Existence of exocytotic hemifusion intermediates with a lifetime of up to seconds in type II pneumocytes.

21 Oct 2009 Exocytosis proceeds through prefusion stages such as hemifusion, but hemifusion is still an elusive intermediate of unknown duration. Using darkfield and fluorescence microscopy in ATII (alveolar type II) cells containing large secretory vesicles ... Read more...

The basophil activation test in immediate-type drug allergy.

30 Jul 2009 Diagnosis of drug allergy involves first the recognition of sometimes unusual symptoms as drug allergy and, second, the identification of the eliciting drug. This is an often difficult task, as the clinical picture and underlying pathomechanisms are ... Read more...

Essential role of platelet-activating factor receptor in the pathogenesis of Dengue virus infection.

28 Jul 2009 Severe dengue infection in humans causes a disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, increased levels of cytokines, increased vascular permeability, hemorrhage, and shock. Treatment is supportive. Activation of platelet-activating factor (PAF) ... Read more...
