Fetomaternal alloimmunity as a cause of liver disease
Smyk, D.; Grammatikopoulos, T.; Daponte, A.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2011)Fetomaternal alloimmune disease has traditionally been associated with haematological disease such as fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopaenia and Rh haemolytic anaemia, but is now known to also be organ specific. Alloimmune ... -

(2004)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent for enteric non-A, non-B hepatitis. Transmission is mainly via the fecal-oral route but the possibility of an additional parenteric transmission has been raised. Patients ... -

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture for flow cytometric analysis of phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases
Mavropoulos, A.; Smyk, D.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2012)Lymphocyte activation and fine tuning of downstream signaling circuits for the regulation of cytokine expression are critical for a successful immune response. Hence, technical protocols permitting simultaneous testing of ... -
