Identification of the lipopolysaccharide O‐antigen biosynthesis priming enzyme and the O‐antigen ligase in Myxococcus xanthus: critical role of LPS O‐antigen in motility and development [PDF]
SummaryMyxococcus xanthus is a model bacterium to study social behavior. At the cellular level, the different social behaviors of M. xanthus involve extensive cell–cell contacts. Here, we used bioinformatics, genetics, heterologous expression and biochemical experiments to identify and characterize the key enzymes in M.

Questioning universal use of O– red blood cells in intrauterine transfusions
In the setting of maternal alloimmunization to antigen(s) on fetal red blood cells, significant fetal anemia may develop, and an intrauterine transfusion may be required. When selecting a blood product for intrauterine transfusion, the priority should be

Analysis of host responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens in a multi-site study of subjects with different TB and HIV infection states in sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health threat with 9 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths per year. In order to develop a protective vaccine, we need to define the antigens expressed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which are ...

Identification and characterization of peripheral T-cell lymphoma-associated SEREX antigens. [PDF]
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are generally less common and pursue a more aggressive clinical course than B-cell lymphomas, with the T-cell phenotype itself being a poor prognostic factor in adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Acquisition of antibody isotypes against Plasmodium falciparum blood stage antigens in a birth cohort. [PDF]
Information on the period during which infants lose their maternally derived antibodies to malaria and begin to acquire naturally their own immune responses against parasite antigens is crucial for understanding when malaria vaccines may be best ...
