Lentiviral vector induces high-quality memory T cells via dendritic cells transduction.
in immune cells and minimal proximal enhancers to improve vector safety. This lentiviral vector efficiently transduces major dendritic cell subsets in vivo. With a mycobacterial immunogen, we observed ...
HPV DNA genotyping, HPV E6*I mRNA detection, and p16INK4a/Ki-67 staining in Belgian head and neck cancer patient specimens, collected within the HPV-AHEAD study
DNA-negatives of the other HNC-sites were tested for the presence of type-specific HPV RNA and p16 over-expression. RESULTS: The highest HPV DNA prevalence was observed in OPC (36.4 %), and was significantly ...
Making the case for strong health information systems during a pandemic and beyond.
CONCLUSIONS: The strengths and shortcomings of European HIS that have been observed during the COVID-19 crisis highlight the need for strong HIS beyond the crisis. The experiences reported leave as a central ...
Recognition by Dendritic Cells Negatively Regulates Allergic Lung Inflammation through a TLR2/MyD88 Pathway.
eosinophil recruitment in the BAL and higher Th2 cytokine production compared with mice sensitized with wild-type or MALT1 BMDC s. This exacerbation was not observed when MyD88 BMDC s were pulsed with, ...

Enantiomeric fraction of hexabromocyclododecanes in foodstuff from the Belgian market
animal and was not the result of the food item being in contact with technical HBCDD. Non-racemic chiral signatures were also observed for β- and γ-isomers. We conclude that, depending on their dietary ...
Update of the risk assessment of nickel in food and drinking water
lowest‐observed‐adverse‐effect‐level of 4.3 μg Ni/kg bw was selected as the reference point. The margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied and an MOE of 30 or higher was considered as being indicative of a low health concern. The ...
Risk assessment of nitrate and nitrite in feed
of 2.0 mg nitrate/kg bw per day in pigs’ feeds indicate a low risk for adverse health effects, when compared with an identified no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 410 mg nitrate/kg bw per day, ...
Risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato‐derived products
Panel identified a lowest‐observed‐adverse‐effect level of 1 mg total potato GA s/kg body weight (bw) per day as a reference point for the risk characterisation following acute exposure. In humans, no ...
Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluoroalkyl substances in food
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/risk-human-health-related-presence-perfluoroalkyl-substances-food
animals, toxicokinetics and observed concentrations in human blood, the CONTAM Panel decided to perform the assessment for the sum of four PFAS s: PFOA, PFNA, PFH xS and PFOS. These made up half of the lower ...
