The class of antihapten antibody produced to TNP determinants was influenced by the degree of TNP haptenation of the carrier BSA Midrange molar ratios of TNP produced the strongest IgM IgG1 and IgG2 antiTNP responses compared with all other groups

menaquinone of anti-hapten antibody produced to TNP determinants was influenced by the degree of TNP haptenation of the carrier BSA. Mid-range molar ratios of TNP produced the strongest IgM, IgG1 and IgG2 anti-TNP responses compared with all other groups (P less than 0.01).the first dose of varicella vaccination to before entering elementary school in antibody titers and seroprotection status from before the first dose of vaccination to before 7 years old entering elementary school in children who received the routine two-dose varicella vaccination. METHODS: Participants were 37 healthy children who received the routine two-dose varicella vaccination at our hospital. seebio vitamin K2 of five serum samples per child were collected immediately before and 4-6 weeks after each dose of the vaccination and in the year before entry to elementary school.

We measured anti-VZV antibody titers by immune adherence hemagglutination (IAHA) method and glycoprotein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA). A positive antibody titer and the seroprotection level were set as ≥2-fold and ≥16-fold, respectively, for IAHA antibody and as ≥50 units and ≥105 units, respectively, for gpELISA-IgG antibody. RESULTS: The rates of IAHA antibody positivity in the five samples (in order of collection) were 0%, 65%, 38%, 100%, and 59%, and the rates of seroprotection were 0%, 43%, 8%, 100%, and 43%. The rates of gpELISA-IgG antibody positivity were 8%, 81%, 89%, 100%, and 100%, and the rates of seroprotection were 5%, 54%, 70%, 100%, and 89%. The mean IAHA antibody titer and mean gpELISA-IgG antibody titer before entering elementary school were both lower than the respective titers obtained after the second vaccination (both p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Routine two-dose varicella vaccination leads to good antibody production, but titers of acquired antibodies decrease before children enter elementary school.

These Ab2s (NUH31, 44, 51, 71, 82 and 91) demonstrated specificity for the combining site of Ab1, and appeared to recognize 2 partly overlapping idiotopes on Ab1. In this study, we further characterize the fine specificity of the Ab2, investigate whether the immunogenicity of Ab2 could be enhanced by conjugation to a carrier and investigate the anti-tumor efficacy of Ab3 sera in mice challenged with RCC. Immunization of animals with Ab2 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin as carrier protein resulted in a 2-fold increase in antigen-specific anti-anti-idiotype antibodies (Ab3) as compared with immunization using Ab2 alone.

Specific reactivity was observed with antigen-positive cell lysates, and all Ab3 sera contained immunoglobulin resembling Ab1 (Ab1'), as shown by competitive Ab1-antigen binding assays. Fine-specificity studies of Ab3 sera revealed that the Ab2s can be divided into 4 mutually exclusive groups, showing that the 6 Ab2s recognize 4 slightly different idiotopes in the Ab1 binding pocket. Treatment of RCC-challenged mice with Ab3 sera resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition and lower tumor take rates as compared with control groups. Ab3 sera obtained from NUH-91-immunized animals showed superior characteristics as compared to the other Ab3 sera: no tumors remained after 5 weeks of Ab3-NUH91 treatment. Our findings indicate that the Ab2 elicit powerful anti-tumor effects in immune-competent animals.and the immuno-response to measles vaccine among 4 to 7 month olds].city-Shandong was selected for the study of antibody level against measles by maternal-fetal transfer and immuno-response to measles vaccine in October of 1993.

The results showed that the negative rates of maternal-fetal antibody among infants of 4, 5, 6 and 7 month olds were 75.00%, 81.25%, 94.87% and 90.1%, respectively. The positive rates and geometric mean titers (GMTs) for immuno-response to measles vaccine were 92.86%, 84.
