Antibodies Quotes

• An immune system of enormous complexity is present in all vertebrate animals. When we place a population of lymphocytes from such an animal in appropriate tissue culture fluid, and when we add an antigen, the lymphocytes will produce specific antibody molecules, in the absense of any nerve cells. I find it astonishing that the immune system embodies a degree of complexity which suggests some more or less superficial though striking analogies with human language, and that this cognitive system has evolved and functions without assistance of the brain.

• What attracted me to immunology was that the whole thing seemed to revolve around a very simple experiment: take two different antibody molecules and compare their primary sequences. The secret of antibody diversity would emerge from that. Fortunately at the time I was sufficiently ignorant of the subject not to realise how naive I was being.

• When a person tests positive for HIV, it is not a test for the virus itself but for antibodies to the virus, and the test is not able to distinguish between HIV antibodies and a multitude of other antibodies. Many conditions can lead to a false positive result, including flu shots, hepatitis, and pregnancy.

• I am a child of the poisonous wind that copulated with the East River on an oil-slick, garbage infested midnight. I turn about on my own parentage. I inoculate against those very biles that brought me to light. I am a serum born of venoms. I am the antibody of all Time. I am the Cure. You do of the City, do you not? Manhattan is your punisher, let me be you shield.

• Fundamentalism in most of its forms is the active creation of antibodies to some threatening [god] virus.

• I began researching and writing what I intended as a book-length essay entitled Fascination and Liberation, exploring the question of whether there is a conflict between creativity and the Eastern form of enlightenment. I don't know if I'll ever finish that essay, because I had an experience, after I'd written two or three chapters, in which it seemed to me that my psychic antibodies decisively rejected Buddhism. Interestingly, the rejection felt as if it happened in Zen terms.

• We're very enthused about the idea that in the third trimester we actually give the mother a vaccine and her antibodies, the protective things that the immune system makes, actually pass through to the baby, both when the baby is born, and through the mother's milk. Because the baby's immune system is actually not very strong for that first few months, using the mother's immune system to do this - it's a very exciting idea and something that we're investing heavily in.

• El 2 de abril, las enfermeras empezaron mi primera tanda de cinco infusiones de inmunoglobulina intravenosa (IGIV). Las bolsas intravenosas transparentes colgaban de un poste metálico por encima de mi cabeza y su líquido se deslizaba por mi vena. Cada una de esas bolsas de aspecto corriente contenía los anticuerpos sanos de más de mil donantes de sangre y costaba más de 20.000 dólares por infusión. Mil torniquetes, mil enfermeras, mil venas, mil galletas reguladoras del azúcar en sangre, todo para ayudar a un solo paciente.

• Panel tiroideo (análisis de sangre)-Los niveles anormales de la hormona tiroidea son una causa común de ansiedad, depresión, falta de memoria, confusión y letargo. Tener niveles bajos de tiroides disminuye la actividad cerebral general, lo que puede perjudicar su pensamiento, juicio y autocontrol y hacer que le resulte muy difícil sentirse bien. Un funcionamiento bajo de la tiroides puede hacer casi imposible controlar el peso de forma eficaz. Para conocer sus niveles tiroideos, necesita conocer estas cifras: hormona estimulante del tiroides (TSH) T3 libre T4 libre Anticuerpos tiroideos (anticuerpos contra la peroxidasa tiroidea y la tiroglobulina)
