listeriosis/알부민

The relationship of immune complex deposits and cell-mediated immunity to the occurrence of ocular and brain listeriosis following a low (0.007-0.03 LD50) intraperitoneal challenge was investigated in 68 Wistar rats with chronic experimental serum sickness and 68 normally resistant controls. The

The incidence and severity of central nervous system (CNS) infection were increased following the intraperitoneal innoculation of Listeria monocytogenes in adult Wistar rats with experimental chronic serum sickness. The results were attributed to an alteration in the blood-cerebrospinal fluid

A latex agglutination-based test for the rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods was developed. An antilisteriolysin O (LLO) monoclonal antibody (HID5E12D7; IgG_2b) covalently bound to polystyrene amidine-modified latex beads was used in a slide agglutination assay. The latex

We report a case of Listeria meningitis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The case is a 29-year-old female who was diagnosed as SLE on August, 1982, and had been followed since then. On May 25, 1993, she was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fever, head ache and vomiting

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Listeria monocytogenes infection alters the activity of cholinesterases in cattle to module their inflammatory response and neurotransmission. Thus, ten male bovines (Holstein) were divided into two groups of five animals each: uninfected (control) and

A total of 28,159 blood serum samples have been examined for brucellosis, 87--for leptospirosis, 84--for toxoplasmosis, 554--for the presence of rickettsii and neoreckettsii, and 193--for total protein content, albumin, and protein fractions, taken from cows in the course of the years on 40 dairy

Liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin (LEH) products are being investigated as potential blood substitutes. To determine if changes in LEH composition can modify the immune response, red blood cell substitutes based on conventional lipids containing phosphatidylinositol (LEH1) and sterically stabilized

BACKGROUND Fludarabine, a purine analogue with activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, is usually well tolerated. Although serious infections after fludarabine therapy have been described, a systematic analysis of the risk factors for such infections in chronic lymphocytic leukemia is

It has been hypothesized that diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) aggravate pulmonary bacterial infection by both innate and cell-mediated immune mechanisms. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of DEP exposure on the functions of alveolar macrophages (AMs) and lymphocytes from
