Development of Th1 and Th2 Populations and the Nature of Immune Responses to Hepatitis B Virus DNA Vaccines Can Be Modulated by Codelivery of Various Cytokine Genes

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that application of a cytokine gene in a DNA vaccine formulation can influence the differentiation of Th cells as well as the nature of an immune response and may thus provide a strategy to improve its prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteomics and Immunological Analysis of a Novel Shrimp Allergen, Pen m 2

TL;DR: A novel allergen from Penaeus monodon, designated Pen m 2, was identified by two-dimensional immunoblotting using sera from subjects with shrimp allergy, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of the peptide digest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing immunity by dietary consumption of a probiotic lactic acid bacterium (Bifidobacterium lactis HN019): Optimization and definition of cellular immune responses

TL;DR: Dietary consumption of the probiotic bacterium B. lactis HN019 enhanced immune function of two different types of leucocytes; the degree of enhancement was increased by consuming B. milkis in an oligosaccharide-rich substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiologic Features of Kawasaki Disease in Taiwan, 2003-2006

TL;DR: The overall incidence of Kawasaki disease was 69 in 100000 children <5 years of age between 2003 and 2006 in Taiwan, comparable with the incidence of 66 in 100,000 children between 1996 and 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid down-Regulates the Gene Expression of Osteoarthritis-Associated Cytokines and Enzymes in Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes from Patients with Early Osteoarthritis

TL;DR: HMW-HA may have a structure-modifying effect for OA by down-regulation of aggrecanase-2 in FLS and also has an anti-inflammatory effect by down -regulation of TNF-alpha, IL-8, and iNOS in F LS.
