METHODS. All military blood donors between 2017-2023 at the Armed Service Blood Bank Center-San Antonio were screened for HCV by both antibody tests and nucleic acid tests, with positive antibody screening tests confirmed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Donors who screened ...
(fluorescent treponemal antibody, treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay, enzyme immunoassay, Western blot), were obligatory. In recent decades, new methods were elaborated (e.g., BioPlex total screen, tests with β2-GPI-dependent anticardiolipin antibody, the ARCHITECT syphilis treponema pallidum ...
Full size image The clones were freeze-stocked, and osteogenic differentiation was induced by Alizarin Red S staining for 16 d to screen the cells for their osteogenic potential (Supplementary FigureS1A). Three barely stained clones were selected as the low clones (individually designated L1, L2, ...

HBsAb Antibody to HBsAg, indicator of recovery/immunity to HBV infection HBeAg Viral product secreted in blood, marker of infectivity, active replication (though absent in precore mutants) HBeAb Antibody to HBeAg, denoting decreased infectivity HBcAg Core antigen (viral capsid), intracellular and not...
Basal/human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is resistant to monoclonal antibody (herceptin) treatment. There are currently only three basal/HER2+ breast cancer cell lines available, but they are not from Chinese pop
It is critical to find specific and effective preventive and therapeutic strategies, like antibody-based vaccines for COVID-19, that target various SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Furthermore, it is crucial to screen patients with serologic tests during the course of infection to manage and control the infe...
The blood had been donated a median of 3 months before HIV antibodies were detected in the donors. From a total of 3 million donations since testing has been introduced, the risk of HIV transmission in tested blood is 1:1 million in our donor population where the HIV antibody prevalence (...
but nearly 20 years later most vaccine development efforts have focused on a small number of highly diverse vaccine candidates identified using traditional vaccinology approaches that identify antibody targets in immune sera, rather than a more comprehensive, genome-level approach. These highly immunogenic...
Exosomes from CAFs significantly stimulated the migration and invasion of OCUM-12 and NUGC-3 cells, which was inhibited by anti-CD9 antibody or CD9-siRNA. MMP2 expression of OCUM-12 and NUGC-3 cells was significantly decreased by CD9-siRNA. 116 CD9-positive cases were significantly ...
