Peripheral blood cytokine profiling during pregnancy and post‐partum periods. Am J Reprod Immunol 2010; 64: 411–426 Problem Pregnancy requires that the maternal immune system adapt to prevent rejection of fetal semi‐allograft. This immunologic adaptation may contribute pregnancy‐related alterations in disease susceptibility severity infections from viral pathogens such...
Current evidence supports the notion that amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) plays a major role in neurotoxicity observed brain Alzheimer's disease. However, signal transduction mechanisms involved still remain unknown. In present work, we analyzed effect of protein kinase C (PKC) on some members Wnt signaling pathway and its implications for Abeta neurotoxicity. Activation PKC by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate protected rat hippocampal neurons from toxicity. This was accomplished inhibition...
Influenza virus infection is a major public health burden worldwide. Available vaccines include the inactivated intramuscular trivalent vaccine and, more recently, an intranasal live attenuated influenza (LAIV). The measure of successful vaccination with systemic rise in immunoglobulin G (IgG) level, but for LAIV no such correlate has been established.Seventy-nine subjects were given FluMist. Blood was collected prior to and 3 days 30 after vaccination. Nasal wash Responses measured...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effects of gestational age and other maternal factors on immunologic responses to influenza vaccination. METHODS: Antepartum postpartum women receiving vaccination as part routine clinical care were enrolled through four consecutive seasons (starting October 2006 January 2010). Immunologic trivalent inactivated vaccine monovalent H1N1 assessed well influencing responsiveness. Serum samples obtained at baseline 4–8 weeks postvaccination. RESULTS: Two...
Post-exposure highly potent human monoclonal antibodies target Andes hantavirus glycoprotein in a hamster cardiopulmonary syndrome model.
Here we aim to describe early mutational events across samples from publicly available SARS-CoV-2 sequences the sequence read archive and GenBank repositories. Up until 27 March 2020, downloaded 50 illumina datasets, mostly China, USA (WA State) Australia (VIC). A total of 30 datasets (60%) contain at least a single founder mutation most variants are missense (over 63%). Five-point mutations with clonal (founder) effect were found in next-generation sequencing samples. Sequencing North...
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) patients who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can suffer lung injury, or even death. Early identification of severe disease is essential in order to control COVID-19 and improve prognosis. Oxidative stress (OS) appears play an important role pathogenesis; we therefore conceived a study the potential discriminative ability serum biomarkers with ARDS those mild moderate (non-ARDS). 60 subjects were enrolled single-centre, prospective cohort consecutively...
The effects of the expression Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) on distribution, dynamics, and signaling properties PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) were studied in rat osteosarcoma cells ROS 17/2.8. NHERF1 had a dramatic effect subcellular distribution PTH1R, promoting substantial relocation to regions plasma membrane located very close proximity cytoskeletal fibers. Direct interactions with PTH1R cytoskeleton required for these effects, because they abolished by 1) mutations that...
Satisfaction with the inhaler is an important determinant of treatment adherence in patients asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, few studies have compared these 2 groups to identify factors associated satisfaction inhaler. To assess compare or COPD determine variables high satisfaction. A multicenter, cross-sectional study 816 (406 410 COPD) was conducted. assessed Feeling Inhaler (FSI-10) questionnaire. All participants completed Test Adherence Inhalers either...
Despite SARS-CoV-2 being a "novel" virus, early detection of anti-spike IgG in severe COVID-19 patients may be caused by the amplification humoral memory responses against seasonal coronaviruses. Here, we examine this phenomenon characterizing non-hospitalized convalescent individuals across spectrum severity. We observe that disease severity positively correlates with levels, cross-reactivity other betacoronaviruses (β-CoVs), and FcγR activation. Analysis targeting β-CoV-conserved...
The production of phosphatidic acid plays a crucial role in the activation ERK cascade. This was linked to binding phosphatidate specific polybasic site within kinase domain Raf-1. Here we show that promotes phosphorylation intact cells but does not activate Raf vitro. suppressor Ras (KSR) contains sequence homologous Direct synthetic peptides derived from sequences domains Raf-1 and KSR demonstrated by spectroscopic techniques. specificity these interactions confirmed using lipids mutated...
The fluorescent properties of the amino acid tryptophan make it a useful tool for fluorometric assays. Because fluorescence is remarkably sensitive to polarity environment, can be used determine affinity tryptophan-containing peptides phospholipid vesicles varying compositions. Here, we describe method using binding affinities derived from proteins Raf-1 and KSR-1 small unilamellar containing phosphatidic acid. extrapolated measure other or lipid vesicles.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic has left researchers scrambling to identify the humoral immune correlates of protection from COVID-19. To date, antibody mediated virus neutralization have been extensively studied. However, extent that non-neutralizing functions contribute anti-viral responses are ill defined. In this study, we profiled anti-spike subtype/subclass responses, along with and antibody-dependent natural killer cell in 83 blood samples collected between 4 201 days...
The role of phospholipase D (PLD) in the regulation traffic PTH type 1 receptor (PTH1R) was studied Chinese hamster ovary cells stably transfected with a human PTH1R (CHO-R3) and rat osteosarcoma 17/2.8 (ROS) cells. PTH(1-34) increased total PLD activity by 3-fold CHO-R3 2-fold ROS Overexpression wild-type (WT) PLD1 WT-PLD2 basal but not Ligand-stimulated greatly WT-PLD1 WT-PLD2.

EBNA3C is an EBV-encoded nuclear protein, essential for proliferation of EBV infected B-lymphocytes. Using amino acids 365-545 in a yeast two hybrid screen, we found interaction with the Growth Arrest and DNA-damage Gadd34. When both proteins are overexpressed, Gadd34 can interact cytoplasmic compartments. Amino 483-610 Gadd34, including PP1a interaction, HSV-1 ICPγ34.5 homology domains, required interaction. Furthermore, lost mutant (509 DVIEVID 515→AVIAVIA), that abolishes coactivation...
