Antibody titers after a third dose of the SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine in immunocompromised adults in Greece: Is a fourth dose necessary?
(2022)Real-world data suggest that protection against COVID-19 declines a few months after vaccination, particularly in the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Our study aimed to analyze the humoral response induced by a ... -
Association between Helicobacter pylori infection and Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A meta-analysis
(2020)Background: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a Gram-negative bacterium, considered to trigger autoimmune gastrointestinal disorders. This pathogen has also been linked to the autoimmune sequelae in extra-gastrointestinal ... -
Deciphering anti-MOG IgG antibodies: Clinical and radiological spectrum, and comparison of antibody detection assays
(2020)IgG antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) detected by cell based assays (CBA) have been identified in a constantly expanding spectrum of CNS demyelinating disorders. However, a universally accepted CBA ... -
Detection of Antibodies Against Toxoplasma gondii in Filter Paper-Dried Blood Dot Spots Compared with Serum in Pigs and Assessment of Variation Associated with Packed Cell Volume
(2022)The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody detection in serum and filter paper (FP) blood spots using the indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay (IFA) and to evaluate ... -
Evaluation of Two Chemiluminescent and Three ELISA Immunoassays for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies: Implications for Disease Diagnosis and Patients’ Management
(2020)The estimation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies is possibly the best approach to accurately establish the number of infected individuals and the seroprevalence of COVID-19 within a population. Thus, several commercial ... -
Importance of colostrum IgG antibodies level for prevention of infection with Cryptosporidium parvum in neonatal dairy calves
(2020)Cryptosporidiosis is one of the most common zoonosis worldwide, causing intestinal infection to both humans and livestock. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the level of anti-C. parvum IgG antibodies transferred ... -
Imported Chikungunya fever case in Greece in June 2014 and public health response
(2016)We report about the first imported case of Chikungunya fever in Greece in a Greek traveler returning from the Dominican Republic and the associated public health response. We investigated the case and performed focused ... -
In human cell cultures, everolimus is inferior to tacrolimus in inhibiting cellular alloimmunity, but equally effective as regards humoral alloimmunity
(2017)Purpose: Acute cellular rejection is the major cause of immune-mediated graft failure early in the course of kidney transplantation, whereas chronic antibody-mediated rejection is a major contributor to graft loss in the ... -
Increased immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus UL83 in systemic sclerosis
(2017)Objective. To study immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), since HCMV has been put forward as a candidate infectious cause. Methods. Eighty four patients with SSc (67 females; ... -
Investigation of the Role of the European Brown Hare in the Epidemiology of Bacterial Zoonotic Pathogens: A Serological and Molecular Survey in Greece
(2020)The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Bartonella spp, Brucella spp, Coxiella burnetii, and Francisella tularensis in European Brown hares (Lepus europaeus) hunter harvested during 2-year hunting periods ... -
