Glypican-3 Is Associated With Impaired Outcome in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer mostly occurring in elderly patients, with increased incidence in case of immunosuppression. MCC is related to the Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) in 80% of cases. Immune checkpoint inhibitors provide sustained benefit in about 50% of MCC patients with advanced disease. More...

Regulatory T Cells in Leprosy Maintain Anti-Inflammatory Function

Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an intracellular acid-fast bacillus and is complicated by episodes of inflammation called leprosy reactions. Leprosy reactions are important causes of nerve damage and illness. More...

Recombinant Antigens Assessed for Serological Diagnosis of Syphilis

Syphilis is a chronic multisystemic disease caused by infection with the spirochete Treponema pallidum and acquired usually via sexual exposure or via vertical mother–fetus transmission or by blood transfusions. An estimated 18 million cases worldwide and 5.6 million new cases occur annually. More...

Maternal Antibodies Can Protect Infants from Cytomegalovirus

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common congenital infection and a leading cause of stillbirth, neurodevelopmental impairment, and pediatric hearing loss worldwide. Antibodies that summon virus-engulfing white blood cells may play an important role in protecting infants from potentially serious congenital infection with HCMV. More...

Highly Sensitive Thyroglobulin Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay Evaluated

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most frequent endocrine malignancy. Standard treatment of DTC is thyroidectomy plus, for high risk cases, radioactive iodine ablation therapy, and pharmacological suppression of TSH. More...

Glycans on CD4+ T Cells Impact HIV Susceptibility

High-parameter single-cell phenotyping has enabled in-depth classification and interrogation of immune cells, but to date has not allowed for glycan characterization. Living cells have a sugar coating. These sugars include molecules called glycans, which help cells, interact with other biological entities. More...

Anti-Double Stranded DNA Antibodies Diagnose Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid antibodies (anti-dsDNA Abs) embrace antibodies with a wide spectrum of fine molecular specificities that are produced persistently in the context of true autoimmunity or transiently in context of infections or other clinical conditions. More...
