Growth of H5N1 Influenza A Viruses in the Upper Respiratory Tracts of Mice (2007)

Masato Hatta, Yasuko Hatta, Jin Hyun Kim, Shinji Watanabe, Kyoko Shinya, Tung Nguyen, ...

Highly pathogenic avian H5N1 influenza A viruses have spread throughout Asia, Europe, and Africa, raising serious worldwide concern about their pandemic potential. Although more than 250 people have...

Specific detection of H5N1 avian influenza A virus in field specimens by a one-step RT-PCR assay (2006)

Ng, Lisa FP, Barr, Ian, Nguyen, Tung, Noor, Suriani, Tan, Rosemary, Agathe, Lora V, ...

Abstract Background Continuous outbreaks of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza A in Asia has resulted in an urgent effort to improve current diagnostics to aid containment of the virus and...

Patterns of HIV prevalence among injecting drug users in the cross-border area of Lang Son Province, Vietnam, and Ning Ming County, Guangxi Province, China (2005)

Des Jarlais Don, Johnston Patrick, Friedmann Patricia, Kling Ryan, Liu Wei, Ngu Doan, ...

Abstract Background To assess patterns of injecting drug use and HIV prevalence among injecting drug users (IDUs) in an international border area along a major heroin trans-shipment route. Methods...

Asynchronous Dynamic Load Balancing of Tiles (Extended Abstract) (2001)

Tung Nguyen, Michelle Mills, Strout Larry, Carter Jeanne Ferrante

Many scientific computations have work-intensive kernels consisting of nested loops with a regular stencil of data dependences. For such loop nests, tiling [W96] is a well-known compiler optimization...

RL-37, an Alpha-Helical Antimicrobial Peptide of the Rhesus Monkey

Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Boo, Lee Ming, Hong, Teresa, Espiritu, Cesar, Orlov, Dmitri, ...

Rhesus monkey bone marrow expresses a cathelicidin whose C-terminal domain comprises a 37-residue alpha-helical peptide (RL-37) that resembles human LL-37. Like its human counterpart, RL-37 rapidly...

Purification and Properties of Proline-Rich Antimicrobial Peptides from Sheep and Goat Leukocytes

Shamova, Olga, Brogden, Kim A., Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Kokryakov, Vladimir N., Lehrer, Robert I.

We purified three proline-rich antimicrobial peptides from elastase-treated extracts of sheep and goat leukocytes and subjected two of them, OaBac5α and ChBac5, to detailed analysis. OaBac5α and...

Differential Expression of Caprine β-Defensins in Digestive and Respiratory Tissues

Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Liu, Lide, Shamova, Olga, Brogden, Kim, Lehrer, Robert I.

We identified two novel β-defensin precursors, preproGBD-1 and preproGBD-2, in the tissues of a goat. Although the precursors were identical in 96.8% of their bases and 88.2% (60 of 68) of their...

Gallinacin-3, an Inducible Epithelial β-Defensin in the Chicken

Zhao, Chengquan, Nguyen, Tung, Liu, Lide, Sacco, Randy E., Brogden, Kim A., Lehrer, Robert I.

Gallinacin-3 and gallopavin-1 (GPV-1) are newly characterized, epithelial β-defensins of the chicken (Gallus gallus) and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), respectively. In normal chickens, the...

Retrocyclin: A primate peptide that protects cells from infection by T- and M-tropic strains of HIV-1

Cole, Alexander M., Hong, Teresa, Boo, Lee Ming, Nguyen, Tung, Zhao, Chengquan, Bristol, Greg, ...

Human bone marrow expresses a pseudogene that encodes an antimicrobial peptide homologous to rhesus monkey circular minidefensins (θ-defensins). We prepared the putative ancestral human peptide by...

Avian Influenza (H5N1) Viruses Isolated from Humans in Asia in 2004 Exhibit Increased Virulence in Mammals

Maines, Taronna R., Lu, Xui Hua, Erb, Steven M., Edwards, Lindsay, Guarner, Jeannette, Greer, Patricia W., ...

The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses across Asia in 2003 and 2004 devastated domestic poultry populations and resulted in the largest and most lethal H5N1 virus outbreak in...

"Getting the lead out" in Hartford, Connecticut: a multifaceted lead-poisoning awareness campaign.

McLaughlin, Tara J, Humphries, Owen, Nguyen, Tung, Maljanian, Rose, McCormack, Katherine

As part of a citywide effort to increase lead poisoning awareness within the city of Hartford, Connecticut, the Hartford Health Department implemented a multifaceted public health campaign involving...
