Males aged over 50 years old were found to have low mean titre antibodies. Most donors had both IgM and IgG ABO antibodies. The prevalence of haemolysins in our population was 3.5%. Conclusion: Most of our O blood donors had a high ABO antibody titre but a low prevalence of haemolysins...
BT outbreaks often result in severe economic consequences because of effects such as decreased milk production, reproductive losses, abor- tions, stillbirths and deaths, in addition to the costs of treatment, diag- nosis, control measures and trade restriction (Rushton & Lyons, 2015). BT has ...
Our phylogenetic analyses suggested that XBB emerged through the recombination of two cocirculating BA.2 lineages, BJ.1 and BM.1.1.1 (a progeny of BA.2.75), during the summer of 2022. XBB.1 is the variant most profoundly resistant to BA.2/5 breakthrough infection sera to date and is ...
Several dissimilarities are noted between KD and PIMS-TS/ MIS-C. First, the entire clinical depiction is different. Every paediatric patient does not show features of KD, and none show all of them. While, most of KD cases appearing in children are less than 5 years of age and mostly at...
Circulation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB has resulted in the emergence of XBB.1.5, a new Variant of Interest. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that XBB.1.5 evolved from XBB.1 by acquiring the S486P spike (S) mutation, subsequent to the acquisition of a no

Lack of reaction with the V3 peptides may be due to low titers of V3 antibodies, suboptimal consensus sequences for the group M, O, or N peptides, or infection with divergent HIV strains. To test this latter possibility, we sequenced 17 untypable samples which represented 11.1% of the ...
We included patients with at least five antibodies assessed as being within the serologic domain of the IPAF criteria, so patients with inadequate serologic tests or incomplete medical information were excluded. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images and histopathologic findings were evaluated ...
The first case of COVID-19 was detected in Brazil on 25 February 2020. We report and contextualize epidemiological, demographic and clinical findings for COVID-19 cases during the first 3 months of the epidemic. By 31 May 2020, 514,200 COVID-19 cases, including 29,314 deaths, had been...
Treatment of ovarian cancer cells with chemotherapy drugs and the Transwell co-culture system was consistent with our previous studies with minor modification.4,20 The human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 and A2780 were seeded into 6- (105 cells per well) or 24-well (2.5 × 104 cells...
