Based upon the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structure and antigenicity of Shigella group B, a
strategy for broad cross-protection against 14 Shigella flexneri serotypes was designed. This …

Shigella enterotoxin 1 (ShET1) is a novel, iron-dependent, toxin encoded by chromosomal
genes (setl). To determine the prevalence of this enterotoxin, 172 Shigella clinical isolates (…

Objective Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a life-threatening inflammatory complication,
is increasingly recognized in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). It …

Shigella flexneri 2a strain CVD 1204, which was constructed by introducing a specific, in-frame
deletion mutation in the guaB-A operon, was compared with deltaaroA strain CVD 1201. …

Objective Genetics play an important role in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis.
We calculated the prevalence of rare variants in known monogenic lupus genes among …

Objectives Genetics plays an important role in SLE risk, as well as osteonecrosis (ON), a
significant and often debilitating complication of SLE. We aimed to identify genetic risk loci for …

Objective We examined the association between schizophrenia genetic susceptibility loci and
neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) features in childhood-onset SLE (…

We introduce the challenging task of detecting changes from an online conversation. Our goal
is to detect significant changes in, for example, sentiment or topic in a stream of messages …

Objectives Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci associated with
estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Few LN risk loci have been identified to date. We …

Objective The aim of this study was to examine the impact of timing of a childhood‐onset
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosis relative to menarchal status, on final height, …
