direct ELISA: 1:40,000 immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections): 1:25 western blot: 1:50,000-1:100,000 using total cell extract of HeLa cells
Pigs single inoculated with Ascaris suum eggs expel the majority of larvae between days 14 and 21 post inoculation (p.i.), but the role of the immune system in expulsion is unclear. To investigate the dynamics of immune responses before, during
European journal of immunology, 21(9), 2087-2094 (1991-09-01)
The immune response to cholera toxin B subunit given orally was studied in 13 human volunteers. A serum IgG and IgA antitoxin response was observed, which was boosted by a second immunization. Using an immunospot assay, cells spontaneously secreting anti-toxin
Effective immunotherapies activate natural antitumor immune responses in patients undergoing treatment. The ability to monitor immune activation in response to immunotherapy is critical in measuring treatment efficacy over time and across patient cohorts. Protein arrays are systematically arranged, large collections
Vaccination is at present the most efficient way of preventing influenza infections. Currently used inactivated influenza vaccines can induce virus-neutralizing antibodies that are protective against a particular influenza strain, but hamper the induction of cross-protective T-cell responses to later infections.
Since the demonstration of nicotine vaccines as a possible therapeutic intervention for the effects of tobacco smoke, extensive effort has been made to enhance nicotine specific immunity. Linker modifications of nicotine haptens have been a focal point for improving the
ELISpot assay provides qualitative and quantitative information on immune responses, visualizing multiple secretory products from single responding cells.
