Infectious complications of the lung occur quite frequently in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a clinical syndrome that represents a primary immunodeficiency. However, there… (More)
BACKGROUND
REG1 is a novel anticoagulation system consisting of pegnivacogin, an RNA aptamer inhibitor of coagulation factor IXa, and anivamersen, a complementary sequence reversal oligonucleotide.… (More)
State public health agencies face challenges when monitoring the efforts and effects of public health programs that use disparate strategies and address various diseases, locations, and populations.… (More)
Human infection with Mycoplasma species other than M. pneumoniae are infrequent, but may be encountered in patients with immunodeficiencies. We report a patient with combined variable… (More)

Receptors for the Fc domain of IgG on cells of hematopoietic lineage perform important functions, including stimulation of the ingestion of IgG-coated cells. In examining the function of Fc gamma… (More)
Fc gamma receptors are important components in the binding and phagocytosis of IgG-sensitized cells. Studies on the role of these receptors have been limited by the fact that most hematopoietic cells… (More)
Previous studies by us and others have demonstrated the expression of acetylcholine receptors on epithelial cells in the thymus of myasthenia gravis (MG) and control subjects. In the present… (More)
PURPOSE
To evaluate computed tomography (CT) scans of individuals with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) to determine if there are… (More)
We analyzed lymphocyte surface markers in seven thymomas. In six mixed thymomas, the staining patterns were similar for T11, OKT8, OKT6, OKT4, Coulter clone T4, and Leu 3a/3b. Staining patterns for… (More)
