Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Expert review of neurotherapeutics

Wakerley BR, Yuki N.
PMID: 26154996
Expert Rev Neurother. 2015;15(8):847-9. doi: 10.1586/14737175.2015.1065732. Epub 2015 Jul 08.

Over the past three decades much has been elucidated about the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of Guillain-Barré syndrome, the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis worldwide. Cross-reactivity between surface epitopes on the bacterium Campylobacter jejuni and peripheral nerve...

Antigen-specific immunotherapy of type 1 diabetes, typically via delivery of a single native β cell antigen, has had little clinical benefit to date. With increasing evidence that diabetogenic T cells react against multiple β cell antigens, including previously unappreciated...

Immunogenicity of a Multi-Epitope DNA Vaccine Encoding Epitopes from Cu-Zn Superoxide Dismutase and Open Reading Frames of .

Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease affecting several mammalian species that is transmitted to humans by direct or indirect contact with infected animals or their products. In cattle, brucellosis is almost invariably caused by

Alloantibody Generation and Effector Function Following Sensitization to Human Leukocyte Antigen.

Frontiers in immunology

Hickey MJ, Valenzuela NM, Reed EF.
PMID: 26870045
Front Immunol. 2016 Feb 04;7:30. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2016.00030. eCollection 2016.

Allorecognition is the activation of the adaptive immune system to foreign human leukocyte antigen (HLA) resulting in the generation of alloantibodies. Due to a high polymorphism, foreign HLA is recognized by the immune system following transplant, transfusion, or pregnancy...

In Silico Design of a Chimeric Protein Containing Antigenic Fragments of Helicobacter pylori; A Bioinformatic Approach.

The open microbiology journal

Mohammad N, Karsabet MT, Amani J, Ardjmand A, Zadeh MR, Gholi MK, Saffari M, Ghasemi A.
PMID: 27335622
Open Microbiol J. 2016 May 20;10:97-112. doi: 10.2174/1874285801610010097. eCollection 2016.

Helicobacter pylori is a global health problem which has encouraged scientists to find new ways to diagnose, immunize and eradicate the H. pylori infection. In silico studies are a promising approach to design new chimeric antigen having the immunogenic...

Automated glycan assembly of branched β-(1,3)-glucans to identify antibody epitopes.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)

Weishaupt MW, Hahm HS, Geissner A, Seeberger PH.
PMID: 28291272
Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Mar 23;53(25):3591-3594. doi: 10.1039/c7cc00520b.

β-(1,3)-Glucans exhibit immunomodulatory and anti-tumor effects. Since the isolation of pure β-(1,3)-glucan oligosaccharides from natural sources is complicated, especially when certain branching patterns are desired, chemical synthesis is frequently the only means of accessing these molecules. We report the...

Structural and Functional Characterization of Recombinant Isoforms of the Lentil Lipid Transfer Protein.

Acta naturae

Bogdanov IV, Finkina EI, Balandin SV, Melnikova DN, Stukacheva EA, Ovchinnikova TV.
PMID: 26483961
Acta Naturae. 2015 Jul-Sep;7(3):65-73.

The recombinant isoforms Lc-LTP1 and Lc-LTP3 of the lentil lipid transfer protein were overexpressed in E. coli cells. It was confirmed that both proteins are stabilized by four disulfide bonds and characterized by a high proportion of the α-helical...

Why Oats Are Safe and Healthy for Celiac Disease Patients.

Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland)

Gilissen LJWJ, van der Meer IM, Smulders MJM.
PMID: 29083384
Med Sci (Basel). 2016 Nov 26;4(4). doi: 10.3390/medsci4040021.

The water-insoluble storage proteins of cereals (prolamins) are called "gluten" in wheat, barley, and rye, and "avenins" in oat. Gluten can provoke celiac disease (CD) in genetically susceptible individuals (those with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 serotypes). Avenins...

A Brief Review of Computer-Assisted Approaches to Rational Design of Peptide Vaccines.

International journal of molecular sciences

Nandy A, Basak SC.
PMID: 27153063
Int J Mol Sci. 2016 May 04;17(5). doi: 10.3390/ijms17050666.

The growing incidences of new viral diseases and increasingly frequent viral epidemics have strained therapeutic and preventive measures; the high mutability of viral genes puts additional strains on developmental efforts. Given the high cost and time requirements for new...

Commercially available glutenases: a potential hazard in coeliac disease.

Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology

Krishnareddy S, Stier K, Recanati M, Lebwohl B, Green PH.
PMID: 28567117
Therap Adv Gastroenterol. 2017 Jun;10(6):473-481. doi: 10.1177/1756283X17690991. Epub 2017 Apr 02.

BACKGROUND: The only treatment for celiac disease (CD) is a gluten-free diet (GFD). However, there is interest among patients in a medical therapy to replace or help with a GFD. Therapies include gluten-degrading enzymes (glutenases). There are glutenases available...

Platelet (PLT) transfusion is indispensable to maintain homeostasis in thrombocytopenic patients. However, PLT transfusion refractoriness is a common life-threatening condition observed in multitransfused patients. The most frequent immune cause for PLT transfusion refractoriness is the presence of alloantibodies specific...
