...A. Tosca; J. Hatzis; A. Haidas; A. Varelzidis The present study deals with the evaluation of some substrates for the detection of nuclear antibodies by the indirect immunofluorescence method. We have examined white male mouse liver imprint, white female pregnant mouse liver imprint, compound...

...Razzaque Ahmed; Mary L. Amerian 73 patients with bullous pemphigoid were studied to examine the association between serum anti-basement membrane zone (anti-BMZ) antibody and malignancy. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) was performed on the sera. 37 patients had positive IIF for anti-BMZ antibodies...

... pemphigus-like eruptions. Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of antibodies against epidermis induced by IFN-α therapy, as detected by indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting (WB). Method: We have studied the sera of 47 patients treated with low doses of IFN-α2a...

... immunofluorescence, indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) using monkey esophagus as substrate, salt-split skin (SSS) and an immunoblot assay. Since all 13 patients failed to respond to conventional systemic therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) was used as an alternative treatment modality. Prior to initiating IVIg...

... in an immunocompetent man caused by Nocardia brasiliensis. Diagnosis was made by cultivation and 16S rRNA sequencing. Using indirect immunofluorescence and Western blot, a strong antibody response to the N. brasiliensis isolate could be demonstrated. Serological tests might therefore be useful for the diagnosis...
