Global properties of an age-structured virus model with saturated antibody immune response, multi-target cells and general incidence rate [PDF]
Some viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus, can infect several types of cell populations. The age of infection can also affect the dynamics of infected cells and production of viral particles. In this work, we study a virus model with infection-age and different types of target cells which takes into account the saturation effect in antibody ...

BCG: a vaccine with multiple faces
BCG has been recommended because of its efficacy against disseminated and meningeal tuberculosis. The BCG vaccine has other mechanisms of action besides tuberculosis protection, with immunomodulatory properties that are now being discovered. Reports have

Subcutaneous IgG Replacement Therapy by Push in 32 Patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases in Argentine [PDF]
Introduction: Regular replacement with immunoglobulin infusions is the mainstay of treatment in the majority of primary immunodeficiencies. Several studies showed that Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIG) has similar efficacy to Intravenous Immunoglobulin (

Quasispecies dynamics on a network of interacting genotypes and idiotypes: Applications to autoimmunity and immunodeficiency [PDF]
In spite of their many facets, the phenomena of autoimmunity and immunodeficiency seem to be related to each other through the subtle links connecting retroviral mutation and action to immune response and adaptation. In a previous work, we introduced a network model of how a set of interrelated genotypes (called a quasispecies, in the stationary state)

Diarrhoea lasting longer than 14 days and failing to respond to conventional management is defined as severe and protracted diarrhoea (SD). In this study, we investigated the prevalence, pathogens and prognosis of SD in primary immunodeficiency diseases (

Primary vs. Secondary Antibody Deficiency: Clinical Features and Infection Outcomes of Immunoglobulin Replacement [PDF]
Secondary antibody deficiency can occur as a result of haematological malignancies or certain medications, but not much is known about the clinical and immunological features of this group of patients as a whole. Here we describe a cohort of 167 patients
