Example Sentences:

  • (1) This effect appeared to be related to dose, and was clearly demonstrable with antibody-forming spleen cells from mice that had been immunized either with sheep red blood cells or with penicillin G conjugated with Keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
  • (2) The control, uninfected rats make vigorous primary and secondary antibody responses when challenged with keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH), human immunoglobulin (HuIg) or sheep red blood cells (SRBC).
  • (3) BDF1 mice were immunized with a protein antigen, such as ovalbumin (OA) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), absorbed to aluminum hydroxide gel, and their spleen cells were stimulated by homologous antigen for the formation of glycosylation-enhancing factor (GEF).
  • (4) The antibody responses of animals immunised with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) in Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant (FIA), diethylaminoethyl dextran (DEAE-dextran) and aluminium hydroxide (alum) were compared with the response to antigen administered in the absence of adjuvants.
  • (5) In addition to this HIV-specific B cell activation, the number of lymphocytes reactive with nonviral antigens such as DNA, myosin, actin, trinitrophenylated keyhole limpet hemocyanin, and ovalbumin was increased by a mean of 17.9-fold.
  • (6) Synthetic 131-149 and 140-149 sequences afforded 50 to 80% protection, both in the free state and conjugated with keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
  • (7) Feeding mice with OA or keyhole limpet haemocyanin in liposomes in a series of priming and boosting regimes failed to elicit any significant increase in serum or intestinal antibody response compared with feeding the free antigen.
  • (8) A tetrodotoxin-formaldehyde-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate was used to immunize a rabbit for the production of anti-toxin antiserum.
  • (9) A panel of syngeneic monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies was prepared by immunizing A.SW mice with keyhole limpet hemocyanin-coupled A.SW monoclonal anti-myoglobin (HAL 19, IgG1) and screening the cloned hybridomas for production of IgG2 binding to idiotype but not to certain other anti-myoglobin antibodies of the same subclass in an ELISA.
  • (10) In admixture experiments, spleen cells from microfilaremic animals suppressed the proliferative responsiveness of cells from keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-immunized jirds to KLH by 38%, but had no effect on KLH-specific antibody production.
  • (11) B cells from these mice were transferred to irradiated recipients with T cells from keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-primed mice.
  • (12) In the absence of exogenous oleic acid (18:1), splenocytes responded to a T-dependent (TD) Ag (trinitrophenyl-keyhole limpet hemocyanin, TNP-KLH) at 37 degrees C but not at 27 degrees C. The addition of 150 microM 18:1 almost completely restored plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses to TNP-KLH at 27 degrees C but markedly suppressed PFC responses to the TD Ag at 37 degrees C. 3.
  • (13) Studying cellular immunocompetence we investigated the skin reactivity to various recall antigens (Candida, Trichophytin, Mumpsantigen, Streptokinase-Streptodornase, PPD), the primary immune response to Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) and Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH), and the lymphocyte transformation induced by mitogens (Phytohemagglutinin, Concanavaline A, Pokeweed Mitogen) and specific antigens.
  • (14) The peptide-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugates were used to immunize rabbits.
  • (15) have reported that the keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific suppressor factor is coded for by the I-J subregion of the H-2 complex (11).
  • (16) It was found that 2-3% of splenic T cells from arsonate-immune mice specifically bound the hapten using immunofluorescent keyhole limpet hemocyanin as a carrier.
  • (17) However, in vivo depletion of L3T4+ or Lyt-2+ cells from 38C-Id-keyhole limpet hemocyanin-immunized mice resulted in diminished protection against a tumor challenge.
  • (18) A procedure is described for the in vitro enumeration of individual lymphoid cells producing antibody against Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) by a modification of the hemolytic plaque technique.
  • (19) Antibody to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) has been detected in normal unimmunized subjects by means of a sensitive micropassive hemagglutination technique.
  • (20) It was shown that these B cells secrete anti-trinitrophenyl antibodies of different isotypes only in the presence of Th2 cells specific for keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and the hapten-carrier conjugate TNP-KLH.
