Genetic diversity in mycobacterium ulcerans isolates from Ghana revealed by a newly identified locus containing a variable number of tandem repeats (Publications)
The molecular typing methods used so far for Mycobacterium ulcerans isolates have not been able to identify genetic differences among isolates from Africa. This apparent lack of genetic diversity amon
Therapeutic effects of whole-body devices applying pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF): a systematic literature review (Publications)
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) delivered by whole-body mats are promoted in many countries for a wide range of therapeutic applications and for enhanced well-being. However, neither the therapeu
Cytokeratin 8 is a suitable epidermal marker during zebrafish development (Publications)
We have cloned and characterized the zebrafish (Danio rerio) homologous cytokeratin 8 (zf-K8) cDNA. This cytokeratin belongs to the gene family of intermediate filaments and it is a component of the c
Comparison of analytical methods for the evaluation of antibody responses against epitopes of polymorphic protein antigens (Publications)
Surface exposed protein antigens of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum frequently harbor multiple dimorphic amino acid positions. These are associated with parasite immune evasion and represen
