Interactions of intestinal epithelial cells with bacterial extracellular products [PDF]
The enteric microflora represents one of the densest microbial populations in the biological world; as a consequence, the intestinal immune system is constantly exposed to high concentrations of antigenic materials. One of the major frontline defences in

Serodiagnosis of Echinococcus spp. infection: explorative selection of diagnostic antigens by peptide microarray [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Production of native antigens for serodiagnosis of helminthic infections is laborious and hampered by batch-to-batch variation. For serodiagnosis of echinococcosis, especially cystic disease, most screening tests rely on crude or purified ...

Identification of protective antigens for vaccination against systemic salmonellosis [PDF]
There is an urgent medical need for improved vaccines with broad serovar coverage and high efficacy against systemic salmonellosis. Subunit vaccines offer excellent safety profiles but require identification of protective antigens, which remains a ...

Synthetic carbohydrate-based vaccines: challenges and opportunities
Glycoconjugate vaccines based on bacterial capsular polysaccharides (CPS) have been extremely successful in preventing bacterial infections. The glycan antigens for the preparation of CPS based glycoconjugate vaccines are mainly obtained from bacterial ...

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens. [PDF]
We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

The uptake of soluble and particulate antigens by epithelial cells in the mouse small intestine. [PDF]
Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) overlying the villi play a prominent role in absorption of digested nutrients and establish a barrier that separates the internal milieu from potentially harmful microbial antigens.

What are the likely causes of breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)?
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a CD30-positive, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative T-cell lymphoma. Where implant history is known, all confirmed cases to date have occurred in patients with exposure to textured ...

Comparison of schistosoma mansoni soluble cercarial antigens and soluble egg antigens for serodiagnosing schistosome infections [PDF]
A Schistosoma mansoni cercarial antigen preparation (cercarial transformation fluid – SmCTF) was evaluated for detection of anti-schistosome antibodies in human sera in 4 collaborating laboratories.
