HLA DR phenotypic frequencies and genetic risk of Type 1 diabetes in west region of Algeria, Tlemcen

BMC Genetics, 2004
Background The main genomic region controlling the predisposition to type 1 diabetes is the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) class II of the major histocompatibility complex. Association with different HLA types depends also on the studied populations.

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

Aspectos genéticos da esclerose múltipla: II. sistema HLA Genetic aspects in multiple sclerosis: HLA system

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1996
Foi feita análise e revisão de estudos populacionais de associação entre antígenos HLA e a esclerose múltipla (EM). Há evidências de que os genes HLA, principalmente os de classe II, das sub-regiões DR e DQ possam estar envolvidos.

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (

Herpesviruses Placating the Unwilling Host: Manipulation of the MHC Class II Antigen Presentation Pathway

Viruses, 2012
Lifelong persistent infection by herpesviruses depends on the balance between host immune responses and viral immune evasion. CD4 T cells responding to antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) molecules are known to play ...

Viral adaptation to host immune responses occurs in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and adaptation is greatest in HBV e antigen-negative disease [PDF]

, 2012
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T-cell responses are important in the natural history of HBV infection. The number of known HBV-specific T-cell epitopes is limited, and it is not clear whether viral evolution occurs in chronic HBV infection. We aimed to

High‐Dimensional Spectral Flow Cytometry Panel for Immunophenotypic Characterization of Fixed Whole Blood Samples

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are commonly used for immune profiling in clinical research, but their isolation and cryopreservation present logistical challenges, particularly in settings with limited access to research facilities. To address this, we implemented a whole blood fixation protocol to preserve surface protein epitopes

CHANGES OF HLA-DR ANTIGEN EXPRESSION ON MONOCYTES IN CHILDREN AND THEIR CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN SEPSIS

Медицинская иммунология, 2014
. Temporary immunodeficiency is often associated with various pathological conditions, such as myocardial infarction, severe trauma, or major surgery. However, there are no clinical criterions indicative for presence or absence of such immune deficiency.

Complement-Mediated Virus Infectivity Neutralisation by HLA Antibodies Is Associated with Sterilising Immunity to SIV Challenge in the Macaque Model for HIV/AIDS. [PDF]

, 2014
Sterilising immunity is a desired outcome for vaccination against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and has been observed in the macaque model using inactivated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).

Illuminating point‐of‐care diagnostics with aggregation‐induced emission biosensors

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the application of aggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) in point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostics for disease biomarker detection. It systematically examines a range of biosensing platforms, including lateral flow immunoassays, microfluidic chips, and electrochemiluminescence sensors, alongside their utility in detecting ...
