Anti-phospholipid human monoclonal antibodies inhibit CCR5-tropic HIV-1 and induce beta-chemokines.
(J Exp Med, 2010-04-12)Traditional antibody-mediated neutralization of HIV-1 infection is thought to result from the binding of antibodies to virions, thus preventing virus entry. However, antibodies that broadly neutralize HIV-1 are rare and ... -
Development of a contemporary globally diverse HIV viral panel by the EQAPOL program.
(J Immunol Methods, 2014-07)The significant diversity among HIV-1 variants poses serious challenges for vaccine development and for developing sensitive assays for screening, surveillance, diagnosis, and clinical management. Recognizing a need to develop ... -
Diagnosis of partial body radiation exposure in mice using peripheral blood gene expression profiles.
(PLoS One, 2010-07-12)In the event of a terrorist-mediated attack in the United States using radiological or improvised nuclear weapons, it is expected that hundreds of thousands of people could be exposed to life-threatening levels of ionizing ... -
Differential inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and TZM-bl cells by endotoxin-mediated chemokine and gamma interferon production.
(AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses, 2010-03)Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) is a frequent contaminant of biological specimens and is also known to be a potent inducer of beta-chemokines and other soluble factors that inhibit HIV-1 infection in vitro. Though ... -
Early hematopoiesis inhibition under chronic radiation exposure in humans.
(Radiat Environ Biophys, 2010-05)The major goal of this study was to identify and quantitatively describe the association between the characteristics of chronic (low-dose rate) exposure to (low LET) ionizing radiation and cellularity of peripheral blood ... -
Establishment and maintenance of a PBMC repository for functional cellular studies in support of clinical vaccine trials.
(J Immunol Methods, 2014-07)A large repository of cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) samples was created to provide laboratories testing the specimens from human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) vaccine clinical trials the material ... -
Gene expression signatures that predict radiation exposure in mice and humans.
(PLoS Med, 2007-04)BACKGROUND: The capacity to assess environmental inputs to biological phenotypes is limited by methods that can accurately and quantitatively measure these contributions. One such example can be seen in the context of exposure ... -
Leukopak PBMC sample processing for preparing quality control material to support proficiency testing programs.
(J Immunol Methods, 2014-07)External proficiency testing programs designed to evaluate the performance of end-point laboratories involved in vaccine and therapeutic clinical trials form an important part of clinical trial quality assurance. Good clinical ... -
Screening the human exome: a comparison of whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing.
(Genome Biol, 2010)BACKGROUND: There is considerable interest in the development of methods to efficiently identify all coding variants present in large sample sets of humans. There are three approaches possible: whole-genome sequencing, ... -
Setting objective thresholds for rare event detection in flow cytometry.
(J Immunol Methods, 2014-07)The accurate identification of rare antigen-specific cytokine positive cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after antigenic stimulation in an intracellular staining (ICS) flow cytometry assay is challenging, ... -
The Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) multi-site quality assurance program for cryopreserved human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
(J Immunol Methods, 2014-07)The Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) consortium was established to determine the host and virus factors associated with HIV transmission, infection and containment of virus replication, with the goal of advancing ... -
Tissue-specific genetic control of splicing: implications for the study of complex traits.
(PLoS Biol, 2008-12-23)Numerous genome-wide screens for polymorphisms that influence gene expression have provided key insights into the genetic control of transcription. Despite this work, the relevance of specific polymorphisms to in vivo expression ...
