Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fixatives and tissue processing on the content and integrity of nucleic acids.
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the methods of human tissue acquisition, fixation, and preservation and the parameters of procurement and fixation that affect the quality of the tissues at the molecular level are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Cytomegalovirus Inhibits Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Expression By Disruption of the Jak/Stat Pathway
Daniel M. Miller,Brian M. Rahill,Jeremy M. Boss,Michael Dale Lairmore,Joan E. Durbin,W. James Waldman,Daniel D. Sedmak +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both a clinical isolate and a laboratory strain of HCMV inhibit inducible MHC class II expression at the cell surface and at RNA level in human endothelial cells and fibroblasts.
Journal Article
Isolation from human placenta of the IgG transporter, FcRn, and localization to the syncytiotrophoblast: implications for maternal-fetal antibody transport.
James L. Leach,Daniel D. Sedmak,Jeanne M. Osborne,Brian M. Rahill,Michael Dale Lairmore,Clark L. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the placental hFcRn heterodimer may transport IgG to the fetus by a mechanism in which maternal IgG is pinocytosed nonspecifically and then carried to fetal tissues by a pH gradient from acidic endosomes to the pH-neutral basolateral surface of the syncytiotrophoblast.
Journal Article
Human cytomegalovirus inhibits IFN-alpha-stimulated antiviral and immunoregulatory responses by blocking multiple levels of IFN-alpha signal transduction.
TL;DR: This investigation is the first to report inhibition of type I IFN signaling by a herpesvirus, and it is proposed that this novel immune escape mechanism is a major means by which HCMV is capable of escaping host immunity and establishing persistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel mechanism of inhibition of cytomegalovirus by the experimental immunosuppressive agent leflunomide.
W J Waldman,Deborah A. Knight,Nell S. Lurain,Daniel M. Miller,Daniel D. Sedmak,James W. Williams,Anita S. Chong +6 more
TL;DR: Findings imply that leflunomide, an effective immunosuppressive agent, shows potential to concurrently attenuate a major complication of Immunosuppression, CMV disease, by a novel mechanism of antiviral activity.
