 | | The way antigens are acquired by individual lymphatic tissues affects the outcome of an immune response. | | | An objective of Dr. Dertzbaugh and our laboratory to develop a bacterial expression system that will genetically fuse an antigenic construct to CTB in such a way that it can be expressed without alterating the native configuration of the antigen or the B-subunit. | | | Not all vaccine antigens exhibit this behavior, especially those that have so-called "adjuvant" effects. |

| | Glossary |
| | Unresponsiveness may be specific for a particular antigen (see tolerance), or broadly nonspecific as a result of damage to the entire immune system, for example after whole body irradiation. | | | Hypersensitivity: State of reactivity to antigen that is greater than normal for the antigenic challenge; hypersensitivity is the same as allergy and denotes a deleterious outcome rather than a protective one. | | | Memory: In the immune system, memory denotes an active state of immunity to a specific antigen, such that a second encounter with that antigen leads to a larger and more rapid response. |

| | Guidelines for Testing and Counseling Blood and Plasma Donors |
| | Donors whose HIV-antibody–test results are negative, but whose screening-test results for HIV antigen are repeatedly reactive and neutralization-assay results are positive, should be counseled that they are probably infected with HIV (Figure 1). | | | Donors who have negative neutralization results should be counseled that their antigen screening tests were reactive but that their supplementary tests were negative, which likely represents a false-positive test. | | | An analysis of 69 preseroconversion samples that were positive for HIV-1 RNA by PCR demonstrated that the antigen test was reactive for 51 (74%) of those samples (M.P. Busch, personal communication, 1995). |

| | Immune System |
| | Parts of the immune system are antigen-specific (they recognize and act against particular antigens), systemic (not confined to the initial infection site, but work throughout the body), and have memory (recognize and mount an even stronger attack to the same antigen the next time). | | | Passive natural (transplacental = mother to child): develops immediately, is temporary, and affects all antigens to which the mother has immunity. | | | Parts of the immune system are changeable and can adapt to better attack the invading antigen. |

| | Prostate specific antigen |
| | Due to a substantial overlap in percent free prostate specific antigen between the 2 groups, a clinically useful cutoff point could not be established. | | | The PPV is the conditional probability of having prostate cancer, given a value of PSA and a particular age group. | | | CONCLUSIONS: The serum determination of the fPSA/tPSA ratio is an excellent index of PCa for subjects younger than 60 years of age; the clinical utility of PSA mRNA identification in circulating cells needs to be validated by large follow-up studies, and the analysis of PSM mRNA seems to be of no clinical interest. |
