Reduced humoral immune response after BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 messenger RNA vaccination in cancer patients under antineoplastic treatment.
cancer patients, RBD-binding antibody titers and NT50 were lower in the chemotherapy group {234.05 IU /ml [95% confidence interval (CI) 122.10-448.66] and 24.54 (95% CI 14.50-41.52), respectively} compared ...
Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy of Saliva Sampling Methods for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Reveals Differential Sensitivity and Association with Viral Load.
collection method for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diagnostics. Less invasive and simpler alternative sampling procedures, such as saliva collection, are desirable. We compared ...
Identification of Molds with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry: Performance of the Newly Developed MSI-2 Application in Comparison with the Bruker Filamentous Fungi Database and MSI-1.
identification programs (Bruker, MSI-1, and MSI-2). The MSI-2 application had a better identification performance at the species level than MSI-1 and Bruker, reaching 83.25% correct identifications, compared with ...
Intra- and inter-laboratory comparison of mDixon and FastFung broths for Malassezia antifungal susceptibility testing.
standardised AFST procedure, mainly because of the fastidious cultivation of these yeast. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the FastFung broth (FFB) to modified Dixon broth (mDIXB) for the in vitro AFST of ...
Use of health care services by people with substance use disorders in Belgium: a register-based cohort study
general practitioners (GP), psychiatrists, emergency departments (ED) and hospital admissions and to compare this frequency to the general population. Health Topics: Illegale drugs Ziekten en gezondheid in ...
Lentiviral vector induces high-quality memory T cells via dendritic cells transduction.
distinct functional signatures and memory phenotype in lentiviral vector- or Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5)-immunized mice, despite comparable antigen-specific CD8 T cell magnitudes. Compared to Ad5, lentiviral ...
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
compared to about 37.5 % and 44.0 % in OCC and LC, respectively. Estimation of the attributable fraction of an HPV infection in HNC was very similar for HPV RNA or p16 in addition to DNA-positivity; with 30 ...
Circulation of pertussis and poor protection against diphtheria among middle-aged adults in 18 European countries.
IgG- DTP specific antibodies. The proportion of sera with pertussis toxin antibody levels ≥100 IU /mL, indicative of recent exposure to pertussis was comparable for 13/18 countries, ranging between ...
Evaluating SARS-CoV-2 spike and nucleocapsid proteins as targets for antibody detection in severe and mild COVID-19 cases using a Luminex bead-based assay.
test for antibodies against multiple antigens and against other pathogens. Here, we compare the performance of spike (S) and nucleocapsid (NP) antigens for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG, IgM ...
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, ...
