Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) levelcan be measured to determine if vaccination is needed. Following a vaccination regimen, anti-HBs can be measured to determine if protective immunity has been achieved. What is a titer test? An antibody titer testmeasures the amount of a specific type...
Before the onset of liver injury, the patient was negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) but positive for hepatitis B surface antibody. She subsequently developed liver injury, with the reappearance of HBsAg and HBV DNA. The patient was successfully treated with tenofovir alafenamide, and...
Rabbit anti-b-tubulin antibody (#2146) was purchased from CST Japan K.K. (Chiba, Japan). The concentration used in immunofluorescence staining and Western blot analysis was in accordance with the recommended protocol for each antibody. Oil-red O staining Cultured cells were washed with PBS and...
DTaP-IPV-Hep B-Hib vaccine (Hexaxim®): a review of its use in primary and booster vaccination. Paediatr Drugs. 2013;15(1):59–70. 5. Madhi SA, Lopez P, Zambrano B, et al. Antibody persistence in pre- school children after hexavalent vaccine infant primary and...
The benign course of B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1, formerly called herpesvirus simiae) infection in macaques compared with the virulence of the same virus for humans is a clear example. In general, there is a tendency for low virulence to be seen with a virus that has been long ...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most widely spread viral diseases and strongly associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism of HBV-mediated HCC development is not clearly elucidated. Although it has been shown that HBx, the protein enco...
Figure 6. Micrograph showing criteria of apoptosis in Hep-2 cells treated with increasing concentrations of propolis (half IC50 of propolis (a), IC50 of propolis (b), double IC50 of propolis (c)) or propolis encapsulated-liposome (half IC50 of propolis-encapsulated liposome (d), IC50 of prop...
(African green monkey) cells has a truncated attachment G glycoprotein as compared to that grown in HEp-2 cells. We hypothesized that the virus grown in HEp-2 cells would cause more severe clinical symptoms and cause more severe pathology. To confirm the hypothesis, lambs were inoculated ...
The rate of the viral inhibition was estimated as follows: [(A − B)/(C − B)] Ã 100%, where A, B, and C indicate the absorbance of the USeNPs with virus-infected cells, the virus control absorbance, and the cell control absorbance, respectively. 2.6. Determination DPPH Radical...
In addition, SDF-1 binding to heparan sulphate proteoglycan (HSPG) type cell surface receptors is a prerequisite to it promoting activity of tissue emigration of cells [30]. Further, the importance of HMGB1 in cell migration in vivo was shown in the study by Oyama and others, where decreased...
