In the last few years there is a more frequent appearance of papers which suggest the viral etiology of juvenile diabetes mellitus, where the mumps virus is primarily pointed to as the etiological factor. Since there is a high incidence of diabetes in our Province as well as the presence of an
Preexisting infection with PVM or mumps virus does not prevent multiplication of the virus of influenza A or B in the same tissue. Similarly, pre-existing infection with one or another of the influenza viruses does not prevent multiplication of either PVM or mumps virus in the same tissue. The
The importance of virus structural proteins for the induction of virus-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (VDCC) was studied by means of monoclonal antibodies raised in mice against mumps virions. Antibodies against the viral glycoprotein bearing the haemagglutination and neuraminidase activities (HN)
Borrelia burgdorferi glycoconjugates with different oligosaccharide structures were characterized by a blotting technique with peroxidase-labelled lectins. The localization of surface carbohydrates was studied using electron microscopy with lectin-gold complexes. A high-mannose glycan structure was
204 healthy family members of 91 known diabetics were screened for abnormal carbohydrate tolerance (ACT). The prevalence of asymptomatic diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance were found to be 3.44% and 8.33% respectively. There was positive correlation in the prevalence of ACT and age of the
Mumps virus (MuV) is an important aerosol-transmitted human pathogen causing epidemic parotitis, meningitis, encephalitis, and deafness. MuV preferentially uses a trisaccharide containing α2,3-linked sialic acid as a receptor. However, given the MuV tropism toward glandular tissues and the central
Arachidonic acid (AA) is a precursor of eicosanoids, which influence human health and the in vitro activity of immune cells. We therefore examined the effects of dietary AA on the immune response (IR) of 10 healthy men living at our metabolic suite for 130 d. All subjects were fed a basal diet
While there are many reports of studies that fed arachidonic acid (AA) to animals, there are very few reports of AA feeding to humans under controlled conditions. This 130-d study was conceived as a controlled, symmetrical crossover design with healthy, adult male volunteers. They lived in the
