In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Impact of Immunoregulatory Pathways on HIV-specific CD4 T Cell Effector Function
Published on: October 16, 2013
Abstract:
The results of a study showing correlations between the behaviour of complement serum level, the presence of antigen Au, variations in serum immunoglobulin and the behaviour of transaminases in the cases of hepatitis examined are reported. It was found that the reduction in complement level during the initial stage of the disease coincides directly with antigenaemia positivity, increased IgM production, large increases in transaminase activity and inversion of the SGOT/SGPT ratio.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
