Comparison of interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase expression in the subretinal fluid and the vitreous during proliferative vitreoretinopathy: Correlations with extent, duration of RRD and PVR grade
(2014)Introduction: The full extent of IL-6 involvement in PVR pathophysiology has not yet been comprehensively investigated. The aim of this study was the comparison of the IL-6 effect on MMP expression between SRF and the ... -
Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
(2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT OF CANINE TRACHEAL COLLAPSE WITH STANOZOLOL: A DOUBLE BLINDED, PLACEBO CONTROL CLINICAL TRIAL
(2011)The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of stanozolol in the treatment of tracheal collapse (TC) in dogs, which is the analogous disease to tracheomalacia (TM) in humans. Twenty-two dogs with endoscopically ... -
Cord blood as a source of non-senescent lymphocytes for tumor immunotherapy
(2010)While proof of concept that the immune system can be harnessed to attack cancer cells has been established, only a minority of patients are cured with immunotherapeutic regimens designed to enhance host autologous immunity. ... -
Crohn's disease-specific pancreatic autoantibodies are specifically present in ruminants with paratuberculosis: Implications for the pathogenesis of the human disease
(2013)Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) induces paratuberculosis (ptb) in ruminants and has clinical and histological features resebling Crohn's disease (CD). Pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) targeting ... -
Cross-genotype-reactivity of the immunodominant HCVCD8 T-cell epitope NS3-1073
(2008)The HCV-specific HLA-A2-restricted NS3(1073) epitope is one of the most frequently recognized epitopes in hepatitis C. NS3(1073)-specific T-cell responses are associated with clearance of acute HCV-infection. Therefore ... -
CUZD1 and Anti-CUZD1 Antibodies as Markers of Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
(2013)CUZD1, the CUB, and zona pellucida-like domains-containing protein 1, is a newly identified antigen of pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) giving a reticulogranular pattern in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, and in ... -
Cytokine effects on cell survival and death of A549 lung carcinoma cells
(2013)Purpose: IL-13, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta have various effects on lung cancer growth and death, but the signaling pathways mediating these effects have not been extensively analyzed. Therefore, the effects of IL-13, TNF-alpha ... -
Determination of antigenic properties of vaccine derived poliovirus strains
(2010)In this study, the immunity level of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40-year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 11 recombinant and three ... -
Diagnostic relevance and clinical significance of the new enhanced performance M2 (MIT3) ELISA for the detection of IgA and IgG antimitochondrial antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)Background/aims: Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are the serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of a new M2 enhanced performance enzyme-linked immunosorbent ... -
Diagnostic value, clinical utility and pathogenic significance of reactivity to the molecular targets of Crohn's disease specific-pancreatic autoantibodies
(2011)Pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) giving characteristic staining patterns of the exocrine pancreas by indirect immunoflourescence appear to be specific markers of Crohn's disease (CrD), being present in approximarely 30% of ... -
Differences in biofilm formation and virulence factors between clinical and fecal enterococcal isolates of human and animal origin
(2012)The present study investigated the possible correlation between carriage of the virulence genes esp and fsrb, production of hemolysin and gelatinase and biofilm formation in human vs. animal enterococcal isolates. A ... -
Disease-specific cross-reactivity between mimicking peptides of heat shock protein of mycobacterium gordonae and dominant epitope of E2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase is common in Spanish but not British patients with primary biliary cirrhosis
(2004)Previous studies on Spanish patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) have shown extensive, disease-specific cross-reactivity between the 65-kDa heat shock protein (hsp65) of Mycobacterium gordonae and pyruvate ... -
Domestication does not narrow MHC diversity in Sus scrofa
(2013)The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a multigene family of outstanding polymorphism. MHC molecules bind antigenic peptides in the peptide-binding region (PBR) that consists of five binding pockets (P). In this ... -
Double reactivity against actin and alpha-actinin defines a severe form of autoimmune hepatitis type 1
(2006)Anti-filamentous actin antibodies characterize autoimmune hepatitis type 1 (AIH-1). Recently, the binding domain of alpha-actinin on actin was shown to be a predominant epitope. To test this reactivity, an anti-alpha-actinin ... -
Dynamics of pneumococcal carriage among day-care center attendees during the transition from the 7-valent to the higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Greece
(2014)Background: In Greece recently, higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) replaced the 7-valent (PCV7); the 10-valent (PCV10) became available in May 2009 and the 13-valent (PCV13) in June 2010. Methods: We ...
