When developing a vaccine against HIV, one of the most important factors is the antibody produced after the immunization. In order to produce an... Learn more about this topic: Antibodies | Definition, Functions, Types & Examples...
Routine testing usually involves only the Rh antigen. if an Rh-negative clinet receives Rh-positive blood, he or she will develop Rh antibodies, and future Rh-positive transfusions may cause a transfusion reaction. in pregnancy, antibodies from an Rh-negative mother may hemolyze fetal(erythrobla...

Islet-related-antibodies ICA, IAA, GADA and IA-2A were detected in 44 of the T1D children (at least one I-r-Abs), 2 children had no detectable I-r-Abs and in 4 cases I-r-Abs were not tested (Table 1). HLA typing We found HLA genetic susceptibility markers for T1D (DRB1*03/...
Transmission of HCV occurs via direct parenteral exposure to contaminated blood. HCV epidemiology has changed over the last two decades: transfusion-associated transmission has disappeared with the advent of serological tests based on the detection of antibodies or HCV RNA. At present, a history of ...
Keep in mind that while most blood tests are able to detect HIV infection within four weeks of initial exposure, it can sometimes take as long as three to six months for HIV antibodies to reach detectable levels. The CDC currently recommends testing six months after the last possible exposure...
