Partial inactivation of CCR5- and CXCR4- tropic HIV-1 by human urine.
(University of Nairobischool of public health, 2011-12)Human urine has been poorly investigated with regard to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Here, we have studied the anti-infective functional properties of human urine against HIV. The effect of fresh urine ... -
HMGB1, an alarmin promoting HIV dissemination and latency in dendritic cells.
(University of Nairobischool of public health, 2012-01)Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate immune responses by transporting antigens and migrating to lymphoid tissues to initiate T-cell responses. DCs are located in the mucosal surfaces that are involved in human immunodeficiency ... -
What are Patients' Concerns about Medical Errors in an Emergency Department?
(University of Nairobischool of public health, 2012-02)OBJECTIVES: Concerns about medical errors have recently increased. An understanding of how patients conceptualise medical error would help health care providers to allay safety concerns and increase patient satisfaction. ... -
Single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides inhibit TLR3-mediated responses in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and in vivo in cynomolgus macaques.
(University of Nairobischool of public health, 2012-07)TLR3 is a key receptor for recognition of double-stranded RNA and initiation of immune responses against viral infections. However, hyperactive responses can have adverse effects, such as virus-induced asthma. Strategies ... -
Effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on survival time of aluminum phosphide intoxicated rats
(University of Nairobischool of public health, 2011-10)BACKGROUND: Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is used as a fumigant. It produces phosphine gas which is a mitochondrial poison. Although this poisoning has been repeatedly reported in literature with a high mortality rate, there ... -

Lymphocyte enzyme activities in East African blacks: decrease in 5'nucleotidase and possible relation to immunosuppression
(University of Nairobi,School of Medicine, 1983)Microanalysis of subcellular organelle marker enzymes was applied to cryopreserved lymphocytes (obtained and processed in the field) from East African blacks with moderate to severe malnutrition and subject to locally ... -
C. elegans Dynamin mediates the signaling of phagocytic receptor CED-1 for the engulfment and degradation of apoptotic cells
(C. elegans Dynamin mediates the signaling of phagocytic receptor CED-1 for the engulfment and degradation of apoptotic cellsCollege of Health Sciences, 2006)Dynamins are large GTPases that act in multiple vesicular trafficking events. We identified 14 loss-of-function alleles of the C. elegans dynamin gene, dyn-1, that are defective in the removal of apoptotic cells. dyn-1 ... -
