Vedolizumab immunogenicity was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with ~ 0.5 ug / mL drug disorders, which may underestimate the on-drug immunogenicity. We aimed to compare the results between ELISA and immunogenicity of a new drug-tolerant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay (and two versions of neutralizing tests, drug-sensitive to the drug-tolerant). ECL assay drug tolerance […]

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.
BLAST program is widely used tool to find protein and DNA databases for sequence similarities. For protein comparisons, various definitions, algorithmic and statistical improvements described here allows the BLAST program execution time will decrease substantially while increasing their sensitivity to weak similarity. New criteria to trigger the expansion of word hits, combined with new heuristics […]
Continue ReadingFast, scalable generation of high-quality protein multiple sequence alignments using Clustal Omega.
Multiple sequence alignments are fundamental to many methods of sequence analysis. Most alignments computed using a heuristic progressive alignment. This method began to be a bottleneck in some pipeline analysis when dealing with thousands of sequence data set size. Some methods allow the calculation of a larger set of data while sacrificing quality, and others […]

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease and chronic autoimmune neurodegenerative central nervous system characterized by demyelination, axonal loss and motor dysfunction. activated microglia associated with the destruction of myelin in the CNS. activated microglia produce proinflammatory cytokines and factors, supports nerve inflammation, damage to myelin and neuronal loss, and suspected to be involved in […]

Trachoma Control Program in Amhara Region, Ethiopia, improved surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement (SAFE) strategy in all districts starting in 2007. Despite these efforts, many districts still requires an additional year of AMAN. In 2017, four districts were selected for assessment of antibody response to an antigen of Chlamydia trachomatis and C. trachomatis […]
