ABSTRACT
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is prevalent in Southeast Asia, especially in the area of southern China. It is acknowl-edged that NPC is absolutely related to EBV infection. Nevertheless, there are just a few researches about the relationship between the level of EBV antibodies and the tumor stages and it hasn't come to conclusion. This review makes a summary on present research progress and would be valuable for the better understanding of the contribution of EBV antibodies to the tumor stages in NPC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the significance of the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after kidney transplantation. Methods The serum CMV antibody(anti CMV) and CMV DAN of 72 recipients before and after transplantation were detected respectively by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Results The levels of serum CMV antibody and CMV DNA of 72 recipients after transplantation were significantly higher than those of pre operation( P
ABSTRACT
0.05); serum HBsAb levels of pregnant mice and neonatal mice in group with CpG-1826 (20 ?g)+hepatitis B vaccine significantly higher than those in group with CpG-1826 (10 ?g, 40 ?g)+ hepatitis B vaccine,hepatitis B vaccine and control respectively(P0.05).Conclusions Combination injection of CpG-1826 20 ?g and hepatitis B vaccine can markedly increase serum antibody levels of pregnant mice and neonatal mice, but don′t affect the survival quantity, the growth and development of neonatal mice.CpG-1826 is an ideal immune adjuvant for neonates with immature immune system during pregnancy.
