NY-BR-1 protein expression in breast carcinoma: a mammary gland differentiation antigen as target for cancer immunotherapy (Publications)
NY-BR-1 is a recently identified differentiation antigen of the mammary gland. To use NY-BR-1 for T-cell-based immunotherapy, analysis of its co-expression with HLA class I antigens is required. In th
Anthrax spore detection by a Luminex assay based on monoclonal antibodies recognizing anthrose-containing oligosaccharides (Publications)
The similarity of endospore surface antigens between bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group complicates the development of selective antibody-based anthrax detection systems. The surface of B. anthraci
Studies on <em>Dipetalonema viteae</em> (Filarioidea). 4. Passive transfer of immunity to circulating microfilariae by spleen cells (Publications)
Passive transfer experiments provided clear evidence for a role of spleen cells in the immunity of hamsters against Dipetalonema viteae microfilariae. 106 or more spleen cells from postpatent (amicrof
Exposure to a farming environment has allergen-specific protective effects on T(H)2-dependent isotype switching in response to common inhalants (Publications)
BACKGROUND: IgE synthesis by human B cells results from allergen-dependent, T(H)2-mediated isotype switching. Exposure to a farming environment protects against IgE responses. OBJECTIVE: We reconstruc
