Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA SHORT INTERFERING RNA MOLECULAR BEACON FOR THE ATTENUATION OF MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTIONRemo George, Kathy Nugent, Norman Bolus et al.The ability of the pathogen Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) to invade and survive within macrophages of granulomas is attributed to the product of the Mammalian Cell Entry (MCE) operon whose gene, mce4A, encodes a cholesterol transporter that transports host lipids into the bacterium that allows the bacterium to survive during chronic infection. Here, we proposed and tested the hypothesis that a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Cytometry Baseline on Peripheral Leukocyte Cell Profiles for Dairy Goat KidsDarcy M. Fletcher, Megan B. Vogt, Hannah E. Pirner et al.Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisease Management Information SystemBens Pardamean, Anindito, Anjela Djoeang, Nana TobingThe study designed an information system model for Disease Management (DisMan) that met the specifications and needs of a consumer electronics manufacturer. The diseases monitored by this study were diabetes, hypertension and tuberculosis. Data were collected through interviews with the company’s human resources department and occupational health provider. As for the model, literature and online research were conducted to collect … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 2 Jul 2013 · 8,010 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReactive Nitrogen Intermediates Production by Macrophages of Mycobacterium bovis-Infected Goats and Supplemented with Dyhidroxyvitamin D3 in vivoAurora Martinez-Romero, Jose Luis Ortega-Sanchez, Jose Ramon Hernandez-Salgado et al.Problem statement: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's major health problems. To evaluate in vivo indices of cellular sensitization, antigen-induced Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates (RNI) responses by blood mononuclear cells from Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected goats supplemented with 1, 25 dyhidroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25-(OH)2D3]. Approach: An experimental, longitudinal and comparative study was planned. Twelve animals of goat cattle 20-to 24-month-old sannen … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas: A Review ArticleMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Cai YanCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas (CNSTs), the most dangerous form of tubercolomas, remains a public health problem, particularly in the developing country. Central nervous system tuberculomas, either single or multiple, usually presents as a diagnostic challenge because it resembles many other infectious and non-infectious medical conditions, particularly in patients without constitutional symptoms or evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. Here … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral Immune Response in Tuberculous PleuritisPrabha C., Kripa V. Jalapathy, Sulochana D. DasTuberculous pleuritis is a good human model to understand the local and protective immune response against tuberculosis, due to the self-limitedness of the disease. Although the cellular immune response has been well characterised in tuberculous pleurisy, much less is known about the humoral immune response operating at the site of infection. To understand the humoral immune response, B cells were … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Transcript Labeling Techniques and Development of a Membrane-based Parallel Gene Expression AssayMark A. Fisher, Bonnie B. Plikaytis, Thomas M. ShinnickAn inexpensive alternative to micro arrays was developed to examine the expression of small sets of genes in parallel and used to compare direct and indirect transcript labeling methods. Psoralen-biotin direct labeling was ~10-fold less sensitive than reverse transcriptase-biotin-dUTP labeling, but the enzymatic method generated higher levels of background noise in miniarray hybridizations. The reproducibility of hybridization intensities was the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDFCite
