Sentences with phrase «in infected individuals»

Like most vaccines, this one works by raising antibodies in the infected individual.

They found that the risk for transmitting Ebola depends on the magnitude of viral load in an infected individual and the number of people with which the infected individual interacts.

Fortunately, that did not prove an issue in the phase 1 trial, which showed that a single infusion of the VRC01 antibody could suppress the blood plasma level of HIV in infected individuals not taking antiretroviral therapy.

The team's data emphasize the fact that influenza viruses exist in each infected individual — bird, human or ferret — as a population or «swarm» of genetically related, but distinct, mutants.

Human immunodeficiency virus - type 1 (HIV - 1) replicates actively in infected individuals, yet cells with intracellular depots of viral protein are observed only infrequently.

But a serendipitous discovery may someday give doctors a new countermeasure against the disease: Researchers report in tomorrow's Science that they have identified a possible mechanism of action for «lethal factor» (LF), a toxic protein produced by the anthrax bacillus that is thought to be one of the principal causes of death in infected individuals.

The test relies on a protein made by Zika virus that causes an immune response in infected individuals.

The study offers new information about LASV mutations and its replication in infected individuals that may help scientists understand how the virus causes infection and evades the immune response, and why clinical outcomes can differ so widely.

No single bnAb can protect against all the variants of HIV present in infected individuals.

Clinical samples from two groups of individuals from the south Pacific island of Mauke and from Ecuador — one group infected with filarial worms causing lymphatic filariasis and a second group infected with intestinal roundworms Ascaris — revealed increased levels of resistin in the infected individuals compared to those who were uninfected or immune.

Notably, the discovery of naturally occurring broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV and studies of their stimulation in infected individuals have opened new avenues in vaccine development.

Using mathematical analysis, the researchers showed that cell - cell transmission was substantially more prone to give rise to virus mutants that can escape immune control than free virus transmission and conclude that «this highlights the importance of controlling virus replication via the cell - cell transmission pathway even if the contribution of this transmission mode should prove to occur to a lesser extent than free virus spread in infected individuals.»

The samples confirmed that Th17 cells were increased in patients with measurable pathology whereas, in infected individuals with no overt symptoms, the Th17 cells were offset by T regulatory cells that inhibit inflammation.

Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes discovered that an enzyme called SMYD2 could be a new therapeutic target for flushing out the HIV that hides in infected individuals.

While antiretroviral drugs are generally successful in controlling the viral load in infected individuals, preventing the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), some viruses remain hidden for years and can be reactivated if patients stop their treatment.

Last year, this team published in the journal Nature the first mapping of co-evolution of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) and the viruses that induced them in an infected individual.

In fact, mycoplasma is not only responsible for respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia in children and adults, it can also trigger Guillain - Barré syndrome (GBS) in infected individuals.

FeLV belongs to a group of viruses known as «oncornaviruses» and these viruses have the ability to cause the development of tumours (cancer) in infected individuals.
