Fine specificity of antibodies against AQP4: Epitope mapping reveals intracellular epitopes [PDF]

, 2011
The autoantibody to aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a marker and a pathogenetic factor in Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) (Devic’s syndrome). Our aim was to identify B-cell antigenic linear epitopes of the AQP4 protein and investigate similarities with other molecules.

PREVALENCE OF ANTI-HTLV-I/II IN SLOVENIAN BLOOD DONORS AND THEIMPACT ON BLOOD SCREENING

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2008
BACKGROUND Human T-limphotropic viruses type I and II are retroviruses. People infected withHTLV-I/II are usually asymptomatic, lifelong antibodies carriers. Transfusion of blood components is one of the modes of virus transmissions.

Complete Rescue of HTLV-1_p12KO Infectivity by Depletion of Monocytes Together with NK and CD8⁺ T Cells

Pathogens
The transient depletion of monocytes alone prior to exposure of macaques to HTLV-1 enhances both HTLV-1WT (wild type) and HTLV-1p12KO (Orf-1 knockout) infectivity, but seroconversion to either virus is not sustained over time, suggesting a progressive ...

The phylogeography of orangutan foamy viruses supports the theory of ancient repopulation of Sumatra [PDF]

, 2004
Phylogenetic analysis of foamy virus sequences obtained from Bornean and Sumatran orangutans showed a distinct clustering pattern. One subcluster was represented by both Bornean and Sumatran orangutan simian foamy viruses (SFV). Combined analysis of host

Prevalence and risk factors for Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) among maintenance hemodialysis patients [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Infection with the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), although asymptomatic in most cases, can lead to potentially grave consequences, such as adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy / tropical spastic ...
