Jan Felix Drexler,Angelika Helmer,Heike Kirberg,Ulrike Reber,Marcus Panning,Marcel A. Müller,Katja Höfling,Bertfried Matz,Christian Drosten,Anna Maria Eis-Hübinger +9 more
TL;DR: Influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus RNA was detected by reverse transcription–PCR in 144 clinical samples from Bonn, Germany by a common rapid antigen–based test.
Journal ArticleDOI
T- and B-cell responses to different hepatitis C virus antigens in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection and in healthy anti- hepatitis C virus-positive blood donors without viremi

TL;DR: It is concluded that a benign course of HCV infection may be the consequence of the effective activation of T‐helper lymphocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis of hepatitis C virus isolates indicates a unique pattern of endemic infection in Cameroon.
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of core and NS5B gene sequences of 37 HCV strains sampled in Cameroon found a high level of genetic diversity of both genotypes 1 and 4, indicating a unique pattern of long-term HCV infection that has not been observed elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of influenza A(H1N1)v virus by real-time RT-PCR.
Marcus Panning,Markus Eickmann,Olfert Landt,M Monazahian,Stephan Ölschläger,Sigrid Baumgarte,Udo Reischl,Jürgen J. Wenzel,Hans-Helmut Niller,Stephan Günther,B Hollmann,Daniela Huzly,Jan Felix Drexler,Angelika Helmer,Stephan Becker,Bertfried Matz,Anna-Maria Eis-Hübinger,Christian Drosten +17 more
TL;DR: A novel real-time RT-PCR assay for influenza A(H1N1)v virus was set up ad hoc and validated following industry-standard criteria and proved its principle and might assist public health laboratories in the upcoming influenza pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of the HIV-protective CC chemokine receptor 5-Δ32/Δ32 genotype is increased in hepatitis C
Rainer P. Woitas,Golo Ahlenstiel,A. Iwan,Jürgen K. Rockstroh,Hans H. Brackmann,Bernd Kupfer,Bertfried Matz,Ruth Offergeld,Tilman Sauerbruch,Ulrich Spengler +9 more
TL;DR: The increased prevalence of CCR5-Δ32 homozygosity associated with increased viral loads in patients with chronic hepatitis C suggests that the C CR5- Δ32 mutation may be an adverse host factor in hepatitis C.
