Immunogenetic Factors Associated with Severe Respiratory Illness Caused by Zoonotic H1N1 and H5N1 Influenza Viruses by Jennifer Juno, Keith R. Fowke, Yoav Keynan

“…By better defining the role of genetic variability in influenza infection and identifying key polymorphisms that impair the host immune response or correlate with protection, we will be able to better identify at-risk populations and new targets for therapeutic interventions and vaccines. This paper will summarize known immunogenetic factors associated with susceptibility or severity of both pH1N1 and H5N1 infections and will also identify genetic pathways and polymorphisms of high relevance for future study.…”

Differences of IL-1β Receptors Expression by Immunocompetent Cells Subsets in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Alina A. Alshevskaya, Julia A. Lopatnikova, Nadezhda S. Shkaruba, Oksana A. Chumasova, Aleksey E. Sizikov, Aleksander V. Karaulov, Vladimir A. Kozlov, Sergey V. Sennikov

“…The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of IL-1β membrane-bound receptors (IL-1R1 and IL-1R2) in terms of the percentage of receptor-positive cells and the number of receptors per cell in different subsets of immune cells in RA patients before and after a course of basic (excluding anticytokine) therapy and in healthy individuals. The resulting data indicate differences in the expression of IL-1β receptors among T cells, B cells, and monocytes in healthy volunteers and in rheumatoid arthritis patients. …”
