Extensive remodeling of DC function by rapid maturation-induced transcriptional silencing (Publications)
The activation, or maturation, of dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial for the initiation of adaptive T-cell mediated immune responses. Research on the molecular mechanisms implicated in DC maturation has
Disruption of erythrocyte rosettes and agglutination of erythrocytes infected with<em> Plasmodium falciparum</em> by the sera of Papua New Guineans (Publications)

Menstrual irregularity and asthma and lung function (Publications)

IgE antibodies are more species-specific than IgG antibodies in human onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis (Publications)
To explore the relative species specificities of the IgE and IgG antibody responses to helminth infections in man, we studied four pools of sera from patients infected with Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugi
<em>In vitro</em> cultivation of animal-infective forms of a West African <em>Trypanosoma vivax</em> stock (Publications)
