In utero activation of fetal memory T cells alters host regulatory gene expression and affects HIV susceptibility
(Academic Press, 2012)In utero priming to malaria antigens renders cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) more susceptible to productive HIV infection in vitro in the absence of exogenous stimulation. This provides a unique model to better understand ... -
Dicarbonyl (η5-cyclopentadienyl)(hexamethylenetetramine-κN1) iron (II) tetrafluoridoborate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2012)In the structure of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C6H12N4)-(CO)2]BF4, the arrangement around the FeIIatom corresponds to that of a three-legged piano stool. The cyclopenta-dienyl ligand occupies three coordination sites ... -
Reduced systemic bicyclo‐prostaglandin‐E2 and cyclooxygenase‐2 gene expression are associated with inefficient erythropoiesis and enhanced uptake of monocytic hemozoin in children with severe malarial anemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., 2012)In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children aged < 48 months and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb) <6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of ... -
