What is antiencephalopathic?
Anti-encephalopathy is a very rare autoimmune disease. This is basically a condition where you have high titers of anti-thyroid antibodies.
What causes high aso titers?
Inflammation.
What is High Titer Low Avidity?
HTLA ANTIBODIES = High Titer Low AvidityA summary of these antibodies are as follows Not clinically significant, but serological reactions make them look like they areHigh Titer if the antibodies are titered. The titers are usually at least 1:64 and often will be over 1:1000Reactions are very weak and will break apart very readily due to the weak attraction between the antigens and antibodies (low avidity).These antibodies basically have a high titer but a very weak reaction. Some institutions actually score the strength of the antigen reaction in points which will allow them to differentiate some of the differences seen in various reactions.Score = strength of reaction given points or score4+ = 12 points3+ = 10 points2+ = 8 points1+ = 5 pointsneg = 0 pointsSpecific serologic characteristics of the HTLA antibodies are:IgGReact best in Coombs after 37oC incubationW+ to 1+ reactionsReact with most cells (antibodies to high-frequency antigens)Not clinically significant since they are not known to cause hemolytic disease of the newborn or hemolytic transfusion reactions. Since they are antibodies to high-frequency antigens they may mask clinically significant antibodies that are also in the serum.
How is antisera made?
Antisera is produced by injecting an animal (such as horses, rabbits, or goats) with specific antigens. The animal's immune system responds by producing antibodies against those antigens. The blood containing the desired antibodies is then collected and processed to obtain antisera, which contains a high concentration of specific antibodies for use in diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
Can monoclonal antibodies be specific for multiple antigenic determinants?
Yes, monoclonal antibodies can be specific for multiple antigenic determinants if those determinants share similar structural features that allow the antibody to bind to them. This property is known as cross-reactivity. However, some monoclonal antibodies are designed to target a single specific antigenic determinant to ensure high specificity in diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
What does high level of epstein barr antibodies mean?
Depending on which test was done, a high level of Epstein barr antibodies could mean current or prior infection with Epstein barr virus. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to the test you had done.
Can I get a Blood test for food allergies?
Yes. You can take a simple blood test to identify,elevated antibodies to food allergens and delayed food sensitivities (IgG).The ALCAT Test also differs from standard IgG tests in that they rely exclusively on one immune pathway, serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG). In fact, high food specific IgG titers are indicative only of exposure, not necessarily intolerance.
How do you obtain passive immunity?
Passive immunity is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of readymade antibodies, from one individual to another. Passiveimmunity can occur naturally, when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta, and can also be induced artificially, when high levels of human (or horse) antibodies specific for a pathogen or toxin are transferred to non-immune individuals. Passive immunization is used when there is a high risk of infection and insufficient time for the body to develop its own immune response, or to reduce the symptoms of ongoing or immunosuppressive diseases.
What is the significance of pan antibodies in autoimmune diseases?
Pan antibodies, also known as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), are significant in autoimmune diseases because they target the body's own cells and tissues. When present in high levels, they can indicate the presence of an autoimmune disorder, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Monitoring pan antibodies can help in diagnosing and managing these conditions.
Proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions in the cell without requiring high temperatures are antibodies?
Enzymes (Are all proteins, but not all proteins are enzymes.)
What happens to the amount of antibodies in the body after the virus has been destroyed?
They decrease in numbers but still stay at a high rate
What does high transglutaminase mean?
Antibodies against tissue transglutamase is a sign of Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance.
