Immunoglobulin A (IgA): molecular and cellular interactions involved in IgA biosynthesis and immune response.

TL;DR: The impact of new information concerning IgA physiology on the immune system is discussed, which suggests that IgA should not be considered only as an isotype providing specific humoral protection of mucosal surfaces but as an integral component of the entire immune system.

Reverse ELISPOT assay for clonal analysis of cytokine production. I. Enumeration of gamma-interferon-secreting cells.

TL;DR: A reverse modification of ELISPOT assay using nitrocellulose membranes and epitope-specific monoclonal antibodies is described for the detection of single lymphokine-secreting cells.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

TL;DR: Solid-phase immunoassays and ELISA have technically simplified antigen quantitation and antibody detection and are the basis for most modern immunodiagnostic tests for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis, allergies, and many other human and animal diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct access to CD4 + T cells specific for defined antigens according to CD154 expression

TL;DR: The approach allows assessment of TH cells with a defined specificity for the combined quantitative and qualitative analysis of TH-cell immunity as well as for the isolation of specific TH cells for targeted cellular immunotherapies.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Plaque Formation in Agar by Single Antibody-Producing Cells

TL;DR: Distinct plaques, each of which is due to the release of hemolysin by a single antibody-forming cell, are revealed by complement after incubation, in an agar layer, of a mixture of Sheep red cells and lymphoid cells from a rabbit immunized with sheep red cells.

Immunization of dissociated spleen cell cultures from normal mice

TL;DR: There is an increase in the ability to discriminate between different varieties of homologous erythrocytes and the in vitro response does not appear to be limited by whatever mechanisms regulate the in vivo response.

A Modification of the Hemolytic Plaque Assay for Use with Protein Antigens

TL;DR: The method is simple and sensitive and the results mimic the kinetics of the response that is seen in in vivo assays of serum antibody.

Use of antibody-coated red cells for the sensitive detection of antigen and in rosette tests for cells bearing surface immunoglobulins.

TL;DR: The chromic chloride method, which is applicable to whole Ig fractions as well as affinity-purified antibodies, is reproducible and has a sensitivity for detection of antigen in the nanogram range.
