A systematic study has been conducted of the priming effect in the immunization against cholera toxin (CT'). We demonstrate that a priming phenomenon can be ghieved by synthetic peptides of the CT B subunit: leading-(after a subsequent booster with a subimmunizing dose of the intact toxin) to an eff
Specific antischistosomal IgG, IgM, and IgE were estimated by ELISA in 117 rural school students before specific treatment with praziquantel monthly for 3-4 months thereafter. IgG and IgM were estimated as percentage of bound antibodies. IgE was estimated by avidin-biotin ELISA (AB-ELISA) as IU/ml u
The lymphoproliferative blastogenic responses to mitogens, PHA and Con A, and to schistosome-derived antigens. S. mansoni worm and egg, were tested in 35 schistosomal patients and 10 healthy controls. Of the former group, 18 patients had intestinal mansoniasis and 17 had mansoniasis with hepatosplen
