Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeneration of Anti-platelet Autoantibody During Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin, Hsiao-Sheng Liu et al.Dengue virus infection causes dengue fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Thrombocytopenia is common in dengue fever and is always found in DHF/DSS. The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood. To further understand the relationship between anti-dengue virus antibody and anti-platelet antibody, we generated monoclonal anti-dengue virus antibodies from the dengue virus infected mice that developed … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Platelet and Anti-Endothelial Cell Autoantibodies in Vietnamese Infants and Children with Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverNguyen Thanh Hung, Nguyen Trong Lan, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a serious public health problem. Increased vascular permeability and thrombocytopenia are the hallmarks of DHF. The mechanisms involved in DHF/Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) pathogenesis is not fully understood. This study gives evidence of the presence of antibodies which cross-reacted with platelets, and endothelial cells in the sera of Vietnamese infants and children with DHF/DSS. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of the Chemokines CCL3α, CCL3α and CCL5 in Atherosclerotic PatientsAlyaa Mousa, Amani Al-Zaki, Safa Taha, Moiz BakhietChemokines recruit immune cells to inflammatory sites and promote the process of inflammation. The role of these mediators in the disease process in atherosclerosis is not fully studied. The spontaneous mRNA expression and intracellular protein production of the potential inflammatory chemokines CCL3α and CCL3β (macrophage- inflammatory protein-1α and β; CCR3α/β ligand) and CCL5 (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunohistochemistry Assay to Detect Turkey Coronavirus (TCoV) from Experimentally Infected PoultsThais Larissa L Castanheira, Heitor F. Ferrari, Maria Cecília R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe objective of this study was to develop a direct immunohistochemical assay to detect TCoV antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections prepared from experimentally infected poults. The sections of ileo, ileo-cecal junction and ceca regions from intestine were prepared and submitted to two different primary antibodies, first the non-biotin labeled polyclonal antibody for the indirect method, and second the biotin-labeled polyclonal … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecent Advances in the Synthesis of Artificial Antigen and Its Application in the Detection of Pesticide ResidueTong Dewen, Hesheng Yang, Wang JinyiRecent advances in the research of artificial antigen have shown that artificial antigens can be valuable approach for the treatment of some diseases as well as the detection of pesticide residues. By directly/indirectly coupling hapten to an appropriated carrier (macromolecule), artificial antigen can induce animals to produce hapten-specific antibody. Based on this principle, various vaccines have been developed. More impotently, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of a DNA Vaccine for Immunocontraceptive Potential Against Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins in CattleC.A. Foley, S.M. Boyle, R.E. Pearson, F.C. GwazdauskasHolstein cows were administered zona pellucida (ZP) DNA vaccine and used to determine the potential of recombinant rabbit ZP glycoproteins (rZP) as immunocontraceptive antigens. Zona pellucida proteins were purified and quantified. Cows were assigned to one of four treatment groups in which plasmids encoding rabbit ZP proteins were administered, i.d., using a gene gun (ZP55, n=2; ZP75, n=2; Hep55, n=2; … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Evidence for Peptide-Carbohydrate Mimicry with a Group A Streptococcus Polysaccharide-Mimetic PeptideSilvia Borrelli, Rehana B. Hossany, Susan Findlay, B. Mario PintoThe immunogenicity of a peptide-protein conjugate developed by linking a peptide mimic DRPVPY of the Group A Streptococcus cell-wall polysaccharide (GAS-CWPS), to tetanus toxoid (TT) was examined. BALB/c mice were immunized three times subcutaneously following homologous or heterologous prime/boost strategies at 4- or 6- week intervals in two different experiments. DRPVPY-TT, CWPS-TT, heat-killed, pepsin-treated GAS bacteria (with exposed polysaccharide) and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidences of Hepatitis C Virus Replication in Hepatocytes and Peripheral Blood Monocuclear Cells from Patients Negative for Viral RNA in SerumViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.In this study, we examined the expression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) components in hepatocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies and negative for serum HCV-RNA. The samples obtained from 25 randomly selected patients (13 of 25 patients showed no histological evidences of chronic hepatitis and had normal serum ALAT and GGTP levels) were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,164 accessesView PDFCite
