Screening vaccine formulations for biological activity using fresh human whole blood. [PDF]
Understanding the relevant biological activity of any pharmaceutical formulation destined for human use is crucial. For vaccine-based formulations, activity must reflect the expected immune response, while for non-vaccine therapeutic agents, such as ...

Revisiting the role of histo-blood group antigens in rotavirus host-cell invasion
Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) have been proposed as rotavirus receptors. H type-1 and Lewisb antigens have been reported to bind VP8* from major human rotavirus genotypes P[4], P[6] and P[8], while VP8* from a rarer P[14] rotavirus recognizes A-type

QuilA-adjuvanted T. gondii lysate antigens trigger robust antibody and IFNγ+ T cell responses in pigs leading to reduction in parasite DNA in tissues upon challenge infection [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite of all mammals and birds, responsible for toxoplasmosis. In healthy individuals T. gondii infections mostly remain asymptomatic, however this parasite causes severe morbidity and mortality in ...

A Scenario for the Origin of Blood Group Antigens [PDF]
A long time ago, in the unpublished manuscript of a book on evolutionary biology, I put forward a hypothesis for the origin of blood group antigens that correlates with recent medical findings in relation to the ABO blood group system. My scenario is based upon interactions between invading organisms (whether viral, bacterial, protozoan, or multi ...

Genetic Analysis of ABO and Rh Blood Groups in Brahmin Population of Uttar Pradesh, India” [PDF]
A series of glycoprotein and glycolipids on the red blood cell surface constitute blood group antigens. These are A, B, AB and O in ABO blood group system and Rh in rhesus blood group system. These antigens are genetically controlled.

Blood group antigen distribution in Lao blood donors [PDF]
Abstract Blood group antigens can be distributed differently within different nationalities. Therefore, information about the prevalence of blood group antigens in the Lao population will be useful for providing better blood transfusion services in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only
