IPSE/alpha-1: A major immunogenic component secreted from Schistosoma mansoni eggs (2006)
Journal Article
Schramm, G., Gronow, A., Knobloch, J., Wippersteg, V., Grevelding, C., Galle, J., …Doenhoff, M. (2006). IPSE/alpha-1: A major immunogenic component secreted from Schistosoma mansoni eggs. Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 147(1), 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molbiopara.2006.01.003

During infection with Schistosoma mansoni the egg stage of this parasite modulates the initial T helper (Th1) response into a Th2 response. This suggests that schistosome eggs contain factors responsible for that effect. We have recently described a...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food (2006)
Journal Article
Fuller, H. R., Goodwin, P. R., & Morris, G. E. (2006). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food. Food and Agricultural Immunology, 17(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/09540100600572651

Shellfish are a common cause of food reactions in hypersensitive individuals and are among the eight foods that account for over 90% of food allergies. At present, the only way to prevent these serious consequences of food allergies is to avoid the f...

Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system (2006)
Journal Article
Chari, D. M., Zhao, C., Kotter, M. R., Blakemore, W. F., & Franklin, R. J. (2006). Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 83(4), 594-605. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnr.20763

High dose corticosteroid (CS) administration is a common mode of therapy in treatment of acute relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) but the effects of CS on remyelination and the cellular mechanisms mediating this repair process are controversial. We... Read More about Corticosteroids delay remyelination of experimental demyelination in the rodent central nervous system.

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS (2006)
Journal Article
Chari, D. M., Gilson, J. M., Franklin, R. J., & Blakemore, W. F. (2006). Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) transplantation is unlikely to offer a means of preventing X-irradiation induced damage in the CNS. Experimental Neurology, 198(1), 145-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expneurol.2005.11.023

Oligodendrocyte lineage cells [oligodendrocytes and their parent cells, the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs)] are depleted by X-irradiation and progenitor cell transplantation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to counteract radiation...
