Diphtheria Antitoxin Levels in the Netherlands: a Population-Based Study

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
In a population-based study in the Netherlands, diphtheria antitoxin antibodies were measured with a toxin-binding inhibition assay in 9,134 sera from the general population and religious communities refusing vaccination.

Corticotropin‐Releasing Hormone (CRH) in Murine Narcolepsy: What Do Genetic and Immune Models Tell Us?

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narcolepsy type 1 is a chronic sleep disorder of putative autoimmune aetiology, primarily caused by the loss of orexin‐producing neurons in the hypothalamus. An additional 88% reduction in corticotropin‐releasing hormone‐immunoreactive neurons of the paraventricular nucleus has been recently observed in post‐mortem brains of individuals with ...

Genomic analyses reveal two distinct lineages of Corynebacterium ulcerans strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Corynebacterium ulcerans is an important zoonotic pathogen which is causing diphtheria-like disease in humans, globally. In this study, the genomes of three recently isolated C.

Observations on the Structure of Diphtheria Toxin

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1971
Diphtheria toxin is synthesized as a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of about 62,000. After being secreted it may be partially digested by proteolytic enzymes released from the bacterial cells into the culture medium and purified preparations of toxin usually contain some of the proteolytic breakdown products.

The role of immune responses and microbiota in adipose tissue homeostasis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Gut microbiota regulate white and brown adipose tissue homeostasis via modulation of gut hormone secretion, activation of pathogen‐associated pattern receptors and production of bioactive molecules and metabolites such as short‐chain fatty acids, endocannabinoids, amino acid derivates and bile acids, all of which affect ...

Path Similarity Analysis: a Method for Quantifying Macromolecular Pathways

open access: yes, 2015
Diverse classes of proteins function through large-scale conformational changes; sophisticated enhanced sampling methods have been proposed to generate these macromolecular transition paths. As such paths are curves in a high-dimensional space, they have

Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of Animal Testing in the Quality Control of Human Vaccines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Vaccines are recognised as a highly cost effective tool for preventing infectious diseases. They are derived from biological sources and due to the complexity of composition and heterogeneity of products, vaccine lots undergo legally required quality ...

Anatomical and functional mapping of vagal nociceptive sensory nerve subsets innervating the mouse lower airways by intersectional genetics

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We used an intersectional approach with recombinase‐expressing mice and adeno‐associated virus to map and modulate distinct nociceptive afferents in the vagal ganglia. TRPV1+P2X2+ neurons resided in the nodose ganglion (N), innervated the lungs (many projected into the alveoli) but not the trachea, and projected to the nucleus ...
