Journal ArticleDOI
Highly divergent hepaciviruses from African cattle
Victor M. Corman,Adam Grundhoff,Christine Baechlein,Nicole Fischer,Anatoly P. Gmyl,Robert Wollny,Dickson Dei,Daniel Ritz,Tabea Binger,Ernest Adankwah,Kwadwo Sarfo Marfo,Lawrence Annison,A. P. Annan,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie,Samuel Oppong,Paul Becher,Christian Drosten,Jan Felix Drexler +17 more
TL;DR: African cattle was investigated and previously unknown HVs at high prevalence and viral loads were discovered, suggesting an influence of the human-modified ecology of peridomestic animals on virus diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constitutive STAT3 phosphorylation and IL-6/IL-10 co-expression are associated with impaired T-cell function in tuberculosis patients.
Kirstin Harling,Ernest Adankwah,Alptekin Güler,Anthony Afum-Adjei Awuah,Louis Adu-Amoah,Ertan Mayatepek,Ellis Owusu-Dabo,Norman Nausch,Marc Jacobsen +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that constitutive pSTAT3 and high SOCS3 expression are influential factors that indicate impaired T-cell functions in tuberculosis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aberrant plasma IL-7 and soluble IL-7 receptor levels indicate impaired T-cell response to IL-7 in human tuberculosis
Christian Lundtoft,Anthony Afum-Adjei Awuah,Jens Rimpler,Kirstin Harling,Norman Nausch,Malte Kohns,Ernest Adankwah,Franziska Lang,Laura Olbrich,Ertan Mayatepek,Ellis Owusu-Dabo,Marc Jacobsen +11 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the role of IL-7/IL-7R in human tuberculosis shows similarities to pathognomonic features of impaired T-cell functions and immune failure described in AIDS patients, as well as decreased membrane-associated IL- 7R expression in T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Rhabdovirus Isolated from the Straw-Colored Fruit Bat Eidolon helvum, with Signs of Antibodies in Swine and Humans
Tabea Binger,A. P. Annan,Jan Felix Drexler,Marcel A. Müller,René Kallies,Ernest Adankwah,Robert Wollny,Anne Kopp,Hanna Heidemann,Dickson Dei,Festus Courage Agya-Yao,Sandra Junglen,Torsten Feldt,Andreas Kurth,Samuel Oppong,Yaw Adu-Sarkodie,Christian Drosten +16 more
TL;DR: Signs of infection were found in swine and humans, with increased antibody findings in humans who are occupationally exposed to the bat colony, and the data suggest that it is worthwhile to look for diseases caused by the novel virus in humans and livestock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis dormancy antigens improve diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Ernest Adankwah,Norman Nausch,Difery Minadzi,Mohammed K. Abass,Kees L. M. C. Franken,Tom H. M. Ottenhoff,Ertan Mayatepek,Richard Phillips,Marc Jacobsen +8 more
TL;DR: The potency of alternative cytokines, especially IL-6, and latency-associated antigens Rv1733/Rv2628 to improve detection of M. tuberculosis infection and to classify tuberculosis patients and healthy contacts is demonstrated.
