Expression levels of MHC class I molecules are inversely correlated with promiscuity of peptide binding. [PDF]

, 2015
Highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are at the heart of adaptive immune responses, playing crucial roles in many kinds of disease and in vaccination. We report that breadth of peptide presentation and level of cell surface

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

A wide spectrum of fastidious and ampicillin-susceptible bacteria dominate in animal-caused wounds [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2016
The main purpose of this study was to assess the actual occurrence of Gram-negative oxidase-positive bacteria (GNOP) in human wounds caused by animals, mostly cat and dog bites and scratches, and with signs of infection. We report a prospective series of 92 wound samples.

Need for Susceptibility Testing Guidelines for Fastidious or Less-Frequently Isolated Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004
In the United States, clinical microbiology laboratories rely upon the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) for written standards that guide the important elements of antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Whether a laboratory performs a direct version of an NCCLS standard method (e.g., disk diffusion) or uses a commercial device

Shaping Ti3C2 MXene Nanospheres for Precision Near‐Infrared Photothermal Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we report producing spherical MXenes via fs laser fragmentation of Ti3C2 flakes in liquid medium. The nanoparticles demonstrated pronounced light absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiencies of 68% and 63% under heating with NIR‐I and NIR‐II lasers, respectively.
