Superoxide dismutase A antigens derived from molecular analysis of sarcoidosis granulomas elicit systemic Th-1 immune responses (2008)

Allen, Shannon S, Evans, Whitney, Carlisle, James, Hajizadeh, Rana, Nadaf, Michele, Shepherd, Bryan E, ...

Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic granulomatous disease with pathologic and immunologic features similar to tuberculosis. Routine histologic staining and culture fail to identify...

Priming with Secreted Glycoprotein G of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Augments Interleukin-5 Production and Tissue Eosinophilia after RSV Challenge

Johnson, Teresa R., Johnson, Joyce E., Roberts, Sharon R., Wertz, Gail W., Parker, Robert A., Graham, Barney S.

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) G glycoprotein promotes differentiation of type 2 CD4+ T lymphocytes and induces an eosinophilic response in lungs of RSV-infected mice. A unique feature of G is...

Herpesvirus DNA Is Consistently Detected in Lungs of Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Tang, Yi-Wei, Johnson, Joyce E., Browning, Philip J., Cruz-Gervis, Roberto A., Davis, Angela, Graham, Barney S., ...

On the basis of earlier reports associating Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) with half of the cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), we hypothesized that chronic infection with EBV or a closely...

Growth of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Primary Epithelial Cells from the Human Respiratory Tract

Wright, Peter F., Ikizler, Mine R., Gonzales, Ricardo A., Carroll, Kecia N., Johnson, Joyce E., Werkhaven, Jay A.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and children. To study RSV replication, we have developed an in vitro model of human...

The Cotton Rat (Sigmodon hispidus) Is a Permissive Small Animal Model of Human Metapneumovirus Infection, Pathogenesis, and Protective Immunity

Williams, John V., Tollefson, Sharon J., Johnson, Joyce E., Crowe, James E.

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a newly described paramyxovirus that is an important cause of acute respiratory tract disease. We undertook to develop a small animal model of hMPV infection,...

Human Metapneumovirus Fusion Protein Vaccines That Are Immunogenic and Protective in Cotton Rats▿

Cseke, Gabriella, Wright, David W., Tollefson, Sharon J., Johnson, Joyce E., Crowe, James E., Williams, John V.

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a recently described paramyxovirus that is a major cause of upper and lower respiratory infection in children and adults worldwide. A safe and effective vaccine could...

Human Nasopharyngeal-Associated Lymphoreticular Tissues : Functional Analysis of Subepithelial and Intraepithelial B and T Cells from Adenoids and Tonsils

Boyaka, Prosper N., Wright, Peter F., Marinaro, Mariarosaria, Kiyono, Hiroshi, Johnson, Joyce E., Gonzales, Ricardo A., ...

Subepithelial and intraepithelial lymphocytes of human adenoids and tonsils were characterized and directly compared to determine the potential contribution of these tissues to mucosal and systemic...

Effects of Paramyxoviral Infection on Airway Epithelial Cell Foxj1 Expression, Ciliogenesis, and Mucociliary Function

Look, Dwight C., Walter, Michael J., Williamson, Michael R., Pang, Liyi, You, Yingjian, Sreshta, J. Nicholas, ...

To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying the association between respiratory viral infection and predisposition to subsequent bacterial infection, we used in vivo and in vitro models and human...

The effects of intrinsic pathway protease deficiencies on plasminogen-deficient mice

Cheng, Qiufang, Zhao, Yong, Lawson, William E., Polosukhin, Vasiliy V., Johnson, Joyce E., Blackwell, Timothy S., ...

Plasminogen (Plg)–deficient mice experience wasting and have decreased longevity due to disseminated fibrin deposition. We generated mice with combined deficiencies of Plg and coagulation factor IX...
