SEA binds DC-SIGN and can block <i>trans</i>-infection of CD4 T-lymphocytes but not <i>cis</i>-infection. by Emily EIM Mouser (7348559)

“…The OD₄₅₀ of DC-SIGN-Fc binding to gp140 is set to 100% and binding of SEA pre-incubated DC-SIGN-Fc is plotted as a percentage of this 100%. Pre-incubating DC-SIGN-Fc with any of the SEA fractions or mannan resulted in a significant decrease (p<0.05) in gp140 binding. …”

DataSheet_1_Hair cortisol and changes in cortisol dynamics in chronic kidney disease.pdf by Laura Boswell (12123132)

“…Reduced cortisol suppression after 1-mg dexamethasone suppression (DST) (p < 0.001), a higher noon (12:00 h pm) salivary cortisol (p = 0.042), and salivary cortisol AUC (p = 0.008) were seen in CKD. 24-h urinary-free cortisol (24-h UFC) decreased in CKD stages III–IV compared with I–II (p < 0.001); higher midnight salivary cortisol (p = 0.015) and lower suppressibility after 1-mg DST were observed with declining kidney function (p < 0.001). …”
