analysis of anti-DNA antibodies and DNase abzymes in the sera of SCZ patients. Several strict criteria have been applied to show that the DNase activity is an intrinsic property of IgGs from the sera of SCZ patients. The sera of approximately 30% of SCZ patients displayed a higher content of antibodies (compared with 37% of SLE) interacting with single- and double-stranded DNA compared with healthy donors. Antibodies with DNase activity were revealed in 80% of the patients. These data indicate that some SCZ patients may show signs of typical autoimmune processes to a certain extent.  相似文献

The switch from IgM to IgG in lymphoblastoid cell line RPMI-6410t was induced by human sera. The factor inducing the switch was found in the human placental serum and in the serum of peripheral blood of healthy donors. The switch investigated is induced both in the initial line 6410t and in some IgM+ sublines derived from it. With the help of the cloning method some IgG+ sublines were developed with different IgG-synthesis levels from 6410t line and its IgM+ sublines after inducing the switch in them. Earlier another type of the switch induction from IgM to IgA was observed in the same line and its IgM+-sublines by the factors contained in some batches of fetal calf serum (FCSG+). Thus, the homogeneous IgM+ cell population is shown to be able to pass in vitro though two different stages of differentiation inherent to B lymphocytes in vivo.  相似文献

Radiolabeled protein A from Staphylococcus aureus (Staph A) has been used to develop a solid phase, noncompetitive radioimmunoassay for quantitation of specific IgG antibody. The assay involves two incubations: First, agarose-insolubilized antigen is mixed with serum samples for 1 to 4 hr during which specific antibody is bound; second, after a washing procedure, the solid phase immune complexes are incubated for 4 to 18 hr with 125I-Staph A, during which the radiolabeled detection protein binds to the insolubilized specific IgG antibody. In a comparative study of the IgG antiphospholipase A antibody content of 23 human sera drawn from honeybee venom-sensitive patients, resulted of the Staph A assay correlated highly (r = 0.981, p less than 0.001, N = 23) with those obtained from a liquid phase, competitive radioimmunoprecipitation (double antibody) assay. The two assays demonstrated comparable precision, sensitivity, and reproducibility. In contrast, the use of 125I-Staph A in the solid phase radioimmunoassay was superior to 125I rabbit anti-human IgG because of lower negative serum (blank) values, shorter time required to reach equilibrium binding, and greater precision and reproducibility. In principle, the 125I Staph A assay may be applied ot IgG quantitation for crude allergen extracts as well as purified antigens. Furthermore, the sera of a number of mammalian species may be studied without further modification.  相似文献

The levels of total of IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 were evaluated in 54 patients with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) before, during and after treatment using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Mexo and recombinant Pb27 (rPb27) as the antigens. Mexo was effective in distinguishing PCM patients from individuals in the negative control group (NC) based on total IgG and rPb27 performed worse than Mexo when these two groups were compared. IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 could not be used to clearly distinguish PCM patients from those in the NC group using either antigen. There was no clear relationship between antibody levels and the period of treatment. The majority of patients presented with decreased antibody levels during treatment, with no statistically significant differences among the different periods of treatment. Only IgG4 presented a negative correlation between its levels and clinical improvement during treatment. In total, 65% of untreated PCM patients showed reactivity against IgG4 when the Mexo antigen was used and this reactivity decreased over the course of treatment. There was a tendency towards decreasing antibody levels during treatment, but these antibody levels did not necessarily clear after the treatment was stopped. Mexo was useful for PCM diagnosis using total IgG; however, more studies are necessary before this antigen can be used in measuring the levels of total IgG and its subclasses for monitoring patients during treatment.  相似文献

炭疽杆菌芽胞在炭疽免疫中发挥基本作用。实验中以炭疽活芽胞疫苗为原形,建立了制备灭活和裂解炭疽芽胞的方法,研究了各种灭活和裂解炭疽芽胞疫苗不同浓度、不同剂次免疫家兔的抗芽胞和毒素IgG应答,总结分析了各种灭活和裂解炭疽芽胞疫苗用于新疫苗成分之一的可能性。甲醛灭活炭疽芽胞疫苗设芽胞浓度2.5×108剂量组、5×108剂量组、1×109剂量组,于0、4、8周时3次免疫。在3剂免疫后血清抗炭疽芽胞IgG水平持续升高,首次免疫后4、8、12周时家兔血清中抗芽胞IgG几何平均滴度可达到600~16000。裂解炭疽芽胞疫苗的制备和动物免疫中,只采取了2.5×108芽胞浓度,两剂免疫,免疫时间为0、4周。在首次免疫后4、8、12周时家兔血清中抗芽胞IgG几何平均滴度分别为362、776和388。各时间点采集的家兔血清未能测出或只测出极微量的抗炭疽毒素IgG。通过上述研究认为,以裂解炭疽芽胞抗原作为炭疽疫苗成分之一,其抗原性和免疫原性是适宜的;免疫剂量可以设定为2.5×108芽胞浓度上下;免疫次数可定为2剂间隔1个月。  相似文献

