<em>Herpesvirus saimiri</em> transformed T cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells restimulate idential antigen-specific human T cell clones (Publications)
Panels of human antigen-specific T cell clones (TCC) have been established by limiting dilution using Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) subtype C transformed T cells as antigen presenting cells (APC). They sh
The absence of dyspnoea, cough and wheezing: a reason for undiagnosed airflow obstruction? (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis of obstructive lung disease (OLD) may be overlooked because of the poor correlation between the intensity of symptoms and the severity of airway obstruction (AO). Undiagnosed
Functional and structural similarity of Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells in humans and Aotus monkeys, a primate infection model for <em>Plasmodium falciparum... (Publications)
gammadelta T cells are implicated to play crucial roles during early immune responses to pathogens. A subset of human gammadelta T cells carrying the Vgamma9Vdelta2 TCR recognize small, phosphorylated
Pyrocoll, an antibiotic, antiparasitic and antitumor compound produced by a novel alkaliphilic streptomyces strain (Publications)
A new secondary metabolite was detected in the culture extract of Streptomyces sp. AK 409 by HPLC-diode-array screening. The metabolite was identified as pyrocoll, which is known to be a constituent o
Impact of vaccines given during pregnancy on the offspring of women consulting a travel clinic: a longitudinal study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Little is known on the impact of travel vaccinations during pregnancy on child outcomes, in particular on the long-term psychomotor development. The objectives of the study were (1) to est
Antiprotozoal activity of 1-phenethyl-4-aminopiperidine derivatives (Publications)
A series of 44 4-aminopiperidine derivatives was screened in vitro against four protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani, and Plasmodium falciparum).
Identification and characterization of a conserved, stage-specific gene product of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> recognized by parasite growth... (Publications)
We have identified a novel conserved protein of Plasmodium falciparum, designated D13, that is stage-specifically expressed in asexual blood stages of the parasite. The predicted open reading frame (O
