Molecular serum markers of liver fibrosis.

Biomarker insights

Liu T, Wang X, Karsdal MA, Leeming DJ, Genovese F.
PMID: 22872786
Biomark Insights. 2012;7:105-17. doi: 10.4137/BMI.S10009. Epub 2012 Jul 23.

Fibrosis is a hallmark histologic event of chronic liver diseases and is characterized by the excessive accumulation and reorganization of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The gold standard for assessment of fibrosis is liver biopsy. As this procedure has various...

A comparison of epitope repertoires associated with myasthenia gravis in humans and nonhuman hosts.

Autoimmune diseases

Vaughan K, Kim Y, Sette A.
PMID: 23243503
Autoimmune Dis. 2012;2012:403915. doi: 10.1155/2012/403915. Epub 2012 Dec 02.

Here we analyzed the molecular targets associated with myasthenia gravis (MG) immune responses, enabled by an immune epitope database (IEDB) inventory of approximately 600 MG-related epitopes derived from 175 references. The vast majority of epitopes were derived from the...

Reactive oxygen species in organ-specific autoimmunity.

Auto- immunity highlights

Di Dalmazi G, Hirshberg J, Lyle D, Freij JB, Caturegli P.
PMID: 27491295
Auto Immun Highlights. 2016 Dec;7(1):11. doi: 10.1007/s13317-016-0083-0. Epub 2016 Aug 04.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been extensively studied in the induction of inflammation and tissue damage, especially as it relates to aging. In more recent years, ROS have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Here, ROS accumulation...

Comparison of the Protective Efficacy of Neutralizing Epitopes of 2009 Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Hemagglutinin.

Frontiers in immunology

Peng B, Peng N, Zhang Y, Zhang F, Li X, Chang H, Fang F, Wang F, Lu F, Chen Z.
PMID: 28912784
Front Immunol. 2017 Aug 31;8:1070. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01070. eCollection 2017.

The 2009 H1N1 influenza (Pdm09) pandemic has been referred to as the first influenza pandemic of the twenty-first century. There is a marked difference in antigenicity between the pandemic H1N1 virus and past seasonal H1N1 viruses, which allowed the...

Classification of self-assembling protein nanoparticle architectures for applications in vaccine design.

Royal Society open science

Indelicato G, Burkhard P, Twarock R.
PMID: 28484626
R Soc Open Sci. 2017 Apr 26;4(4):161092. doi: 10.1098/rsos.161092. eCollection 2017 Apr.

We introduce here a mathematical procedure for the structural classification of a specific class of self-assembling protein nanoparticles (SAPNs) that are used as a platform for repetitive antigen display systems. These SAPNs have distinctive geometries as a consequence of...

KIR repertory in patients with hematopoietic diseases and healthy family members.

BMC hematology

Sugioka DK, Gonçalves CE, Bicalho MD.

BMC Hematol. 2016 Sep 29;16:25. doi: 10.1186/s12878-016-0064-6. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Since the discovery of specific histocompatibility, literature has associated genes involved in the immune response, like the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA), with a better prognosis in transplantation. However, other non-HLA genes may also influence the immune process, such...

Enhanced protective antibody to a mutant meningococcal factor H-binding protein with low-factor H binding.

JCI insight

Granoff DM, Giuntini S, Gowans FA, Lujan E, Sharkey K, Beernink PT.
PMID: 27668287
JCI Insight. 2016 Sep 08;1(14):e88907. doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.88907.

Meningococcal factor H-binding protein (FHbp) is an antigen in 2 serogroup B meningococcal vaccines. FHbp specifically binds human and some nonhuman primate complement FH. To investigate the effect of binding of FH to FHbp on protective antibody responses, we...

An avian-origin influenza H7N9 virus epidemic occurred in China in 2013-2014, in which >422 infected people suffered from pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock. H7N9 viruses belong to the H7 subtype of avian-origin influenza viruses (AIV-H7). Hemagglutinin (HA)...

Cross-reactive dengue human monoclonal antibody prevents severe pathologies and death from Zika virus infections.

JCI insight

Kam YW, Lee CY, Teo TH, Howland SW, Amrun SN, Lum FM, See P, Kng NQ, Huber RG, Xu MH, Tan HL, Choo A, Maurer-Stroh S, Ginhoux F, Fink K, Wang CI, Ng LF, Rénia L.
