The identification of cell-surface antigens whose expression is limited to primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is of major value in the identification, isolation, and characterization of candidate stem cells in human hemopoietic tissues. Based on the observation that bone marrow stromal cells...
Next, we sought to identify correlates of protection. Consistent with a recent study11, we found a significant correlation between serum nAb titers measured 2 weeks before challenge or on the day of challenge (2 and 4 weeks after final vaccination, respectively) and the rate of acquisition of ...
While the use of DBS samples would increase the accessibility of HCV testing, there is a need to ensure that test specificity and sensitivity with DBS samples are comparable to those with venous plasma samples. In this study, we examined whether DBS whole blood samples could be used as the s...
Antibody screening should be done as the transplant work-up is being completed, quarterly while the patient is on the waiting list, and then immediately upon identification of a suitably matched kidney. The method to detect the strength and specificity of anti-HLA antibodies has evolved from the...
