Adenoviral infectivity of exfoliated viable cells in urine: implications for the detection of bladder cancerAnuradha Murali
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC 29425, USA
BMC Cancer 11:168. 2011..Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of transducing viable exfoliated cells obtained from urine with an adenoviral vector in which a reporter gene is under the control of the survivin promoter...
Overcoming the phage replication threshold: a mathematical model with implications for phage therapyLaura M Kasman
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina 29403, USA
J Virol 76:5557-64. 2002..In addition, the concept of MOI(actual) allows us to write simple formulas for computing practical quantities, such as the number of phage sufficient to infect 99.99% of host cells at arbitrary concentrations...
CD13/aminopeptidase N and murine cytomegalovirus infectionLaura M Kasman
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, BSB 201, PO Box 250504, 173 Ashley Avenue, Charleston, SC 29425, USA
Virology 334:1-9. 2005..Reproduction of CD13/APN autoantibody production in the murine system should make it possible to determine if these antibodies contribute to CMV pathogenesis...
Barriers to coliphage infection of commensal intestinal flora of laboratory miceLaura M Kasman
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC 29403, USA
Virol J 2:34. 2005..Intestinal contents were screened for the presence of coliphage and host bacteria, and strains of E. coli bacteria from different segments of the GI tract were tested for susceptibility to six common laboratory coliphages...
Immunoglobulin gene implicated in murine herpes stromal keratitis is not associated with the human diseaseLaura M Kasman
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC 29403, USA
Cornea 25:1069-71. 2006..However, other rodent studies have produced contradictory results. This study tested the hypothesis that the GM23 gene (the human IgG2a homolog) influences susceptibility to HSK in humans...

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Medical University of Southa Carolina, Charleston, 29425, USA
Curr Opin Rheumatol 14:694-8. 2002..Here we review studies examining the potential involvement of, cytomegalovirus, and parvovirus B19 in SSc pathogenesis...
Use of genetically engineered phage to deliver antimicrobial agents to bacteria: an alternative therapy for treatment of bacterial infectionsCaroline Westwater
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina 29403, USA
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 47:1301-7. 2003..Given the powerful genetic engineering tools available and the present knowledge in phage biology, this technology may have potential use in antimicrobial therapies and DNA vaccine development...
