TL;DR: Human milk inhibited the attachment of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae to human pharyngeal or buccal epithelial cells and infant formulas and cow and buffalo milk showed a lower inhibitory activity against pneumococci and enhanced the adhesion of H. Influenzae.
Abstract: Human milk inhibited the attachment of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae to human pharyngeal or buccal epithelial cells. Infant formulas and cow and buffalo milk showed a lower inhibitory activity against pneumococci and enhanced the adhesion of H. influenzae. The antiadhesive effect against S. pneumoniae was found in both the high- and the low-molecular-weight fractions of milk. The inhibitory activity in the high-molecular-weight fraction was independent of specific antibody content; it was present after immunoadsorption and in the milk from IgA-deficient women. The inhibitory activity in the low-molecular-weight fraction was in part explained by the content of oligosaccharides corresponding to the carbohydrate moieties of the neolactoseries of glycolipids, which have previously been shown to act as receptors for attaching pneumococci. The antiadhesive activity against H. influenzae was restricted to the high-molecular-weight fraction of the milk and was unaffected by immunoadsorption. Milk may protect against otitis by reducing colonization.
TL;DR: Investigating the hemodynamic effects of immunoadsorption and subsequent immunoglobulin G (IgG) substitution in comparison with the effects of conventional medical treatment in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy found it to improve cardiovascular function in DCM.
TL;DR: Antibodies to bovine type I and type III collagen and their precursor form procollagen were produced in rabbits and rendered specific for the immunizing antigen by immunoadsorption showed distinct immunofluorescence staining on frozen sections of both bovines and human connective tissue at concentrations as low as 1-10 mug/ml.
TL;DR: Observations indicate that the extracellular domain of Dsg1 expressed by baculovirus is capable of specifically immunoadsorbing pathogenic autoantibodies from PF patients' sera and provide direct evidence that the anti-Dsg1 autoantsibodies in PF sera are indeed pathogenic.
TL;DR: Human allotransplantation of renal allografts into recipients with circulating anti‐HLA antibodies results in hyperacute rejection, but in some cases, antibodies return without causing harm; this phenomenon has been termed ‘accommodation’.
