The emerging magnitude of human fungal infections has renewed interest in developing rapid and standardized methods for susceptibility testing. We demonstrated that susceptibility testing of Candida albicans can be accomplished rapidly by using flow

Borreliacidal antibodies participate in the resolution of Lyme disease by clearing Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato from the host. Detection of borreliacidal antibodies is also valuable for determination of the specific serodiagnosis of Lyme disease.

We determined that Borrelia burgdorferi-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes are responsible for the development of severe destructive Lyme arthritis and affect the production of borreliacidal antibody. Severe destructive Lyme arthritis was readily evoked in

Five distinct seroprotective groups among North American and European isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia afzelii have been identified using the in vitro borreliacidal assay. The predominant North American s

We demonstrated that borreliacidal activity caused by immune serum and complement can easily be differentiated by flow cytometry from killing activity caused by antimicrobial agents that are commonly used for the treatment of Lyme disease. Assay susp

We demonstrated that different seroprotective groups exist among isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia garinii. The major group was composed of isolates 297, B31, S-1-10, MMTI, IPT, and ATCC 35211 and 21 isolates obtained from California, Ill

Low-passage isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi induced arthritis when injected into the hind paws of irradiated hamsters, while high-passage isolates did not. To examine a possible mechanism for induction of arthritis, peritoneal exudate cells were coi

The protective immunity conferred by T-cell subsets against infection with Treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue was studied. We demonstrated that hamster T cells can be separated into two subsets by monoclonal antibody (MAb) GK 1.5 (anti-L3T4) and MAb

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is followed by humoral immunodeficiency. We evaluated whether antibody levels can be improved by recipient vaccination on day -1 and 50 and whether the levels can be further improved by donor vaccination

The mechanism(s) by which Lyme arthritis is induced has not been elucidated. In this study, we showed that macrophages have a direct, effector role in the pathogenesis of Lyme arthritis. Severe destructive arthritis was induced in recipients of macro
