Inflammation associated with retinochoroiditis is a major complication of ocular toxoplasmosis in infants and immunocompetent individuals. Moreover, Toxoplasma gondii-induced retinal disease causes...
Nagineni, C N, Detrick, B, Hooks, J J
The retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell is a potent regulatory cell within the retina. It helps to maintain normal retinal activity, and following gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) exposure, it may...
Enhancement of basophil chemotaxis in vitro by virus-induced interferon.
Lett-Brown, M A, Aelvoet, M, Hooks, J J, Georgiades, J A, Thueson, D O, Grant, J A
It is well established that viral infections may precipitate or worsen attacks of bronchial asthma. Furthermore, in symptomatic atopic subjects, the local accumulation of basophils and the production...
Virus-induced decrease of insulin receptors in cultured human cells.
Shimizu, F, Hooks, J J, Kahn, C R, Notkins, A L
Viral infections may produce abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism in normal subjects and profound changes in glucose homeostasis in insulin-dependent diabetics. Using an in vitro radio-receptor...
Hooks, J J, Burns, W, Hayashi, K, Geis, S, Notkins, A L
Several viruses were categorized on the basis of their ability to spread from cell to contiguous cell and form plaques in the presence of antiviral antibody. Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus,...
Persistent shedding of adenovirus in urine of chimpanzees.
Asher, D M, Hooks, J J, Amyx, H L, Luber, N P, Asher, L V, Gibbs, C J, ...
A new adenovirus, designated Pan 11, was isolated repeatedly from the urine of several chimpanzees for more than 1 year. One chimpanzee had chronic interstitial nephritis; the others were healthy....

HLA-DR expression by labial minor salivary gland tissues in Sjögren's syndrome.
Moutsopoulos, H M, Hooks, J J, Chan, C C, Dalavanga, Y A, Skopouli, F N, Detrick, B
Minor salivary gland biopsy specimens from patients with Sjögren's syndrome (primary and secondary) and from normal controls were examined with the four step biotin-avidin-immunoperoxidase assay....
Dalavanga, Y A, Detrick, B, Hooks, J J, Drosos, A A, Moutsopoulos, H M
Labial minor salivary gland biopsy specimens from 14 patients with Sjögren's syndrome treated either with cyclosporin A (CyA) or placebo (5 mg/kg body weight day for six months) were studied to...
Modulation of polyclonal B cell differentiation by human leucocyte alpha interferon.
Levinson, A I, Dziarski, A, Hooks, J J
Although interferon (IFN) profoundly affects immune responses in animals, less is known about its immunoregulatory activity in man. Therefore, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) from 20 healthy...
Enhancement of IgE-mediated histamine release from human basophils by immune-specific lymphokines.
Ida, S, Hooks, J J, Siraganian, R P, Notkins, A L
Human leucocytes (basophils) release histamine when exposed to ragweed antigen E or anti-IgE. The present study shows that when leucocytes from BCG-positive donors are first incubated with PPD and...
NAGINENI, C N, DETRICK, B, HOOKS, J J
Retinochoroiditis caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection results in inflammation and necrosis of the retina. We have used human retinal pigment epithelial cultures (HRPE) as an in vitro model to...
Lee, M T, Hooper, L C, Kump, L, Hayashi, K, Nussenblatt, R, Hooks, J J, ...
Retinal vasculitis is a major component of ocular inflammation that plays a role in retinal tissue damage in patients with idiopathic uveitis and Behçet's disease. Here we show that type 1...
