Signaling by Toll-like Receptors 8 and 9 Requires Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase*
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a primary surveillance system for the detection of pathogens and are crucial to the activation of host defense. TLR7 and TLR8 sense single-stranded RNA from viruses or host ribonucleoproteins and synthetic imidazoquinolines

Impaired precursor B cell differentiation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase-deficient mice [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a cytoplasmic signaling molecule that is crucial for precursor (pre-B) cell differentiation in humans. In this study, we show that during the transition of large cycling to small resting pre-B cells in ...

Low dose Btk inhibitors selectively block platelet activation by CLEC-2 [PDF]
Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase Btk have been proposed as novel antiplatelet agents. In this study we show that low concentrations of the Btk inhibitor ibrutinib block CLEC-2-mediated activation and tyrosine phosphorylation including Syk and PLCγ2 in ...

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) gene. In order to identify the mutations in Btk gene in Iranian patients with antibody deficiency, 13 male patients with an XLA phenotype ...

Genomic organization of mouse and human Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (Btk) loci.
Btk is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) that has been directly implicated in the pathogenesis of X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (Xid) in mice. We have isolated phage and cosmid clones that allowed us

A Support Vector Machine Base Model for Predicting Heparin-Binding Proteins Using Biological Metrics and XB Patterns as Features [PDF]
Heparin is a highly sulphated and negatively charged polysaccharides belonging to the glycosamino- glycans(GAGs) family. It is widely used in medical treatments as an injectable anticoagulant.

Advances in bronchiectasis:endotyping, genetics, microbiome, and disease heterogeneity [PDF]
Bronchiectasis is characterised by pathological dilation of the airways. More specifically, the radiographic demonstration of airway enlargement is the common feature of a heterogeneous set of conditions and clinical presentations.

Profound reduction of mature B cell numbers, reactivities and serum lg levels in mice which simultaneously carry the XID and CD40 deficiency gense [PDF]
It has been known for some time that single mutant nude or CD40T mice have apparently normal numbers of cells in the precursor compartments of bone marrow and the mature B cell compartments of the periphery.

Btk Mutations Selectively Regulate Btk Expression And Upregulate Monocyte Xbp1 Mrna In Xla Patients. [PDF]
Mutations in the Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene are responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Unfolded or misfolded proteins can trigger stress pathways in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), known as unfolded protein response (
