Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry01:22

Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry

11.1K
Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are techniques that use antibodies to check for specific proteins or antigens in a sample. The technique was first published by Albert Coons in 1941 to detect the presence of pneumococcal antigen in tissue sections from mice infected with Pneumococcus. Immunocytochemistry helps localization of proteins or antigens in individual cells like blood cells, stem cells, etc., while immunohistochemistry does the same for tissue samples.

Development of Immunocompetence

1.2K
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immune-Complex Reactions

247
Type III hypersensitivity reactions occur when antigen–antibody complexes form and activate the complement system. Normally, these complexes help the clearance of antigens by phagocytes and red blood cells. However, when large numbers of immune complexes are present, they can deposit in tissues—particularly in the walls of blood vessels—leading to inflammation and tissue injury. These deposits trigger complement activation and neutrophil recruitment, resulting in serum...

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules01:31

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules

3.3K
Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.3K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

12.3K
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Area of Science:

  • Vaccinology
  • Immunology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Traditional vaccines often use whole organisms (killed or live attenuated), which contain irrelevant or harmful components.
  • Antigen-based vaccines have faced challenges due to poor immunogenicity and the need for high adjuvant doses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs) as an alternative vaccine vehicle.
  • To demonstrate the potential of ISCOMs to enhance immune responses using minimal adjuvant concentrations.

Main Methods:

  • ISCOMs were formulated using the adjuvant Quil A and immunizing peptides.
  • The immunogenicity of ISCOM particles was assessed.

Main Results:

  • ISCOM particles incorporate low concentrations of the adjuvant Quil A.
  • ISCOMs demonstrated a significant enhancement of immunogenicity.

Conclusions:

  • ISCOMs represent a promising alternative vaccine platform.
  • Further research may establish ISCOMs as a key component in future vaccination strategies.
