   2008 - To evaluate sex differences in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease progression before (pre-1997) and after (1997–2006) introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy, the authors used …

2. Gene expression of the human Torque Teno Virus isolate P/1C1

   2008 - Torque Teno Virus (TTV) has been assigned to the floating genus Anellovirus. TTV ssDNA genomes have a size of 3.6 to 3.8 kb and display up to 30% nucleotide diversity. The pathogenic potential of TTV …

3. Kex2 protease converts the endoplasmic reticulum α1,2-mannosidase of Candida albicans into a soluble cytosolic form

   2008 - Cytosolic α-mannosidases are glycosyl hydrolases that participate in the catabolism of cytosolic free N-oligosaccharides. Two soluble α-mannosidases (E-I and E-II) belonging to glycosyl hydrolases …

4. Surveillance for Rare Infectious Diseases: is one passive data source enough for Haemophilus influenzae?

   2008 - Background: The completeness of a compulsory reporting system of systemic Haemophilus influenzae infections in children in Germany is studied by means of cross-linking registry data from three sources …

11. Knockdown of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) expression by PERV-specific shRNA in transgenic pigs

    2008 - Background: Xenotransplantation using porcine cells, tissues or organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). More than 50 viral copies have been …

12. Use of psychotropic drugs and alcohol among Non-Institutionalized elderly adults in Germany

    2008 - INTRODUCTION: Little is known about the use of psychotropic drugs and alcohol among non-institutionalised elderly adults in Germany. METHODS: Using data from the 1998 German National Health Interview …

    2008 - Five types of cytolethal distending toxin (CDT- I to V) have been identified in Escherichia coli. In the present study we have cloned and sequenced the cdt-IV operon and flanking region from a porcine …

14. A new and rapid genotypic assay for the detection of neuraminidase inhibitor resistant influenza A viruses of subtype H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1

    2008 - The neuraminidase of influenza viruses is the target of the inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir. Recent reports on influenza viruses with reduced susceptibility to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAI) are …

15. A comparison of the active surveillance of scrapie in the European Union

    2008 - The abattoir and the fallen stock surveys constitute the active surveillance component aimed at improving the detection of scrapie across the European Union. Previous studies have suggested the …

16. Cellular and humoral immunogenicity of hamster polyomavirus-derived virus-like particles harboring a mucin 1 cytotoxic T-cell epitope

    2008 - In this study, we examined hamster polyomavirus (HaPyV) major capsid protein VP1-derived virus-like particles (VLPs) as a carrier for a human tumor-associated cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope. The …

17. Is porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) transmission still relevant?

    2008 - Xenotransplantation using porcine cells or organs may be associated with the risk of transmission of zoonotic microorganisms. Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) pose a potentially high risk …
