Determination of serum antibody titers is one method commonly used to assess
host humoral immune responses to a number of disease - causing organisms.
For example, the dietary carotenoid astaxanthin stimulates cell - mediated and
humoral immune responses in cats (Park et al. 2011) and dogs (Chew et al. 2011).
Pinworm infections have been shown, for example, to increase a host's
humoral immune responses to nonparasitic antigenic stimuli and to accelerate the development of the hepatic monooxygenase system.
The exact composition of germline V gene sequences in an individual has been difficult to determine due to the highly repetitive nature of the genomic sequences encoding these segments, thus limiting our understanding of
humoral immune responses.
BELLEROPHON aimed at developing a Staphylococcus aureus vaccine targeting cellular and
humoral immune responses.
Immune cells that play a large role in
humoral immune response.
Production of these antibodies against the BBB and other neural cell antigens from a cell - mediated and
humoral immune response may indicate a pathological alteration of the protective brain barrier.
She returned to Glasgow Veterinary School to research into FIP, her PhD was entitled «Studies on
the humoral immune response to feline coronavirus.»
This happens in dogs with insufficient cell mediated immunity and
humoral immune response.
By measuring serum antibody titers annually, one can assess the level of a given dog's
humoral immune response to CPV and CDV.
The rationale for selecting CPV and CDV for serum antibody testing is based on the clinically important diseases they cause, combined with the usefulness of the host's
humoral immune response to these viruses for determining the need for revaccination.
