Immuno-nephelometric determination of group streptococcal anti-streptolysin O titres (ASOT) from dried blood spots: Method for validating a new assay

This study was designed to determine the sensitivity and reproducibility of recovering anti-streptolysin O titres (ASOT) from dried blood spot (DBS) samples

Broad perspectives of allergen specific immunotherapy

Allergen specific immunotherapy aims to subvert or divert immune responses to allergens to ones that do not cause immunological hypersensitivities.

Multiple-breath washout outcomes are sensitive to inflammation and infection in children with cystic fibrosis

The lung clearance index may be a useful surveillance tool for monitoring the presence and extent of lower airway inflammation and infection

Reproducibility of the plasma glucose response to moderate-intensity exercise in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes

The plasma glucose response to moderate-intensity exercise can be reproducible in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes

The AREST CF experience in biobanking - More than just tissues, tubes and time.

Research to further improve outcomes for people with CF is dependent upon well characterised, archived and accessible clinical specimens.

Comparative analyses of whole genome sequences of Leishmania infantum isolates from humans and dogs in northeastern Brazil

Overall the analyses do not suggest individual sequence variants account for differences in clinical outcome or adaptation to different hosts.

Viral etiology and the impact of codetection in young children presenting with influenza-like illness

Children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) frequently exhibit virus-virus codetection, yet the clinical significance of ARTI remains contentious.

Systematic analysis of transcription start sites in avian development

CAGE in combination with single-molecule sequencing technology allows mapping of TSSs and genome-wide capture of promoter activities state cell populations.

The global lung function initiative (GLI) network: Bringing the world’s respiratory reference values together

The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Network has become the largest resource for reference values for routine lung function testing ever assembled.

An integrated expression atlas of miRNAs and their promoters in human and mouse

We provided a broad atlas of miRNA expression and promoters in primary mammalian cells, establishing a foundation for detailed analysis of miRNA.
