Article Synopsis
- The study examines the skin inflammation responses in BALB/c mice induced by heat shock protein 70 (rSj648/hsp70) from Schistosoma japonicum and compares it to LPS injection.
- Mice were injected with either LPS or rSj648/hsp70, and inflammation levels were monitored over time using staining methods, while IFN-gamma expression was measured with real-time PCR.
- Results showed that rSj648/hsp70 caused more prolonged and intense inflammation compared to LPS, suggesting it provides significant protection against schistosome infections through a strong Th1 immune response associated with high IFN-gamma expression.
Markers of hepatitis B (HBsAg, anti-HBs) and C (anti-HCV) were detected in 1990-1992 by enzyme immunoassay in 1581 medical workers, 230 last-year students of medical schools, 269 patients hospitalized at hemoperfusion wards, and 701 blood donors. Hepatitis B markers were detected in medical workers two times more frequently than in donors (HBsAg in 4.7 and 2.
