Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Sequencing in People Living With HIV in the Southern United States Reveals Subtype Diversity and Multiple Infections. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi's sarcoma and lymphoproliferative diseases collectively identified as KSHV‐associated diseases (KAD). While KAD incidence has decreased across the United States, regional and population‐based variability exists, with higher rates in southern states. To understand the

Short communication: Complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum J26, a probiotic strain with immunomodulatory activity [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 Lactobacillus plantarum J26, a significant probiotic isolated from Chinese traditional fermented dairy products, exerts a positive immunomodulatory effect by regulating the expression of immune-related genes. We investigated expression of the cytokines IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the intestinal tract of mice stimulated by L ...
