Localisation of the Ki-67 antigen within the nucleolus: Evidence for a fibrillarin-deficient region of the dense fibrillar component [PDF]
The Ki-67 antigen is detected in proliferating cells in all phases of the cell division cycle. Throughout most of interphase, the Ki-67 antigen is localised within the nucleolus.

A computational study of the statistical mechanics of antibody-antigen conformations [PDF]
We describe the representation of the chemical affinity between the antigen-combining site of the immunoglobulin molecule and the antigen molecule as the probability of the two molecules existing in a bound state. Our model is based on the identification of shape attractors in the configuration space for the joint antibody / antigen combining site ...

Targeting self- and foreign antigens to dendritic cells via DC-ASGPR generates IL-10-producing suppressive CD4+ T cells [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) can initiate and shape host immune responses toward either immunity or tolerance by their effects on antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells.

Tracking Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Infection in the Humanized DRAG Mouse Model
Humanized mice are emerging as an alternative model system to well-established non-human primate (NHP) models for studying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 biology and pathogenesis.

A General Theory for Direct Quantitative Analysis of Antigen [PDF]
A theory for direct quantitative analysis of an antigen is proposed. It is based on a potential homogenous immunoreaction system. It establishes an equation to describe the concentration change of the antigen and antibody complex. A maximum point is found in the concentration profile of the complex which can be used to calculate the concentration of ...

Early signaling defects in human T cells anergized by T cell presentation of autoantigen. [PDF]
Major histocompatibility complex class II-positive human T cell clones are nontraditional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that are able to simultaneously present and respond to peptide or degraded antigen, but are unable to process intact protein ...

A pentapeptide as minimal antigenic determinant for MHC class I-restricted T lymphocytes [PDF]
Peptides that are antigenic for T lymphocytes are ligands for two receptors, the class I or II glycoproteins that are encoded by genes in the major histocompatibility complex, and the idiotypic / chain T-cell antigen receptor1–9. That a peptide must bind

The serlogical specificity of the lectin from Lens culinaris [PDF]
Lens culinaris, the common lentil, contains a lectin which has been shown to be specific for a glycoprotein saliva antigen and a glycolipoprotein serum antigen.

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]
Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like genealogical tree. Here, we use a large-scale individual-based model to show that evolution in a Euclidean
