Abstract
A 76-year-old man who was being treated for bronchial asthma and pulmonary emphysema by his family physician experienced dyspnea and was referred to our department with suspected pneumonia. The patient responded poorly to sulbactam/cefoperazone and clarithromycin. A cavity lesion appeared in the lef...

Abstract
The results evidenced that low sensitivity of ASCA and pANCA markers limits their use in IBD screening in the general population; however, their specificity may contribute to differentiation between CD and UC in IBD patients. Our study lends further support to the suggestion that serologic assessmen...

Abstract
We analyzed GalXM from acapsular serotype A and D strains by carbohydrate analysis and static and dynamic light scattering to determine mass, effective diameter, polydispersity, and diffusion coefficients. Multiangle laser light scattering showed that GalXM from C. neoformans var. grubii strain cap5...

Abstract
We failed in our initial effort to purify a prematurely developed Camelid-like E-tagged short scFv-K2 antibody that contained a complete variable region of the heavy chain and partial region of the light chain by using an anti-E-tag affinity column. To expedite the purification of this altered but i...

Abstract
We investigated an outbreak of coccidioidomycosis in a 12-person civilian construction crew that excavated soil during an underground pipe installation on Camp Roberts Military Base, California in October 2007. Ten (83.3%) workers developed symptoms of coccidioidomycosis; eight (66.7%) had serologic...

We previously reported the presence of an antibody which reacts to beta-glucan, anti-beta-glucan (BG) antibody, in human sera. In livestock and domestic pets, the antibody's response to fungal cell wall beta-glucan is little understood. In this study, we examined the existence and reactivity of anti...

We generated immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to H. capsulatum Hsp60. IgG1 and IgG2a MAbs significantly prolonged the survival of mice infected with H. capsulatum. An IgG2b MAb was not protective. The protective MAbs reduced intracellular fungal survival and increased phag...

We showed that the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) produces a specific and unique protein called antiphagocytic protein 1 (App1), which inhibits phagocytosis of Cn by alveolar macrophages (AMs). Phagocytosis of Cn by AMs occurs mainly through a complement- or Ab-mediated mechanism. Am...
