Six hundred million people are at risk of infection by Schistosoma mansoni. MHC haplotypes have been reported to segregate with susceptibility to schistosomiasis in murine models. In humans, a major gene related to susceptibility/resistance to infection by S. mansoni (SM1) and displaying the mean fecal egg count as phenotype was detected by segregation analysis. This gene displayed a codominant...

BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure (CRF) leads in the majority of instances to end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy. Our interest was to evaluate the possible associations of HLA class I and class II antigens with ESRD independent of other factors, in Saudi Arabia population. METHODOLOGY A retrospective study to determine the HLA class I and class II polymorphisms ...

Exocytosis in yeast requires the assembly of the secretory vesicle soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (v-SNARE) Sncp and the plasma membrane t-SNAREs Ssop and Sec9p into a SNARE complex. High-level expression of mutant Snc1 or Sso2 proteins that have a COOH-terminal geranylgeranylation signal instead of a transmembrane domain inhibits exocytosis at a stage aft...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the association between KIR genes and the immunopathogenesis of leprosy. METHODS The types of KIR and HLA genes were evaluated by PCR-SSOP-Luminex in 408 patients with leprosy and 413 healthy individuals. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test and stepwise multivariate analysis. RESULTS There w...

For the 23rd KIR Exchange, 4 DNA samples (KDNA#89-92) were shipped to each laboratory on August 4, 2010. Sixty-one laboratories submitted their KIR typing results. The majority of the laboratories used either commercial or in-house developed sequence-specific primer (SSP) based PCR typing systems, and others used sequence-specific oligonucleotide probing (SSOP) method. The results for the 23rd ...

Despite recent technological progress in surgical guidance, current intraoperative assessment of tissue that should be removed (e.g., cancer) or avoided nerves) is still performed subjectively. Optical imaging a non-contact, non-invasive modality has the potential to provide feedback regarding condition living tissues by either an exogenously administered contrast agent endogenous constituents ...

background: cholecystitis is one of the major digestive diseases. its prevalence is particularly high in some populations. significant risk factors associated with cholecystitis include age, sex, obesity, diet, parity and type 2 diabetes. objective: to determine the association between hla-drb1 and cholecystitis. methods: this casecontrol study included forty iraqi arab patients who had cholecy...

The HLA-DRB1 gene was reported to be associated with anticitrullinated protein/peptide autoantibody (ACPA) production in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. A new classification of HLA-DRB1 alleles, reshaping the shared epitope (SE) hypothesis, was recently found relevant in terms of RA susceptibility and structural severity. We investigated the relevance of this new classification of HLA-DRB1 ...
