Institute of Hygiene and Social Medicine and Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for AIDS Research, University Innsbruck, Austria
Curr Mol Med 2:703-11. 2002....
First documented case of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in AustriaGernot Walder
Institut für Hygiene und Sozialmedizin, Universitat Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
Wien Klin Wochenschr 115:263-6. 2003..We conclude that also in Austria HGE should be considered in patients with febrile thrombocytopenia, especially when the medical history reveals recent tick exposure...
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis in Austria: epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory findings in five consecutive patients from Tyrol, AustriaGernot Walder
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Fritz Pregl Str 3, A 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Int J Med Microbiol 296:297-301. 2006..All patients were treated with tetracyclines, which led to prompt improvement of the clinical conditions. Anti-platelet antibodies were observed in one of four patients, but remained unchanged after complete covalescence...
HIV-1 induced generation of C5a attracts immature dendriticcells and promotes infection of autologous T cellsAnna Soederholm
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, and Central Institute for Blood Transfusion and Division for Immunology, University Hospital, Austria
Eur J Immunol 37:2156-63. 2007..These results indicate that HIV induces generation of C5a and thereby attracts iDC, which in turn promote the productive infection of autologous primary T cells...
Changes in HIV-specific antibody responses and neutralization titers in patients under ARTBarbara Falkensammer
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University and L Boltzmann Institute of AIDS Research, Fritz Pregl Str 3, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Front Biosci 12:2148-58. 2007..These data indicate that in parallel to the decrease in viral load and antibodies against gp120, the neutralization capacity of sera under ART is reduced, and can not be compensated by an increase in tat-specific antibodies...
Role of complement and antibodies in controlling infection with pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in macaques vaccinated with replication-deficient viral vectorsBarbara Falkensammer
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
Retrovirology 6:60. 2009..The vaccine was applied via spray-immunization to the tonsils of rhesus macaques and compared with systemic regimens...
Subtype and genotypic resistance analysis of HIV-1 infected patients in AustriaBarbara Falkensammer
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria
Wien Klin Wochenschr 119:181-5. 2007..In Europe, the majority of HIV-1 isolates belong to subtype B. Due to migration an increasing incidence for additional subtypes and complex recombinant forms are expected...
Analysis of humoral immune responses in rhesus macaques vaccinated with attenuated SIVmac239Deltanef and challenged with pathogenic SIVmac251Doris Freissmuth
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria
J Med Primatol 39:97-111. 2010....
Basidiomycete metabolites attenuate virulence properties of Candida albicans in vitroBarbara Falkensammer
Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria
Mycoses 51:505-14. 2008..Interestingly, these drugs are neither fungistatic nor fungicidal at the concentrations applied. Laccaridione B may represent a promising novel type of antimycotic drug--targeting virulence factors without killing the yeast...
Absent reduction by HIV protease inhibitors of Candida albicans adhesion to endothelial cellsBarbara Falkensammer
Department for Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck and Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for AIDS Research, Innsbruck, Austria
Mycoses 50:172-7. 2007..albicans to human cells by HIV protease inhibitors is not a general feature, but strongly cell type-dependent, and clearly not observed for endothelial cells in vitro, which are a main target of systemic candidiasis in vivo...
A single vaccination with attenuated SIVmac 239 via the tonsillar route confers partial protection against challenge with SIVmac 251 at a distant mucosal site, the rectumChristiane Stahl Hennig
German Primate Center, D 37077 Gottingen, Germany
Front Biosci 12:2107-23. 2007..Therefore, tonsillar application of attenuated SIV induces protection in some animals against a superinfection with wild-type SIV distant at a distant mucosal site...
Simultaneous separation of fifteen approved protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors for human immunodeficiency virus therapy by capillary electrophoresisNguyen Duc Tuan
Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Radiochemistry, Innsbruck, Autria
Electrophoresis 24:662-70. 2003..By optimizing electrolyte pH, the amount of solvents and SDS concentrations in the background electrolyte it is possible to completely separate all compounds of interest...
