Postinfection Pig and Ferret Antisera Show Similar Antigenic Profiles for Human Influenza A(H1N1pdm09) Viruses

open access: yesInfluenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Monitoring antigenic drift in human influenza A viruses is essential for vaccine strain selection and ensuring protection against circulating strains. Antigenic drift is traditionally assessed using ferret antisera, which provide monospecific responses and human vaccinee sera, which reflect exposure to multiple antigens.

Polarity of neutral glycolipids, gangliosides, and sulfated lipids in MDCK epithelial cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1988
Confluent monolayers of MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells provide a widely used model system for studying epithelial cell polarity. We determined the polarity of epithelial cell plasma membrane glycolipids and sulfated lipids by analyzing the lipids

The MAL protein is crucial for proper membrane condensation at the ciliary base, which is required for primary cilium elongation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The base of the primary cilium contains a zone of condensed membranes whose importance is not known. Here, we have studied the involvement of MAL, a tetraspanning protein that exclusively partitions into condensed membrane fractions, in the condensation ...

Expression of junctional proteins in choroid plexus epithelial cell lines: a comparative study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background There is an increasing interest in using choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cell lines to study the properties of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). Currently, there are three major CP-derived cell lines available.

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Interaction between galectin-3 and cystinosin uncovers a pathogenic role of inflammation in kidney involvement of cystinosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms are often unknown. Here, we test whether cystinosin, the protein involved in cystinosis, is a critical regulator of galectin-3, a member of the β ...

Collective and single cell behavior in epithelial contact inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Control of cell proliferation is a fundamental aspect of tissue physiology central to morphogenesis, wound healing and cancer. Although many of the molecular genetic factors are now known, the system level regulation of growth is still poorly understood.

Calcium transients trigger switch-like discharge of prostaglandin E2 in an extracellular signal-regulated kinase-dependent manner

open access: yeseLife
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a key player in a plethora of physiological and pathological events. Nevertheless, little is known about the dynamics of PGE2 secretion from a single cell and its effect on the neighboring cells.
