Histocompatibility types and antiviral antibodies in a diverse group of individuals
Abstract:
A study was made of the possible relationship between histocompatibility (HLA) antigens of the A and B loci and antibodies to cytomegalovirus, influenza A (victoria strain), measles, rotavirus, vaccinia, and varicella/zoster. A large and diverse group of unselected individuals was studied. A possible relationship was detected between the presence of the antigen B15 and a lack of circulating measles antibodies. The study group was divided into three sections: (a) healthy individuals, (b) "renal disease" patients awaiting renal transplantation, and (c) patients with various types of "other disease," mainly of an immunological nature. Significantly elevated titers to cytomegalovirus and varicella/zoster were found in the two diseased groups, but these elevated titers could not be linked with the presence or absence of any particular HLA A or B antigen.

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...
