Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Results for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Diagnosis at a Referral Clinical Laboratory in South KoreaTae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimThe world health organization states that individuals with Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) are infected with Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria but do not show symptoms of active disease. However, they are at possibility of developing vigorous TB and potentially transmitting the illness to others. In 2018, South Korea reported a 14.8% positivity rate in LTBI screening, with higher rates observed among older … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2023 · 6,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHomology Modeling of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Interferon-Tau ProteinIndu Joshi, Sunil Kumar, Arminder Kaur et al.Interferon-Tau (IFNt) contributes towards maternal recognition of pregnancy in ruminants (like, cattle, buffalo, goat, giraffe). IFNt has been extensively studied in most of the ruminants except for buffalo Bubalus bubalis). The present study has been undertaken to predict the secondary structure of Interferon-tau in buffalo. The available amino acid sequence of bubaline IFNt (sequence database of SwissProt) was subjected to … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2018 · 7,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFactors Affecting the Response to Interferon Alpha Therapy in Egyptian HCV PatientsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Fathy M. Serry, Ashraf A. Kadry, Heba KhairyHepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Egypt has the highest prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in the world, estimated nationally at 14.7%. knowledge of the predictors of Sustained Viral Response (SVR) to Pegylated Interferon (PEG-INF) and Ribavirin (RBV) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C is crucial for selecting … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Cloning and Heterologous Expression of Human Interferon Alpha2b GeneI. Made Artika, Yemima Budirahardja, Anna Lucia EkowatiHuman alpha Interferons (hIFNα) have been shown to have antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities. The human interferon alpha2b (hIFNα2b), is one of the human interferon alpha2 sub variants, naturally synthesized as a polypeptide of 188 amino acid residues, the first 23 residues of which represents a signal peptide. In the present study, the hIFNα2b gene was expressed after being fused … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Association of HLA Class II Alleles with the Response to Alfa-Interferon/Ribavirin Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C PatientsAwny Aly Abol-Ez Gawish, Nahla Abd El-Hamid Mohammed, Rasha Adel Sayed Ahmed Hussein, Elsaid Galal El-BadrawyHuman Leucocyte Antigens (HLA) class II appears to play an important role in the individual’s immune response to viral infection. The present study was aimed at assessment of the relationship between HLA DRB1 alleles and the response to HCV combined therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C patients (CHC). We enrolled a total of 44 chronically infected HCV patients without Hepatitis B … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2015 · 6,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCTLA-4 Gene Polymorphism in Relation to Thyroid Disorders in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Under Interferon Alpha TherapySalwa M. Abo El-Khair, Abd El-Hameed A. Metwali, Mohamed Abd El-Maksoud, Tarek BesheerThyroid autoimmunity and dysfunction have reported as side effects of interferon-α treatment. The CT60 and exon 1+49 A/G polymorphisms in the Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene have linked to susceptibility to autoimmune disease. The aim of this research was to analyze the frequencies of CTLA-4 CT60 and +49 A/G polymorphisms and evaluate both polymorphisms as indicators of thyroid disorder … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
