Type I IFN signature in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a conspiracy of DNA- and RNA-sensing receptors?
Abstract Background Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is an incurable multi-systemic autoimmune disease.Interferon type I (IFN-I) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of SLE.The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of the IFN-I signature and the contribution of cytosolic nucleic acid receptors to IFN-I activati
Identification and metabolic characteristics of an apolipoprotein C-II variant isolated from a hypertriglyceridemic subject.
The very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoproteins from a Type IV hypertriglyceridemic Caucasian subject (plasma TG: 645 mg/dl) and his brother (plasma TG: 328 mg/dl) were separated ORG HIMALAYAN SUNSHIN by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis (IEF) and found to contain two isoforms of apoC-II, identified by immunoblot.These corresponded t
NGC 628 in SIGNALS: Explaining the Abundance-ionization Correlation in H ii Regions
The variations of oxygen abundance and ionization parameter in H ii regions are usually thought to be the dominant factors that produced variations seen in observed emission-line spectra.However, if and how these two quantities are physically related is hotly debated in the literature.Using emission line data of NGC 628 observed with SITELLE as par
