Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Safety of Treatment Regimens for Histoplasmosis and Tuberculosis Coinfection in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis Protocol. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims While previous publications have briefly pointed out a few alternative therapeutic interventions for the treatment of histoplasmosis and tuberculosis coinfections in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), there are no reviews evaluating the efficacy, effectiveness ...

Mother-child histocompatibility and risk of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus among mothers. [PDF]
The study objective was to test the hypothesis that having histocompatible children increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), possibly by contributing to the persistence of fetal cells acquired during ...

Cloning and expression of porcine β1,4 N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase encoding a new xenoreactive antigen [PDF]
Xenograft rejection of pigs organs with an engineered mutation in the GGTA-1 gene (GTKO) remains a predominantly antibody mediated process which is directed to a variety of non-Gal protein and carbohydrate antigens.

Cutaneous eccrine glands of the foot pads of the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis, Hyracoidea, mammalia) [PDF]
In order to find correlations between skin gland morphology and specific ethological features, the cutaneous glands of the foot pads of Procavia capensis were studied by histological and various histochemical methods and by electron microscopy.

Background Pigs/bovines share common antigens with humans: α‐Gal, present in all pigs/bovines close to the human B‐antigen; and AH‐histo‐blood‐group antigen, identical to human AH‐antigen and present only in some animals.

Vaccination of Cattle with the N Terminus of LppQ of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides Results in Type III Immune Complex Disease upon Experimental Infection [PDF]
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a serious respiratory disease of cattle caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. Current vaccines against CBPP induce short-lived immunity and can cause severe postvaccine reactions. Previous studies have

Structural Constraints on Human Norovirus Binding to Histo-Blood Group Antigens [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human norovirus interacts with the polymorphic human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs), and this interaction is thought to be important for infection. The genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) noroviruses are the dominant cluster, evolve every other year, and are thought to modify their binding interactions with different HBGA types. Most

Lewis b antigen is a common ligand for genogroup I norovirus strains
Noroviruses are major causative agents of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis in humans. Ten genogroups of noroviruses have been identified to date, among which genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII) noroviruses are major pathogens for humans. GI and GII

Norovirus Capture with Histo-Blood Group Antigens Reveals Novel Virus-Ligand Interactions [PDF]
ABSTRACT Noroviruses are genetically diverse, uncultivable, positive-sense RNA viruses and are the most common cause of epidemic acute gastroenteritis in humans in the United States. Recent studies of norovirus attachment in vitro by using recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) suggest that various norovirus strains exhibit ...

Crystal Structure of the Cysteine-Rich Domain of Mannose Receptor Complexed with a Sulfated Carbohydrate Ligand [PDF]
The macrophage and epithelial cell mannose receptor (MR) binds carbohydrates on foreign and host molecules. Two portions of MR recognize carbohydrates: tandemly arranged C-type lectin domains facilitate carbohydrate-dependent macrophage uptake of ...
