Pathogenesis of Severe Clinical Pictures of Influenza A (H1 N1). Some answers and new doubts. by Alfredo Darío Espinosa Brito, Ángel Julio Romero Cabrera

“…Among those groups are the people between the ages of 10 and 60 years, seemingly healthy, pregnant and postpartum women, and obese and asthmatic patients, but until now a specific medical comorbidity has not been evidenced in the 40 to 50% of the fatal cases. In this work we offer possible answers to why these groups of risk suffer from severe complications of the illness, starting from an analysis of the triad: agent-guest-environment. …”

Modifications to rhesus macaque TCR constant regions improve TCR cell surface expression. by Lori V Coren, Matthew T Trivett, Jorden L Welker, James A Thomas, Robert J Gorelick, Emek Kose, Taina T Immonen, Kelli Czarra, Christine M Fennessey, Charles M Trubey, Jeffrey D Lifson, Adrienne E Swanstrom

“…Preclinical animal models are valuable tools to optimize engineering designs and methods, and to evaluate the potential for off-target tissue injury. To further develop rhesus macaque models for TCR based cellular immunotherapy, we tested methods for improving cell surface expression of rhesus macaque TCR in rhesus macaque primary cells by generating five alternative TCRαβ constant region constructs in the context of a SIV Gag-specific TCR: 1. human codon optimized rhesus macaque (RH); 2. …”

Immune Dysfunction in Rett Syndrome Patients Revealed by High Levels of Serum Anti-N(Glc) IgM Antibody Fraction by Anna Maria Papini, Francesca Nuti, Feliciana Real-Fernandez, Giada Rossi, Caterina Tiberi, Giuseppina Sabatino, Shashank Pandey, Silvia Leoncini, Cinzia Signorini, Alessandra Pecorelli, Roberto Guerranti, Solange Lavielle, Lucia Ciccoli, Paolo Rovero, Claudio De Felice, Joussef Hayek

“…The significant difference in IgM titers between RTT patients and healthy subjects in the CSF114(Glc) assay (P=0.001) suggests that this procedure specifically detects a fraction of IgM antibodies likely to be relevant for the RTT disease. These findings offer a new insight into the mechanism underlying the Rett disease as they unveil the possible involvement of the immune system in this pathology.…”

Adolescent reports of subjective socioeconomic status: An adequate alternative to parent-reported objective and subjective socioeconomic status? by Erin K Davisson, Fernanda C Andrade, Jennifer Godwin, Rick Hoyle

“…One key difference in measures of SES concerns whether participants relay objective information-for example, years of education, household income-or subjective perceptions of socioeconomic status, either with or without reference to others or society. Although parents are often considered the best source of SES information-especially objective SES-within families, interviewing parents within the context of adolescent research is costly, time-consuming, and not always feasible. …”
