Hepatitis B surface antibody imprinted poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester) particles were prepared for the purification of hepatitis B surface antibody from human plasma. N-methacryloyl-L-tyrosine methyl ester was chosen as a complexing agent for hepatitis B
Iodination of highly purified hepatitis A (HAV) virus results in the selective labeling of two viral polypeptides, which are identified as the the VP 1 and VP 2 capsid polypeptides. Based upon the kinetics of labeling, the exposed region of VP 1 appears to be more accessible to iodination, although
The nucleotide sequence corresponding to the P3 region of the hepatitis A virus (HAV) polyprotein genome was determined from cloned cDNA and translated into an amino acid sequence. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the genome-linked proteins (VPgs) of other picornaviruses with the predicted
Picornavirus 3C proteases (3Cpro) are cysteine proteases related by amino acid sequence to trypsin-like serine proteases. Comparisons of 3Cpro of hepatitis A virus (HAV) to those of other picornaviruses have resulted in prediction of active-site residues: histidine at position 44 (H44), aspartic
Lapatinib is an inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor type 1, with clinical activity in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. We present here a 60 year-old patient with metastatic breast cancer who presented
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), described less than 30 years ago by Karl Lennert and Herald Stein in Kiel, West Germany, is a T-cell or null non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with distinctive morphology (hallmark cells, prominent sinus and/or perivascular growth pattern), characteristic immunophenotype
Autoimmune hepatitis is a necroinflammatory process of liver, featuring interface hepatitis by T cells, macrophages and plasma cells that invade to periportal parenchyma. In this process a variety of cytokines is secreted and liver tissue undergoes fibrogenesis, that cause apoptosis of hepatocytes.
From the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of the sponge Hyrtios cf. erecta, collected from Fiji, two new sesterterpenes, 1 and 2, and the known compounds isodehydroluffariellolide (3), homofascaplysin A (4), and fascaplysin (5) were isolated. The structures of 1-5 were established employing 1D and 2D NMR
Viral hepatitis is a persisting concern. Outbreaks of hepatitis A occur in developed countries where only 10% to 20% of the population is seroprotected. The disease may cause fulminant liver failure and death. People who are targeted for vaccination include intravenous drug users, homosexuals, and
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma can arise from endometriosis; however, it is distinct from other types of epithelial ovarian carcinoma in terms of its clinicopathological and molecular features. Cancer antigen 125 lacks the sensitivity and specificity required for accurate clinical diagnosis of clear
The unprecedented global spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 is depicting the distressing pandemic consequence on human health, the economy as well as ecosystem services. So far novel coronavirus (CoV) outbreaks were associated with SARS-CoV-2 (2019), middle east
We recently reported an immune-modulatory role of conjugated bilirubin (CB) in hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. During this infection the immune response relies on CD4+ T lymphocytes (TLs) and it may be affected by the interaction of HAV with its cellular receptor (HAVCR1/TIM-1) on T cell surface.
