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 ...

Severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) [PDF]
SCID consists of a group of genetic disorders characterized by a block in T lymphocyte differentiation that is variably associated with abnormal development of other lymphocyte lineages, i.e. B or NK lymphocytes or more rarely of the myeloid lineage [1,2].

The emergence and evolution of the research fronts in HIV/AIDS research [PDF]
In this paper, we have identified and analyzed the emergence, structure and dynamics of the paradigmatic research fronts that established the fundamentals of the biomedical knowledge on HIV/AIDS. A search of papers with the identifiers "HIV/AIDS", "Human Immunodeficiency Virus", "HIV-1" and "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome" in the Web of Science ...

Bilateral extensive CMV retinitis in a sick child – Harbinger of severe combined immunodeficiency
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is a marker of severe cellular immunodeficiency. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) must be considered in infants presenting with CMV retinitis in a non-HIV setting.

Tree-based Subgroup Discovery In Electronic Health Records: Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects for DTG-containing Therapies [PDF]
The rich longitudinal individual level data available from electronic health records (EHRs) can be used to examine treatment effect heterogeneity. However, estimating treatment effects using EHR data poses several challenges, including time-varying confounding, repeated and temporally non-aligned measurements of covariates, treatment assignments and ...

A Novel Homozygous JAK3 Mutation Leading to T-B+NK– SCID in Two Brazilian Patients
We report a novel homozygous JAK3 mutation in two female Brazilian SCID infants from two unrelated kindreds. Patient 1 was referred at 2 months of age due to a family history of immunodeficiency and the appearance of a facial rash.

Prenatal exclusion of severe combined immunodeficiency [PDF]
By analysing leucocyte subpopulations with monoclonal antisera, we have shown that the diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency can be made soon after birth. The technique of staining has been adapted for small blood samples, and normal ranges of leucocyte subpopulations have been established for fetal blood taken from mid-trimester pregnancies ...

Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome

A high-quality severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) rat bioresource.
Immunodeficient animals are valuable models for the engraftment of exogenous tissues; they are widely used in many fields, including the creation of humanized animal models, as well as regenerative medicine and oncology.
