    Keywords : Immunoglobulins; immunoglobulin-subclass distribution; hydralazine; ANCA; anti-:MPO; primary SjOgren s syndrome; hepatitis B vaccination; anti-HBssubclasses; immunoadsorption; plasmapheresis; antibodies; hepatitis C virus; transmission; recombinant immunoblot assay; hepatitis C genotype; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In this study we evaluated pathogenetic factors and possible mediators of renal and systemic disorders where immunologic mechanisms might be of importance.An abberant immunoglobulin and IgG-subclass distribution was detected in 103 patients with primary and secondary glomerulonephritis as well as in 38 patients with the systemic disease primary Sjögren 's syndrome or purpura hypergammaglobulinemica (elevated IgG1 and low IgG2 ).

  4. 2. Diagnosis of infection with Toxoplasma gondii in pregnant women, neonates and immunocompromised patients

    Author : Eskild Petersen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infection with Toxoplasma gondii poses unique diagnostic problems like long-term persistence of specific IgM-antibodies, which makes it difficult to use the presence of Toxoplasma-specific IgM-antibodies alone as a sign of acute infection. The importance of determining the time of infection in pregnant women is also a unique diagnostic challenge in Toxoplasma diagnostics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies of immune responses to cell surface proteins of Helicobacter pylori and Borrelia burgdorferi by enzyme immunoassay and immunoblotting

    Author : Ingrid Nilsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; B. burgdorferi; H.pylori; cell surface proteins; gel-electrophoresis; enzyme immunoassay; Western immunoblotting; bacteriology; Microbiology; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori and Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. can cause chronic infections by evading the immune system. These two human pathogens express a number of immunogenic cell surface proteins. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterisation of the conserved Helicobacter pyloriproteins AhpC and HpaA

    Author : Anneli Maria Lundström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Infection with Helicobacter pylori gives rise to gastritis and may cause duodenal and gastric ulcers and gastric carcinoma in humans. The infection may induce an immune response against different antigens, among them a 26 kDa protein (AhpC) and a 29 kDa protein (HpaA). Aims: The aims were to characterise the 26 kDa and 29 kDa H.