An immunogold assay (IGA) was developed to detect IgG and IgE antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Sixteen sera from patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), aspergilloma, and normal controls were studied. All sera were also evaluated for antibodies against A. fumigatus by biotin-avidin linked enzyme immunosorbent assay (BALISA) and by agar gel double diffusion method. A. fumigatus specific IgG and IgE antibodies could be detected by IGA in all the patients' sera but not in the sera of normal controls. Both IgG and IgE antibodies to A. fumigatus could be demonstrated in all the sera by BALISA and normal controls showed only low levels of these antibodies. There was a positive correlation between the degree of reactivity detected by IGA, the BALISA titer and the precipitins by agar gel diffusion. It can be concluded that IGA is a reliable, sensitive and simple method capable of detecting both IgG and IgE antibodies against A. fumigatus in patient serum.  相似文献

The authors studied the influence of the blood sera of 23 patients suffering from rheumatism on blast-transformation of lymphocytes obtained from healthy persons, in mixed cultures: 4 sera stimulated it, 5--depressed, and 14 produced no effect. Among patients whose sera depressed the blast-transformation persons with a more severe cardiovascular insufficiency prevailed. The content of IgG, IgM and alpha2-globulins in these sera was greater.  相似文献

The subclass distribution of human IgG rheumatoid factor   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The subclass distribution of IgG rheumatoid factor (RF) was determined by a sensitive ELISA assay in sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from normal controls. In both instances, the most important subclasses were IgG1 and IgG4. The IgG4 RF was directed against the Fc region of IgG, and recognized human as well as rabbit IgG. Although human IgG4 myeloma proteins bound to rabbit IgG better than did myelomas of other IgG subclasses, the IgG4 RF activity in rheumatoid sera showed an additional specificity, because the fraction of IgG4 RF/total IgG4 for rheumatoid arthritis sera was far greater than for myelomas. This inference was supported by the observation that there was persistent, albeit diminished, IgG RF activity in pepsin-digested, RF-containing sera (but not myeloma proteins), indicating that a critical component of IgG4 RF activity was contained within the Fab region of the IgG4 molecule. The finding of large quantities of IgG4 RF was not due to a bias of the assay, because the preponderance of IgG4 did not extend to the subclass distribution of antibodies directed against other antigens. The demonstration of an important role for IgG4 as a RF is of special interest because of the relative inability of this subclass to fix complement or to bind to Fc receptors, and because of its potential role as a mediator of increased vascular permeability.  相似文献

The specificity of oligoclonal IgG in sera from chronic relapsing EAE guinea pigs was determined by using imprint electroimmunofixation. The response of oligoclonal IgG to spinal cord and Mycobacterium tuberculosis appeared to be equal in animals sacrificed during first remission and in those sacrificed after recovery from acute EAE. In contrast, in animals sacrificed during or after the first relapse, the oligoclonal IgG seems to be directed predominantly against spinal cord. In imprint electroimmunofixation, the oligoclonal IgG specific to spinal cord did not react with guinea pig liver and kidney. In addition, activity to spinal cord could be removed from sera by absorption with spinal cord but not with kidney or liver.  相似文献

比较Hitrap A蛋白琼脂糖凝胶亲和色谱系统,对不同动物血清或抗血清抗体的纯化效率,提供选择抗体纯化方法的依据。该方法简使快速,纯化的抗体纯度高,能较好地保持抗体免疫学活性。色谱柱反复使用40多次,纯化抗体效率不变。但A蛋白对不同动物血清的IgG吸附能力不同,对兔和豚鼠的血清抗体吸附能力强,而对小鼠、山羊和驴的血清抗体吸附能力较弱。说明虽然该方法纯化的抗体纯度高,但它对动物品种有选择。因此,应根据动物品种,选择适合的纯化方法。  相似文献

