Lipidomics identifies a requirement for peroxisomal function during influenza virus replication (Publications)
Influenza virus acquires a host-derived lipid envelope during budding, yet a convergent view on the role of host lipid metabolism during infection is lacking. Using a mass spectrometry-based lipidomic
Hydroxyurea: effect on growth, structure, and [3H]thymidine uptake of <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> procyclic culture forms (Publications)
Hydroxyurea (HU) in concentrations above 50 micrograms/ml reversibly inhibited cell division of Trypanosoma brucei brucei stock STIB 336 procyclic culture forms, but not growth of individual cells. Th
Sequence and diversity of T-cell receptor alpha <em>V</em>, <em>J</em>, and <em>C</em> genes of the owl monkey <em>Aotus nancymaae</em> (Publications)
We cloned and sequenced TcR alpha chain cDNA of three healthy Aotus nancymaae monkeys. Fifteen different TRAJ segments and 9 different TRAV genes were identified in the 29 rearrangements analyzed. As
Asymptomatic malaria infections: detectability, transmissibility and public health relevance (Publications)
Most Plasmodium falciparum infections that are detected in community surveys are characterized by low-density parasitaemia and the absence of clinical symptoms. Molecular diagnostics have shown that t
<em>Schistosomiasis mansoni</em> in the hamster: cellular and humoral immune responses to soluble egg antigens (SEA) (Publications)
Cellular and humoral immune responses to soluble egg antigens (SEA) were studied in the course of Schistosoma mansoni infection in the hamster. No immune response to SEA could be detected before the p
