Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue viral load variability in chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: Hepatic viral load variability does not suffer from the same degree of heterogeneity of sampling variability as does histology, and is concordant with serum positivity in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bifidobacterium animalis AHC7 protects against pathogen-induced NF-κB activation in vivo

TL;DR: The cellular mechanism underpinning Bifidobacterium animalis AHC7 mediated attenuation of NF-κB activation may include recognition of the bacterium by dendritic cells and induction of CD25+Foxp3+ T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bifidobacterium breve with α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid alters fatty acid metabolism in the maternal separation model of irritable bowel syndrome.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare the impact of dietary supplementation with a Bifidobacterium breve strain together with linoleic acid & α-linolenic acid, for 7 weeks, on colonic sensitivity and fatty acid metabolism in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human mucosal T-cell cytotoxicity

TL;DR: The profile of target cell susceptibility and the inhibitory effects of anti-CD45 antibody suggest that the CD45 molecule on the effector cell may be an important determinant ofAnti-CD3-T sensitivity, which might have important implications in inflammatory bowel disease, where the antigen(s) inciting the mucosal immune reactivity is not certain.
