[Antibody production in the blood of donors immunized with staphylococcal anatoxin]. 1998

H M Dyzyk, and I S Shumeha, and A O Tarasenko, and V V Patoka

Blood serum content was studied of specific antistaphylococcal antibodies (staphylolysins) in 576 donors immunized with staphylococcal anatoxin with the purpose of obtaining an antistaphylococcal plasma and antistaphylococcal immunoglobulin to be used in clinical settings. 292 donors had been immunized and examined prior to 1986, 284--after 1986 (before 1994). Comparison of the immune responses in the above periods of time permitted finding out that 13.03% of immunized donors responded to the antigenic stimulus by such paradoxical reaction as disappearance of specific antibodies; the number of persons-active respondents has gotten reduced from 17.12% to 5.98% as has the number of individuals having the baseline level of staphylolysins (1-2 ME/ml). The changes were at their greatest in donors with group A (II) blood.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007114	Immunization	Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D010641	Phenotype	The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.	Phenotypes

D004731	Endotoxins	Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells.	Endotoxin
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000017	ABO Blood-Group System	The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

D000907	Antibodies, Bacterial	Immunoglobulins produced in a response to BACTERIAL ANTIGENS.	Bacterial Antibodies
D000918	Antibody Specificity	The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site.	Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D013208	Staphylococcal Toxoid		Toxoid, Staphylococcal
D013210	Staphylococcus	A genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, coccoid bacteria. Its organisms occur singly, in pairs, and in tetrads and characteristically divide in more than one plane to form irregular clusters. Natural populations of Staphylococcus are found on the skin and mucous membranes of warm-blooded animals. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals.
