| screening blood donors for high titre antibody to herpes varicella-zoster. | as a method of increasing supplies of varicella-zoster immunoglobulin, semi-automated screening of blood donors for high titre complement-fixing antibody was initiated. this was compared with the previously used method of donor selection based on a history of varicella or zoster in the past 6 months. about one-third of the "history" donors had titres of greater than or equal to 1 in 64 and generally these levels declined rapidly. in contrast, although only 1.1% of donors in random screening had ... | 1980 | 6267817 |
| antibody responses to varicella-zoster virus and the role of antibody in host defense. | antibody titers to varicella-zoster (vz) virus in persons aged 1-85 years were measured. through age 50, the percent of seropostitive individuals continued to rise. there was no fall in geometric mean titer with aging, and there may have been an increase in vz antibody titer in older persons. thus, a fall in vz antibody with increasing age does not seem likely to account for the increased incidence of zoster in the elderly. similarly, immunocompromised patients who are more likely to develop zos ... | 1981 | 6267940 |
