5. 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 …

6. 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 …

7. Type I and type IV cytolethal distending toxin genes are framed with lambdoid prophage genes in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli

   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 …

8. 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 …

9. 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 …

10. 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 …

11. 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 …

13. Recombinant porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV-A/C): A new risk for xenotransplantation?

    2008 - PERVs are integrated in the genome of all pigs. Some of them infect human cells and represent therefore a potential risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells or organs. Three replication-competent …

14. Inzidenz der Clostridium difficile-assoziierten Diarrhö: Erste Ergebnisse aus dem CDAD-Modul des Krankenhaus-Infektions-Surveillance-Systems

15. Infrared spectroscopy in the identification of microorganisms

16. Burden of dizziness and vertigo in the community

    2008 - Background  Dizziness and vertigo are common, however, the cause often remains unexplained. The percentage of vertigo of vestibular origin in individuals with unselected dizziness has not been well …

17. “Gently Rough”: The Vaccine Potential of a Salmonella enterica Regulatory Lipopolysaccharide Mutant

    2008 - Background.  An alternative to multivalent vaccines could be to construct strains capable of conferring broad protection through shared antigens. Down-regulation of immunodominant major antigens has …

18. Targeting virulence traits: potential strategies to combat extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli infections

    2008 - Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are able to colonize, invade and induce disease in body niches outside the gastrointestinal tract. The emergence of (multi)resistant ExPEC variants …

19. The choice of cutoffs for obesity and the effect of those values on risk factor estimation

    2008 - Several studies have examined risk factors for overweight and obesity. However, inconsistent results have been observed for estimations of some risk factors, such as the infant feeding method, and for …

20. Phenotypic screening, transcriptional profiling, and comparative genomic analysis of an invasive and non-invasive strain of Candida albicans

    2008 - Background Invasion of host tissue by the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans is an important step during the development of candidosis. However, not all C. albicans strains possess the same …
