Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Mechanisms for Altered Glucose Homeostasis in HIV InfectionPaula W. HruzA complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to HIV-associated insulin resistance remains elusive. Complex interrelationships between genetic predisposition, disease-related body changes and multidrug therapy all contribute to alterations in glucose homeostasis. These abnormalities can be differentiated between acute and reversible changes directly induced by HAART medications and more chronic and less reversible changes due to the development of lipodystrophy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Postgenomic Era: Transcriptomic as the New Paradigm of LifeBruno Giardina, Marcella Renis, Vito Latora, Salvatore MusumeciNow that complete genome sequences are available for a variety of organism, the elucidation of single gene function involved in the metabolism, includes necessarily a better understanding of the cellular responses on all levels of gene products, mRNA, proteins and metabolites. Such knowledge’s growth is essential since the observable properties of living organisms, so called phenotypes, are the results of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Changing Pathology of NeuroAIDS Associated with Drug Abuse in the Era of HAARTE Bell Jeanne, C. Anthony Iain, Simmonds PeterCompliance with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) arrests HIV induced immune collapse and reduces the prevalence of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications, including HIV associated dementia and encephalitis. However minor cognitive disorders remain common and recent autopsy studies have demonstrated the presence of subtle neuropathological abnormalities in HAART treated individuals, including persistent neuroinflammation and enhanced deposition in the brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Mandibular Glands of Ant Workers Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel, 1908) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Focusing the Ultrastructural CytochemistryLorena Favaro Pavon, Maria Izabel Camargo MathiasThe mandibular glands of hymenopterans in general are paired structures located on each side of the head. These glands possess an excretory duct located at the internal surface of the mandible articulation, through which these glands release the secretion they produce. The mandibular glands of the minima, media and soldier worker of the ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa were analyzed by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction of Three Complementary Technologies into Clinical Medicine: Development of New Diagnostic and Prognostic ParametersGernot P. Tilz, Marco Wiltgen, Ulrike Demel et al.Molecular medicine leads us to understand some diseases at the molecular level. Examples are the analysis of immune complexes and receptor - anti receptor compounds used in clinical medicine. Structural changes of some serum proteins occur in inflammation, neoplasie and autoimmunity. The detection and analysis of such structural modifications may offer a new field for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Recursive Application of a Support Vector Machine for Protein Spot Detection in 2-Dimensional Gel ElectrophoresisGary D. Boetticher, Hisham Al-Mubaid, Karen Frasier-ScottTwo-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) analysis remains the core of proteomic technology because it is currently the most powerful method to analyze large collections of proteins. Advances in electrophoresis equipment are making this technique more accessible but effective computer assisted protein spot detection remains a very labor-intensive endeavor. Protein spot analysis is still time consuming, requires human intervention and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Identifying Immunogenic Targets in Visceral Leishmaniasis: Role of 17kDa and 63kDa PhosphoproteinsShubhankar K Singh, Sanjiva Bimal, Diwakar S. Dinesh et al.We observed predominant phosphorylation at Protein Kinase C (PKC-α) residue in seven immunoreactive proteins of virulent Leishmania donovani parasites. These phosphoproteins were tested for their ability to stimulate T-cells for secretion of Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in comparision to crude soluble antigen in Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) patients. Two of these phosphorylated L. donovani antigens led Leishmania to present these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Latrophilin-2 is Expressed in the Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast of Placenta and in Endothelial CellsGunda Herberth, Anke Stein, Jens Glienke et al.Latrophilin-2 is a member of the family of adhesion-GPCRs that is characterised by a long N-terminus which contains motifs identified in proteins involved in cell adhesion. We were interested in determining the expression pattern of human latrophilin-2 and to perform a biochemical characterisation of this protein. The expression pattern of latrophilin-2 was analysed in human organs, tissues and cell lines. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Feasibility Study of Challenges and Opportunities in Computational Biology: A Malaysian PerspectiveR. J.A. Richard, N. SriraamThe term computational biology refers to the knowledge derived from a computer analysis of biological data that includes identification of genes in DNA sequence of different organisms, prediction of structural and functional mechanism of proteins, feature extraction and classification of genomics and proteomics. Computational biology is a rapidly developing branch of science and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and Concepts … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
