Hepatitis A virus (HAV, Hep A) causes inflammation of the liver that is spread from person to person. Learn about symptoms, treatment, vaccines, and when to see a doctor.
E2 in particular contains a hypervariable region (HVR-1) which undergoes an extremely high mutation rate and, because antibody epitopes are found within this region, it is believed that the mutations provide a mechanism for HCV to escape antibody responses involved in controlling virus infection. ...
Nonreactive (negative). This means you're not currently infected with hep C. If you think you've been exposed within the last 6 months, you will need to be tested again to make sure because it can take a while for your antibody levels to rise high enough to be detected on a test....

Lewis(a) antigenLewis(x) antigenimmunisationStaphylococcus aureusInfants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection were shown to have antibodies against HEp-2 cell antigen present in RSV-antigen preparation used for immunoblot analysis. The prevalence of anti HEp-2 cell antibodies was examined ...
Hepatitis C infection is diagnosed with several blood tests. The hepatitis C antibody test checks for antibodies (immune particles) that fight the virus. A "non-reactive" result means that antibodies to the virus are not detected. A "reactive" result means antibodies to the virus are present,...
Foreign double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a by-prod- uct of viral RNA polymerases during virus replication, binds PKR, facilitating the homo-dimerization and auto- phosphorylation at Thr451 and Thr446 and thereby the activation of PKR [2, 3]. The activated PKR, known as a Correspondence: ...
The redox state of TRX1 was detected by western blotting with anti-TRX1 antibody. (C) Isolated mitochondria were pre-incubated with 4 µg/ml oxidized rTRX1, then As2O3 was added at the indicated time (200 s). Trace a, Control (CaCl2 added at 1 800 s); Trace b, 40 µM As2O...
From a molecular point of view, certain self-molecules are targeted, as if they are non-self, by autoreactive cells, autoantibodies (autoAbs), or other factors, which subse- quently leads to damage of the tissue where the autoanti- gens (autoAgs) reside. Among the hundreds of thousands ...