Usefulness of IgG4 subclass antibodies for diagnosis of human clonorchiasis   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
The present study analyzed serum IgG subclass antibody reaction to major antigenic bands of Clonorchis sinensis to investigate improvement of its serodiagnosis. Of the four subclass antibodies, IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies were produced but not specific, IgG3 antibody was least produced, and IgG4 antibody was prominent and specific. The serum IgG antibody reaction to any of 43-50, 34-37, 26-28, and 8 kDa bands was found in 65.5% of 168 egg positive cases while IgG4 antibody reaction was found in 22.0% of them. The positive rates of IgG and IgG4 antibodies were directly correlated with the intensity of infection. All of the sera from heavily infected cases over EPG 5,000 showed positive reaction for specific IgG and IgG4 antibodies. The specific serum IgG4 antibody disappeared within 6 months after treatment. The bands of 35 kDa and 67 kDa cross-reacted with IgG antibodies but not with IgG4 antibodies in sera of other trematode infections. The present findings suggest that serum IgG4 antibody reaction to 8 kDa band is specific but not sensitive. Any method to increase its sensitivity is required for improved serodiagnosis.  相似文献

The spleen cells, thymocytes, and bone marrow cells of autoimmune MRL/MP-lpr/lpr (MRL/lpr) mice do not constitutively produce interleukin 3 (IL-3), but these mice had IL-3-like activity in their sera. MRL/lpr sera supported the growth of the IL-3-dependent cell lines FDC-P2 and DA-1 but not the growth of IL-2-dependent T-572 cells. This IL-3-like activity increased with age. Biochemical analysis of the MRL/lpr sera by anion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration on a Superose 12 column, the binding to protein-A and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the serum factor with the IL-3-like activity was not IL-3 itself but was associated with IgG. Flow cytometric analysis also showed that the serum level of the Ig capable of binding FDC-P2 cells was high in MRL/lpr but not in MRL/+ mice. We suggest that IL-3 is not responsible for lymphoid hyperplasia, contrary to a previous report; rather auto-antibodies directed toward the IL-3 receptor may act pathogenically in MRL/lpr mice.  相似文献

In these studies we describe the production of three mAb raised to an idiotype on an IgG anticasein antibody isolated from the serum of one IgA-deficient blood donor. These are IgM kappa and block the binding of casein Ag to anticasein antibody. Sera of unrelated IgA-deficient donors were tested for the presence of the idiotype; 15 of 56 IgA-deficient sera (25%) contain the anticasein idiotype, whereas 1 of 45 normal sera was positive. Anticasein antibodies as a whole were predominantly of the IgG1 and IgG3 subclass; idiotype-positive anticaseins are predominantly of the IgG1 subclass. For IgA-deficient donors, the relative amount of idiotype-positive anticasein antibody was correlated with the level of anticasein present in the serum. Studies were done to investigate the potential inheritance of the idiotype in families; in three of four families the idiotype was inherited in an apparent autosomal dominant pattern. Our data show that a common cross-reactive idiotype can be detected in the sera of IgA-deficient individuals and their family members. This suggests that V region markers may be conserved in this humoral immunodeficiency disease.  相似文献

(1) An antiglobulin factor, non-neutralizable by human gamma-globulin, was demonstrated in sera of two patients with liver disease. (2) By absorption and elution techniques, two fractions were differentiated in a serum: one is reactive to rabbit antibody and the other seems cross-reactive to rabbit and human antibodies. (3) In double immunodiffusion test, the antiglobulin factor formed a precipitation band with heat-aggregated human IgG as did rheumatoid arthritis serum. (4) While the antiglobulin activity to rabbit antibody was demonstrated in both the IgM and IgG fractions, the reactivity to human antibody was localized in the IgM fraction. (5) From its selective reactivity to individual anti-D sera (sensitizers), at least a part of the specificity of the antiglobulin factor must be related to anti-Gm (1), and consequently can be regarded as auto-reactive.  相似文献

Asymmetrically glycosylated IgG isolated from non-immune human sera   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
When human IgG or its F(ab')2 fragment purified from a pool of non-immune sera was passed through a Con A-Sepharose column, 12% of the molecules bound to concanavalin A. While 44% of Fab' and 72% of Fd' fragments obtained from F(ab')2 retained by concanavalin A and eluted with methyl alpha-D-mannoside bound to concanavalin A, the Fab' and Fd' fragments obtained from non-retained F(ab')2 and the L chains and Fc fragments did not interact with the lectin. Only Fd' fragment obtained from the F(ab')2 retained by concanavalin A inhibited the fixation of guinea-pig erythrocytes to concanavalin A. These results are similar to those previously observed for IgG antibodies of different animal species and indicate that partial asymmetric glycosylation is a general phenomenon that is not restricted exclusively to IgG molecules with known specificity.  相似文献
