• LightCycler® 480 Instrument: High-throughput Genotyping for TLR-8 SNPs
  

  Determining frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in large populations is of great interest in different fields of molecular medicine, including pharmacogenetics, risk profiling, and candidate gene testing. Several SNPs within innate immunity genes have been shown to play a role in complex human diseases. Among them, SNPs within Toll-like Receptor (TLR) genes are known to influence susceptibility to infectious diseases. more

• Viruses, Vol. 5, Pages 1143-1152: Induced Degradation of Tat by Nucleocapsid (NC) via the Proteasome Pathway and Its Effect on HIV Transcription

  Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV-1 Tat protein upregulates transcriptional transactivation. The nucleocapsid protein NC of HIV-1 is a component of virion and plays a key role in genome packaging. Herein, we have de more

• Post‐Marketing Observational Study on 5% Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy (Alphaglobin®/Flebogamma®) in Secondary Immunodeficiency with Recurrent Serious Bacterial Infections

  Abstract Secondary hypogammaglobulinemia is one of the factors responsible for the increased susceptibility to infection in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study reports the experience with Flebogamma® (formely Alphaglobin®) 5% intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) solution in secondary im more

• CMV infected or not CMV infected: That is the question

  Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is widespread in the human population. Normally, in adolescents and adults, prior exposure to CMV can readily be determined by IgG assays. However, in individuals where antibody production is impaired, such as patients with common variable immunodeficiency disease o more
