Seventy-one "negative" randomized control trials were re-examined to determine if the investigators had studied large enough samples give a high probability (greater than 0.90) of detecting 25 per cent and 50 therapeutic improvement in response. Sixty-seven greater 10 risk missing true improvement, with same risk, could have missed improvement. Estimates 90 confidence intervals for each trial showed that 57 these trials, potential was possible, 34 Many therapies labeled as "no different from...

The CC chemokine eotaxin, identified in guinea pigs and also recently mice, may be a key element for the selective recruitment of eosinophils to certain inflamed tissues. Using partial mouse eotaxin CDNA probe, human gene was cloned found 61.8 63.2% identical at amino acid level pig eotaxin. Human protein strong specific eosinophil chemoattractant vitro an effective when injected into skin rhesus monkey. Radiolabeled used identify high affinity receptor on (0.52 nM Kd), expressed 4.8 x 10(4)...

In gram-negative bacterial pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, cell-to-cell communication via the N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules is involved in cell population density-dependent control of genes associated with virulence. This phenomenon, termed quorum sensing, relies upon accumulation AHLs to a threshold concentration at which target structural are activated. By using biosensors capable detecting range we observed that, cultures Y....

After growth of gonococci in the presence cytidine monophospho-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (CMP-NANA), their 4.5-kD lipooligosaccharide (LOS) component was increased by approximately 400 daltons, whereas LOS strains lacking were unaffected. Expression mAb-defined epitopes on decreased grown CMP-NANA, and treatment with neuraminidase reversed this affect. Gonococci incubated human PMNs also had expression 4.5-kD+ epitopes. A detergent extract incorporated radiolabeled NANA LOS, suggesting a...

A low-M r factor which induces gonoccocal resistance to complement-mediated serum killing has been partially purified from lysates of mixed red and buffy coat cells human blood. The were dialysed against Tris buffer for 24 h at 25 °C with the diffusate being continuously recycled through a column QAE-Sephadex A25. After elution in an NaCl gradient, active fractions both desalted further on Sephadex G10. second fractionation A25 desalting G10 preceded purification by repeated high-pressure...

The virulent influenza virus clone 7a produced a greater level of apoptosis in MDCK cells compared with the attenuated strain A/Fiji. In both cases, could be partially blocked by treatment three anti-neuraminidase compounds [4-amino-(GR121158A) and 4-guanidino-(GG167; Zanamivir) 2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid 2,3-dehydro-2-deoxy-N-acetylneuraminic (DANA)] when they were given to during attachment/entry phase, but not subsequent this phase. contrast, GG167, which does enter cells, did...

The effect of suppression fever on viral levels in nasal washes ferrets infected with either two clones (7a, virulent; 64d, attenuated) the recombinant influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34#x2013;A/England/939/69 (H3N2) was studied. febrile response reduced by shaving or treating them sodium salicylate, which had no noticeable inflammatory response. For both clones, significantly more shed whose suppressed, and decreased less rapidly than untreated those treatments were ineffective.
