Virulence and immunogenicity of genetically defined human and porcine isolates of M. avium subsp. hominissuis in an experimental mouse infection.
liver and mycobacteria specific spleen cell IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-17 production as well as serum antibody responses were analyzed. Isolates varied in virulence, with human and porcine isolates sharing MST22 ...
Is a Health Interview Survey an appropriate tool to assess domestic violence?
Studying item non-response on the question on domestic violence and its association with socio-demographic and health characteristics compared with victims of domestic violence can contribute to this. ...
Health crisis due to infectious and communicable diseases: European preparedness and response tools in an international context
general concept of national and international surveillance in order to provide a prepared response in the event of crisis. This paper provides an inventory of the relevant laws, guidelines and tools in ...
Characterization of two recombinant HVT-IBD vaccines by VP2 insert detection and cell-mediated immunity after vaccination of specific pathogen-free chickens.
Using molecular techniques, the VP2 gene was detected in various organs, providing a method to monitor vaccine uptake. rHVT- IBD vaccination induced CMI responses in specific pathogen-free chickens at ...
Innate signaling by mycolate esters of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and relevance for development of adjuvants for subunit vaccines
immune responses Mycolic Acids Trehalose dimycolate Tuberculosis Abstract: Tuberculosis remains among the most deadly health threats to humankind. This povertyrelated disease, caused by bacteria of the ...
Sample substitution can be an acceptable data-collection strategy: the case of the Belgian Health Interview Survey.
J Public Health (2017) Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Substitution of non-participating households is used in the Belgian Health Interview Survey (BHIS) as a method to obtain the predefined net sample size. Yet, ...
Zona pellucida gene mRNA expression in human oocytes is related to oocyte maturity, zona inner layer retardance and fertilization competence.
response resulted in a noninvasive oocyte fertilization prediction model. LARGE SCALE DATA: Not applicable. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: This is a retrospective study and the relation of oocyte mRNA ...
PKC epsilon-dependent calcium oscillations associated with metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 prevent agonist-mediated receptor desensitization in astrocytes.
response of astrocytes to glutamate remains largely unknown. Considering that kinases are frequently involved in the regulation of G protein-coupled receptors, we have examined a putative link between the ...
The ADVANCE Code of Conduct for collaborative vaccine studies.
additional reading. The concept of the study team is introduced as a key component of the ADVANCE Code of Conduct with a core set of roles and responsibilities. It is hoped that adoption of the ADVANCE Code of ...
Age-Dependent Differences in Pseudorabies Virus Neuropathogenesis and Associated Cytokine Expression.
and an associated immune response in the olfactory bulb. IMPORTANCE: It is well known that alphaherpesvirus infections of humans and animals result in more severe clinical disease in newborns than in ...
