Biophysical characterization of V3-lipopeptide liposomes influencing HIV-1 infectivity
Rizos, A. K.; Baritaki, S.; Tsikalas, I.; Doetschman, D. C.; Spandidos, D. A.; Krambovitis, E. (2007)The V3-loop of the HIV-1 gp120 alters host cell immune function and modulates infectivity. We investigated biophysical parameters of liposome constructs with embedded lipopeptides from the principle neutralizing domain of ... -
CX3CR1 receptor is up-regulated in monocytes of coronary artery diseased patients: Impact of pre-inflammatory stimuli and renin-angiotensin system modulators
Apostolakis, S.; Krambovitis, E.; Vlata, Z.; Kochiadakis, G. E.; Baritaki, S.; Spandidos, D. A. (2007)Fractalkine/CX3CR1 pathway is considered a major modulator of atherosclerosis. In the present study, expression of CX3CR1 on PBMCs/monocytes of healthy individuals and coronary artery diseased patients was initially assessed ... -
Evaluation of GenoType Mycobacteria Direct Assay in Comparison with Gen-Probe Mycobacterium tuberculosis Amplified Direct Test and GenoType MTBDRplus for Direct Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Clinical Samples
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Spandidos, D. A. (2009)Three molecular assays were evaluated for the direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria in 125 respiratory and 22 nonrespiratory samples. The overall sensitivities obtained were as follows: GenoType ... -
K-ras mutation, HPV infection and smoking or alcohol abuse positively correlate with esophageal squamous carcinoma
Lyronis, I. D.; Baritaki, S.; Bizakis, I.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2008)The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK (MAPK) signal transduction cascade is an important mediator of a number of cellular fates including growth, survival and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of B-raf, Kirsten-ras ... -
Mycobacterial species diversity at a general hospital on the island of Crete: First detection of Mycobacterium lentiflavum in Greece
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kourbeti, I. S.; Michelaki, H.; Baritaki, M.; Alevraki, G.; Papadomanolaki, E.; Tsafaraki, E.; Tsouri, A.; Baritaki, S.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2007)The objective of the present study was to investigate the diversity of mycobacterial isolates in a general hospital in Crete, Greece. 48 positive Lowenstein-Jensen cultures over a 3-y period were analysed by means of ... -
Mycobacterium arupense pulmonary infection: Antibiotic resistance and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Liakou, V.; Zerva, L.; Spandidos, D. A. (2010)Mycobacterium arupense is a novel mycobacterium species. It was first identified from clinical specimens in 2006 and since then there have been only two reports of its recovery from clinical samples. In the present case ... -
Mycobacterium thermoresistibile: Case report of a rarely isolated mycobacterium from Europe and review of literature
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Zerva, L.; Spandidos, D. A. (2009)Mycobacterium thermoresistibile is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium strongly associated with human infections. Since 1966, there have only been six reports of its isolation from clinical samples. We report on the first case ... -
Report of 2 indigenous cases of leprosy from a European country: use of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of hsp65 gene for identification of Mycobacterium leprae directly from a clinical sample
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Zerva, L.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2009)In this article, we report on 2 indigenous cases of leprosy detected in a European country. We also report on the use of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of hsp65 gene for rapid ... -
