Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are associated with upper and lower respiratory illnesses, including severe infections causing hospitalization in both children...
House dust mites (HDM) are a globally important source of allergen responsible for the sensitization of more than 50% of allergic patients.
The proteins examined were the homologues of the P4, P6, P26, and D15 proteins of Haemophilus influenzae.
Activation of receptors of the innate immune system is a critical step in the initiation of immune responses.
More than 50% of allergic patients have house dust mite (HDM) allergy.
We aimed to measure the antibody development to 2 bacteria in a birth cohort at high risk of allergic disease, and to assess which responses are asthma-linked.
Tropomyosins represent clinically relevant seafood allergens but the role of mite tropomyosin
Scabies infestations are difficult to diagnose clinically and current serologic tests have less than 50% accuracy...
Neonates have heightened susceptibility to infections. The biological mechanisms are incompletely understood but thought to be related to age-specific adaptations in immunity due to resource constraints during immune system development and growth. We present here an extended analysis of our proteomics study of peripheral blood-plasma from a study of healthy full-term newborns delivered vaginally, collected at the day of birth and on day of life (DOL) 1, 3, or 7, to cover the first week of life. The plasma proteome was characterized by LC-MS using our established 96-well plate format plasma proteomics platform.
Safe, highly curative, short course, direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapies are now available to treat chronic hepatitis C. DAA therapy is freely available to all adults chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Australia. If left untreated, hepatitis C may lead to progressive hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
