The Role of Endosymbiotic <i>Wolbachia</i> Bacteria in the Pathogenesis of River Blindness
Amélie v. Saint André, Nathan M. Blackwell, Laurie R. Hall et al.|Science|2002
Cited by 359Open Access

Parasitic filarial nematodes infect more than 200 million individuals worldwide, causing debilitating inflammatory diseases such as river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. Using a murine model for river blindness in which soluble extracts of filarial nematodes were injected into the corneal stroma, we demonstrated that the predominant inflammatory response in the cornea was due to species of endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria. In addition, the inflammatory response induced by these bacteria was dependent on expression of functional Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on host cells.

Turtledove: a New Source of P(1)-Like MaterialCross-Reacting with the Human Erythrocyte Antigen
C. François-Gérard, J. Brocteur, Amélie v. Saint André|Vox Sanguinis|1980
Cited by 3

An antigen cross-reacting with the human blood group P(1) has been discovered in turtledove’s blood and egg-white. In egg-white, this P(1) antigenicity is carried by a glycoprotein called ovomucoid, which is particularly rich in galactose residues and which has been successfully used to produce specific anti-P(1) antibodies in rabbits.
