You are pregnant and had a blood test which came back positive with rubeola antibodies what does this mean?

Typically a pregnant woman gets tested for immunity to rubella (rubella IgG antibodies), and a positive test means she has adequate protection against rubella, which can cause birth defects.

How do glutathione help in lymphocytes multiplication?

Glutathione does indeed promote "lymphocytes multiplication", or as it is known in the medical world, monoclonal expansion of lymphocytes, or white blood cells.

Your lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell in the human immune system that play an important role in our body's defenses. Lymphocytes are needed in large numbers to fight off foreign invaders that attack your body, which include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites to name a few.

Lymphocytes are limited in their replication, monoclonal expansion, or multiplication by the amount of glutathione that is available to them. Glutathione enhances the activity of the immune cells, and also functions as an antioxidant within them. Glutathione has properly been referred to as "food for your immune system."

With low glutathione, you have low amounts of lymphocytes. With high glutathione levels, you have high numbers of lymphocytes.

What this means is that with high glutathione levels, your immune system will be able to function at an optimal level- which means you will be healthy!

Capture and detection antibodies must recognise two non-overlapping apitopes in order to work. Once the detection antibody is bound, the capture antibody cannot obscure the epitope used by the detection antibody in any way, or the sandwich ELISA will not work.
