Continuous mucociliary transport by primary human airway epithelial cells in vitro.
Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 309 , L99-108, (2015) Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is an important innate defense mechanism that continuously removes inhaled pathogens and particulates from the airways. Normal MCC is essential for maintaining a healthy respiratory system, and impaired MCC is a feature of many air... |

In vivo comparison of two human norovirus surrogates for testing ethanol-based handrubs: the mouse chasing the cat!
PLoS ONE 6(2) , e17340, (2011) Human noroviruses (HuNoV), a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, cannot be readily cultured in the lab. Therefore, a feline calicivirus (FCV) is often used as its surrogate to, among other things, test alcohol-based handrubs (ABHR). The more recen... |

Acrolein-activated matrix metalloproteinase 9 contributes to persistent mucin production.
Am. J. Pathol. 38 , 446-54, (2008) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a global public health problem, is characterized by progressive difficulty in breathing, with increased mucin production, especially in the small airways. Acrolein, a constituent of cigarette smoke and an endogeno... |

A galactose-specific lectin from the red marine alga Ptilota filicina.
Phytochemistry 48 , 765-9, (1998) A lectin from the red marine alga Ptilota filicina (PFL) was isolated by affinity chromatography on cross-linked guar gum. PFL agglutinated native and papain-treated human erythrocytes with preference for type O erythrocytes. The lectin was inhibited by galac... |

Characterization of a unique mucin-like glycoprotein secreted by a human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line (Ishikawa).
Exp. Lung Res. 20 , 85-100, (1994) A human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line (Ishikawa) has been shown to incorporate [3H]glucosamine and to secrete a radiolabeled high molecular weight compound which is excluded from a Sepharose CL-2B column. The excluded material was resistant to hyaluron... |

Markers of inflammation in the breath in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease.
J. Pediatr. Gastroenterol. Nutr. 59(4) , 505-10, (2014) Breath analysis and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection are simple and noninvasive processes whereby inflammatory mediators and other biomarkers can be assessed in diseases that affect the lung. It was hypothesised that markers of epithelial dysfunctio... |

An orthologue of Bacteroides fragilis NanH is the principal sialidase in Tannerella forsythia.
J. Bacteriol. 191(11) , 3623-8, (2009) Sialidase activity is a putative virulence factor of the anaerobic periodontal pathogen Tannerella forsythia, but it is uncertain which genes encode this activity. Characterization of a putative sialidase, SiaHI, by others, indicated that this protein alone m... |
