Abstract
We describe the case of a 44-year-old asthmatic whose asthma control deteriorated after moving to a new flat with walls covered in mould. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was excluded. Although sensitization to Candida was demonstrated by a positive Candida-specific radioallergosorbent test,...

Abstract
Studies are described of the early and late responses of rabbits immunized with human IgG protein. Early macroglobulins (19S) antiglobulin antibody is compared with 7S antibody in tests against red cells strongly and weakly coated by IgG anti-Rh(D) antibody. The 19S antibody, when reacted on a glass...

Abstract
Farmers' lung disease (FLD) is a pulmonary disease that results from repeated inhalation of antigens from mouldy hay or straw. The objective of this prospective study was to assess the reliability of four serological techniques in FLD diagnosis. Sera from 15 consecutive patients with FLD, 15 healthy...

Abstract
Serum precipitins have a controversial diagnostic value in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). The present authors' objective was to assess their diagnostic value by developing scores from a panel of specific antigens tested by two techniques (electrosyneresis and double diffusion) to discriminate ac...

Abstract
Specific IgG is an occupational exposure marker among plasterers, but it has not been possible to establish a cut off point that differentiates exposed subjects from affected ones. This determination has a greater sensitivity than precipitins. We did not identify occupational or extra-occupational r...

Abstract
Calf thymus native DNA was covalently linked with lysine by irradiation with 254 nm light. Thermal melting studies indicated a decrease of 16 degrees C in the Tm of DNA-lysine photoadduct over native DNA. The decrease in Tm was dependent of irradiation dose. The photoadduct was found to be a potent...
