Encapsidation of APOBEC3G into HIV-1 virions involves lipid raft association and does not correlate with APOBEC3G oligomerization

Retrovirology, 2009
Background The cellular cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G (A3G), when incorporated into the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), renders viral particles non-infectious.

Discordant antibody and cellular responses to Pneumocystis major surface glycoprotein variants in mice

BMC Immunology, 2012
Background The major surface glycoprotein (Msg) of Pneumocystis is encoded by approximately 50 to 80 unique but related genes. Msg diversity may represent a mechanism for immune escape from host T cell responses.

CD8α is expressed by human monocytes and enhances FcγR-dependent responses

BMC Immunology, 2007
Background CD8α enhances the responses of antigen-specific CTL activated through TCR through binding MHC class I, favoring lipid raft partitioning of TCR, and inducing intracellular signaling.

miR-27b-3p and miR-607 cooperatively regulate BLM gene expression by directly targeting the 3′-UTR in PC3 cells

Molecular Medicine Reports, 2019
BLM RecQ like helicase (BLM) has a pivotal role in genetic recombination, transcription, DNA replication and DNA repair, which presents the possibility of using BLM as an anti-cancer target for treatment.

Maternal immune markers in serum during gestation and in breast milk and the risk of asthma-like symptoms at ages 6 and 12 months: a longitudinal study

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2012
Background The role of breast milk on the risk of childhood asthma is in dispute. The aim of this prospective study is to determine the relationship of immune markers in maternal serum during gestation and breast milk to asthma-like symptoms (AS) in ...

Maturation of the Acute Hepatic TLR4/NF-κB Mediated Innate Immune Response Is p65 Dependent in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Compared to adults, neonates are at increased risk of infection. There is a growing recognition that dynamic qualitative and quantitative differences in immunity over development contribute to these observations.

The chaperone SmgGDS-607 has a dual role, both activating and inhibiting farnesylation of small GTPases

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019
Ras family small GTPases undergo prenylation (such as farnesylation) for proper localization to the plasma membrane, where they can initiate oncogenic signaling pathways.

Prevalence of asthma symptoms based on the european community respiratory health survey questionnaire and FENO in university students: gender differences in symptoms and FENO

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2011
Background The fractional concentration of nitric oxide in exhaled air (FENO) is used as a biomarker of eosinophilic airway inflammation. FENO is increased in patients with asthma.
