Increased Numbers of CD4+ T‐Cells in the Hypocretin/Orexin Region of Narcolepsy Type 1

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is presumed to be an autoimmune disorder caused by hypothalamic loss of hypocretin (Hcrt; orexin). In postmortem NT1 brains, we observed an 11‐fold increase of CD4+ T‐cells in the Hcrt region compared with control hypothalami, without a corresponding rise in CD8+ T‐cells.

Neutralizing Antibodies Induced by Gene-Based Hydrodynamic Injection Have a Therapeutic Effect in Lethal Influenza Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The influenza virus causes annual epidemics and occasional pandemics and is thus a major public health problem. Development of vaccines and antiviral drugs is essential for controlling influenza virus infection.

Generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro II. Induction requirements with functionally inactivated virus preparations [PDF]

, 1980
Using noninfectious Sendai virus preparations after selective enzymatic digestion of either of the two viral envelope glycoproteins, it was possible to study the effect of different virion-cell membrane interactions on virus-specific cytotoxic T ...

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Overcome the Low Immunogenicity of M2e Peptide via Surface Click Chemistry Conjugation, Improving the Anti‐M2e Antibody Response

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
1) Nanostructured lipid carriers efficiently vectorize low‐immunogenic M2e peptide. 2) M2e peptide conjugation via click chemistry preserves the peptide key epitopes. 3) Forty M2e peptides per nanoparticle are sufficient to induce robust immune responses.

A reassortant H9N2 influenza virus containing 2009 pandemic H1N1 internal-protein genes acquired enhanced pig-to-pig transmission after serial passages in swine [PDF]

, 2017
Avian H9N2 and 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses can infect pigs and humans, raising the concern that H9N2: pH1N1 reassortant viruses could emerge.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus hemagglutinin binds fibronectin [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1994
Attachment of microorganisms to host tissue is regarded as an important step in the pathogenesis of infections. Staphylococcus saprophyticus adheres to various epithelial cells and hemagglutinates sheep erythrocytes. The hemagglutinin has been identified, but a human target for this surface protein is still not known.

Influenza C virus hemagglutinin: comparison with influenza A and B virus hemagglutinins [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1984
The complete nucleotide sequence of the influenza C/California/78 virus RNA 4 was obtained by using cloned cDNA derived from the RNA segment. This gene is 2,071 nucleotides long and can code for a polypeptide of 654 amino acids. Although there are no convincing sequence homologies between RNA 4 and the hemagglutinin genes of influenza A and B viruses ...

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.
