Citrulline as a marker for chemotherapy induced mucosal barrier injury in pediatric patients.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The currently used National Cancer Institute (NCI) adverse events criteria for mucosal barrier injury (MBI) are insufficient for use in children. We searched for objective, easily measurable indicators for MBI in children with cancer. ... Read more...

Carbohydrate recognition by the mannose-6-phosphate receptors.

30 Sep 2009 The two P-type lectins, the 46kDa cation-dependent mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P) receptor (CD-MPR), and the 300kDa cation-independent Man-6-P receptor (CI-MPR), are the founding members of the growing family of mannose-6-phosphate receptor homology ... Read more...

Anaphylaxis syndromes related to a new mammalian cross-reactive carbohydrate determinant.

29 Sep 2009 Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can rapidly progress and occasionally be fatal. In instances in which the triggering allergen is not obvious, establishing the cause of anaphylaxis is pivotal to long-term management. Assigning cause is ... Read more...
