Bayesian validation of a serum and milk ELISA for antibodies against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in Greek dairy goats across lactation
(2014)We validated a commercial (Idexx Pourquier, Montpellier, France) serum and milk indirect ELISA that detects antibodies against Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in Greek dairy goats. Each goat was sampled 4 ... -
Consequences of infection pressure and protein nutrition on periparturient resistance to Teladorsagia circumcincta and performance in ewes
(2009)The consequences of protein nutrition on the degree of periparturient relaxation of immunity to nematode parasites in sheep may be more pronounced at higher levels of infection pressure. Here, we investigated interactive ... -
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 ... -
The existence of two types of proteasome, the constitutive proteasome and the immunoproteasome, may serve as another layer of protection against autoimmunity
(2012)Negative selection of CD8 single positive thymocytes is based on the presentation through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I pathway of peptides derived from degradation of self-proteins by the constitutive ... -
Impaired degradation and aberrant phagocytosis of necrotic cell debris in the peripheral blood of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome
(2015)Aberrant removal of necrotic debris is considered a feature with inflammatory consequences in SLE. Herein, primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) patients were investigated for the first time for the capacity of their sera to ... -
Influence of dietary mushroom Agaricus bisporus on intestinal morphology and microflora composition in broiler chickens
(2010)In this study, we evaluated the intestinal morphology and bacteria populations in broiler chickens fed for six weeks diets that contained different amount of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus. Ninety day-old female chicks ... -
Lipopolysaccharide and hypoxia significantly alters interleukin-8 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 production by human fibroblasts but not fibrosis related factors
(2011)Besides extracellular matrix production, fibroblasts are able to produce various cytokines. Their ubiquitous position makes fibroblasts appropriate cells for sensing various noxious stimuli and for attracting immune cells ... -
A mathematical model of HIV dynamics in the presence of a rescuing virus with replication deficiency
(2011)Recently, an enzyme (Cre recombinase) has been developed by directed evolution that successfully removes the HIV genome from the nuclear DNA of infected cells. To explore this idea further, we hypothesized that a replication ... -
p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)-mediated autoimmunity: Lessons to learn from ANCA vasculitis and pemphigus vulgaris
(2013)Evidence is beginning to accumulate that p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cellular and humoral autoimmune responses. The exact mechanisms and ... -
Plasma Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase and Arginase Type I May Contribute to Decreased Blood T-Cell Count in Hemodialysis Patients
(2012)Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and decreased T-cell number may contribute. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and arginase type I (ARG) catabolize tryptophane and arginine, respectively, ... -
Toll Like Receptor 9 (TLR9) Polymorphism G520R in Sheep Is Associated with Seropositivity for Small Ruminant Lentivirus
(2013)Infectious diseases of sheep are of major economic importance causing direct and indirect losses. Among the major sheep infectious agents are Small Ruminant Lentivirus, Chlamydophila abortus and Mycobacterium avium subsp. ... -
Toll-Like Receptor 4 Gene (TLR4), but Not TLR2, Polymorphisms Modify the Risk of Tonsillar Disease Due to Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae
(2011)Tonsillar disease (recurrent tonsillitis and/or tonsillar hypertrophy) is one of the most common human disorders, with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus [GAS]) and Haemophilus influenzae representing ...
