## Abstract Filarial IgM antibody response to various antigenic fractions isolated from immune complexes by SDS‐PAGE viz., IC‐2, IC‐4, IC‐7, and IC‐9, was studied by ELISA. The IgM antibody response to almost all antigenic fractions was seen more in microfilaraemic group compared to the clinical fi

Lymphatic filarial subjects with disease manifestations exhibit significantly elevated levels of immune complexes (ICs) in their circulation. The objective of the study was to explore the possible excretion of filariaspecific soluble ICs in urine of subjects with lymphatic filariasis. Paired urine (
## Abstract Eleven patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in the acute stage of the disease were studied. Sera of seven patients were assayed for complement‐dependent cytotoxicity to autochthonous AML cells and sera of four patients were tested with allogeneic target cells before and after
## Abstract Sarcoma‐specific cellular cytotoxicity was inhibited by sera from 14/16 patients with growing sarcomas, in comparison to only 1/8 patients with growing carcinomas and 4/14 sarcoma‐free patients. Of 11 completely inhibitory sarcoma sera, only two inhibited lung carcinoma‐specific cellula
The effect of acid pH treatment of circulating immune complexes (CIC) derived from tuberculosis sera was studied on the relative titers of specific antibody (CIC Ab) and mycobacterial antigen (CIC Ag) in the complexes. While the specific antibody titers increased, the titers of CIC Ag declined as a
## Abstract Cancer‐testis antigens (CTAs) are expressed mainly in various cancer tissues and in testis or placenta. Because of their restricted expression pattern, the CTAs can be potentially used for vaccine development and diagnostic applications. CTA CT16 has been found to be expressed in lung a
