Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Increasing multidrug resistance in Enterococcus faecalis, a nosocomial opportunist and common cause of bacterial endocarditis, emphasizes the need for alternative therapeutic approaches such as immunotherapy or immunoprophylaxis. In an earlier study, we demonstrated the presence of antibodies in E. faecalis endocarditis patient sera to recombinant forms of 9 E. faecalis cell wall-anchored proteins; of these, we have now characterized an in vivo-expressed locus of 3 genes and an associated sortase gene (encoding sortase C; SrtC). Here, using mutation analyses and complementation, we demonstrated that both the ebp (encoding endocarditis and biofilm-associated pili) operon and srtC are important for biofilm production …

Little, Gerard P. Andrews, Gary Dorough, Ronald K. Taylor, Tibor Keler Oct 2006

Prophylaxis And Therapy Of Inhalational Anthrax By A Novel Monoclonal Antibody To Protective Antigen That Mimics Vaccine-Induced Immunity, Laura Vitale, Diann Blanset, Israel Lowy, Thomas O'Neill, Joel Goldstein, Stephen F. Little, Gerard P. Andrews, Gary Dorough, Ronald K. Taylor, Tibor Keler

Dartmouth Scholarship

The neutralizing antibody response to the protective antigen (PA) component of anthrax toxin elicited by approved anthrax vaccines is an accepted correlate for vaccine-mediated protection against anthrax. We reasoned that a human anti-PA monoclonal antibody (MAb) selected on the basis of superior toxin neutralization activity might provide potent protection against anthrax. The fully human MAb (also referred to as MDX-1303 or Valortim) was chosen from a large panel of anti-PA human MAbs generated using transgenic mice immunized with recombinant PA solely on the basis of in vitro anthrax toxin neutralization. This MAb was effective in prophylactic and postsymptomatic treatment of …

Immunological Study Of Febrile Fever: Serum Sialic Acid, Immunoglobulin Levels (Iga, Igg And Igm), Complement Factors (C3 And C4) In Patients With Typhoid Fever And Brucellosis, Ghassan Mohammad Sulaiman Sep 2006

Immunological Study Of Febrile Fever: Serum Sialic Acid, Immunoglobulin Levels (Iga, Igg And Igm), Complement Factors (C3 And C4) In Patients With Typhoid Fever And Brucellosis, Ghassan Mohammad Sulaiman

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever and brucellosis are frequent causes of bloodstream infections in many countries. The diagnosis of these infections is challenging because they can have diverse clinical manifestations with symptoms that overlap with a wide spectrum of other diseases. However, neither Widal nor Rose-Bengal agglutination assays are sufficiently sensitive, specific, or practical in areas of endemicity .In this study, it was undertaken to determine the sensitivity and specificity of clinical application of sialic acid in the evaluation of humoral immune response in patients with typhoid fever and brucellosis. Furthermore, the role of sialic acid (SA) was investigated as a …

Taking "Justice And Fairness" Seriously: Distributive Justice And The Takings Clause, Jeffrey M. Gaba Sep 2006

Taking "Justice And Fairness" Seriously: Distributive Justice And The Takings Clause, Jeffrey M. Gaba

ExpressO

Since the 1960 case of Armstrong v. United States, the Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that “the” purpose of the Takings Clause is to prevent burdens falling on individual landowners that should in “justice and fairness” be born by society as a whole. The essay argues that this embodies a concept of distributional justice and further argues that the Court has failed to adequately consider the implications of such a conception as the basis of Takings analysis. The essay, after describing the origins of the Armstrong principle, discusses four implications: first, the rejection of a rights- based conception of the …

In Vivo Mature Immunological Synapses Forming Smacs Mediate Clearance Of Virally Infected Astrocytes From The Brain, Carlos Barcia, Clare Thomas, James Curtin, Gwendalyn King, Kolja Wawrowsky, Marianela Candolfi, Weidong Xiong, Chunyan Liu, Kurt Kroeger, Olivier Boyer, Jerzy Kupiec-Weglinski, David Klatzmann, Maria Castro, Pedro Lowenstein

Articles

The microanatomy of immune clearance of infected brain cells remains poorly understood. Immunological synapses are essential anatomical structures that channel information exchanges between T cell–antigen-presenting cells (APC) during the priming and effector phases of T cells' function, and during natural killer–target cell interactions. The hallmark of immunological synapses established by T cells is the formation of the supramolecular activation clusters (SMACs), in which adhesion molecules such as leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 segregate to the peripheral domain of the immunological synapse (p-SMAC), which surrounds the T cell receptor–rich or central SMAC (c-SMAC). The inability so far to detect SMAC formation in …
