Background Sepsis is a syndrome caused by the host’s inflammatory response to an infection with an unknown mechanism. This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) potentially involved in the development and recovery of tracheal ...

Impact of intermittent preventive anti-malarial treatment on the growth and nutritional status of preschool children in rural Senegal (west Africa). [PDF]
Negative consequences of malaria might account for seasonality in nutritional status in children in the Sahel. We report the impact of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of seasonal intermittent preventive anti-malarial treatment on ...

Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 3 is a target of allele-specific immunity and alleles are maintained by natural selection [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein (MSP) 3 is an asexual blood-stage malaria vaccine candidate antigen. Sequence polymorphisms divide alleles into 2 major types, but the adaptive and immunological significance of the types has ...

Mast cell growth factor modulates CD36 antigen expression on erythroid progenitors from human bone marrow and peripheral blood associated with ongoing differentiation [PDF]
To study the differentiation process of erythroid progenitors from normal human bone marrow and peripheral blood, CD34/CD36 sorted cells were cultured in the presence of Erythropoietin (Epo) and Epo plus mast cell growth factor (MGF). The CD34+/CD36- cell fraction from bone marrow supported 74 +/- 33 erythroid burst forming units (BFU-E)/10(4) cells ...

Malaria still remains a major public health problem in Mali, although disease susceptibility varies between ethnic groups, particularly between the Fulani and Dogon. These two sympatric groups share similar socio-cultural factors and malaria transmission

Background Despite rhabdoviral infections being one of the best known fish diseases, the gene expression changes induced at the surface tissues after the natural route of infection (infection-by-immersion) have not been described yet. This work describes

CD36 or αvβ3 and αvβ5 Integrins Are Not Essential for MHC Class I Cross-Presentation of Cell-Associated Antigen by CD8α+ Murine Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Abstract Cross-presentation of cell-associated Ag is thought to involve receptor-mediated uptake of apoptotic cells by dendritic cells (DC), and studies with human DC strongly implicate the endocytic receptor CD36 and the integrins αvβ3 and/or αvβ5 in this process.

The TSPI/CD36/CD47-complex is involved in T cell expansion and inflammatory responses to beta-amyloid, both relevant to IBM. We report on the mRNA and protein expression of TSP1/CD36/CD47-complex in IBM muscles and in human myoblasts after cytokine ...

Risk factors for gametocyte carriage in Gambian children. [PDF]
A widespread reduction in Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte prevalence could reduce malaria transmission. After infection with P. falciparum, a variable proportion of people are found to be gametocytemic.

Spontaneous Remission of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: A Case Report
Spontaneous remissions (SRs) in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasms (BPDCNs) are infrequent, poorly documented, and transient. We report a 40-year-old man presenting with bycitopenia and soft tissue infection.
