Up-regulation of activating transcription factor-5 suppresses SAP expression to activate T cells in hemophagocytic syndrome associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection and immune disorders.

30 Sep 2008 Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a fatal, pro-inflammatory cytokine disorder that is associated with viral infections and immune disorders. Previously, we demonstrated that Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1) could down-regulate ... Read more...

Influence of HAART on the clinical course of HIV-1-infected patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: results of an observational multicenter study.

30 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of new cases, survival of HIV-1-infected patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and the characteristics of PML-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory ... Read more...

Developmental immunotoxicity (DIT) in drug safety testing: matching DIT testing to adverse outcomes and childhood disease risk.

30 Aug 2008 Developmental immunotoxicity (DIT) recently emerged as a significant concern for drug safety and was the topic of several recent scientific forums in Europe, North America and Asia. The heightened concern is based on several observations: 1) many ... Read more...
