Distinct effects of complement C4A and C4B copy number in Systemic Sclerosis serological and clinical subtypes

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Complement component 4 (C4), encoded by C4A and C4B within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6, regulates the immune response and clears immune complexes. Variable copy number (CN) of C4 genes and retroviral HERV‐K element influence its function.

Adaptive Machine Learning Framework for Optimizing the Affinity Purification of Adeno‐Associated Viral Vectors

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adeno‐associated viral (AAV) vectors for gene therapy are becoming integral to modern medicine, providing therapeutic options for diseases once deemed incurable. Currently, viral vector purification is a critical bottleneck in the gene therapy industry, impacting product efficacy and safety as well as accessibility and cost to patients ...

Establishment of a Molecular Serotyping Scheme and a Multiplexed Luminex-Based Array for Enterobacter aerogenes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Serotyping based on surface polysaccharide antigens is important for the clinical detection and epidemiological surveillance of pathogens. Polysaccharide gene clusters (PSgcs) are typically responsible for the diversity of bacterial surface ...

Effect of soiling agents on disinfection efficacy of a pulsed‐xenon UV lamp towards Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

Improvement of EPO Transgene Detection From Polymeric Dried Blood Spots for Antidoping Application

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This article presents an optimized protocol for gene doping detection. Starting from one spot DBS (20 μL), concentrated DNA was obtained and real‐time PCR parameters were adjusted for increased detection. Robust detection of 5000 copies/mL of transgene was validated for polymeric device TASSO M‐20.
