Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic and Therapeutic Efficacy of Human Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Treating West Nile Virus Infection in Mice
TL;DR: Results indicate that antibodies play a major role in protection and recovery from WNV infection and that IVIG can be used as first-line therapy.
Journal Article
Mechanism of Immunologic Resistance to Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) Infection
TL;DR: The results indicate that protection against this virus infection is predominantly T cell dependent, and suggests that antibody-dependent cell-mediated protection may also be operative in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
NKp44 Receptor Mediates Interaction of the Envelope Glycoproteins from the West Nile and Dengue Viruses with NK Cells
Oren Hershkovitz,Benyamin Rosental,Lior Rosenberg,Martha Erika Navarro-Sanchez,Sergey Jivov,Alon Zilka,Orly Gershoni-Yahalom,Elodie Brient-Litzler,Hugues Bedouelle,Joanna W. Ho,Kerry S. Campbell,Bracha Rager-Zisman,Philippe Desprès,Angel Porgador +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the NK-activating receptor NKp44 is involved in virally mediated NK activation through direct interaction with the flavivirus envelope protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using high titer West Nile intravenous immunoglobulin from selected Israeli donors for treatment of West Nile virus infection
D. Ben-Nathan,Orly Gershoni-Yahalom,Itzchak Samina,Yevgeny Khinich,Israel Nur,Orgad Laub,Ahuva Gottreich,Michael Simanov,Angel Porgador,Bracha Rager-Zisman,Nadav Orr +10 more
TL;DR: IVIG produced from selected plasma donated in WNV endemic regions can be used to produce WNV IVIG with superior activity for therapeutic and prophylactic measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunization on the immune responses of previously immunized primary school children.

TL;DR: Re reimmunization was accompanied by decreased leukocytes counts, but leukocyte function was unchanged or improved, and functional assays showed improved lymphoproliferation in response to stimulation with phytohemagglutinin and tetanus toxoid and stable NK lytic activity.
