Pathogenetic mechanisms of the intracellular parasite Mycobacterium ulcerans leading to Buruli ulcer.

30 Oct 2009 The necrotising skin infection Buruli ulcer is at present the third most common human mycobacteriosis worldwide, after tuberculosis and leprosy. Buruli ulcer is an emergent disease that is predominantly found in humid tropical regions. There is no ... Read more...

Regions of differences encoded antigens as targets for immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis in humans.

29 Sep 2009 Tuberculosis is one of the major global health problems causing nearly 2 million deaths every year. It continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Accurate early diagnosis and proper treatment can control the ... Read more...

Blocking T cell co-stimulation using a CD80 blocking small molecule reduces delayed type hypersensitivity responses in rhesus monkeys.

29 Sep 2009 Blockade of co-stimulation signals between T cells and antigen-presenting cells could be an important approach for treatment of autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. Recently a series of small compound inhibitors which bind human CD80 (B7-1) ... Read more...
