Published: December 2020

Test kit for detection of IgG-antibodies to individual antigens of Toxoplasma gondii by immune blotting («Western blot» format) has been developed. Laboratory testing with first international WHO standard «Anti-toxoplasma serum (IgG), human, Lyophilized, 20 IU / ampoule» (NIBSC, Great Britain) demonstrated the analytical sensitivity of the new kit equal to 10 IU / ml. Study of the diagnostic efficiency of the new kit showed its high sensitivity, equal to 98.51 - 100%, and high specificity, equal to 99.5 - 100%. New test kit is intended for confirmatory testing in laboratory diagnostics of toxoplasmosis.

A growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of long noncoding ribose nucleic acids (lncRNAs) in acute kidney injury (AKI). This study focused on the mechanistic role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-mediated AKI. A model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was created using human kidney cells (HK-2).

Objectives: To investigate the association of NUF2 expression with tumor prognosis and its regulatory role in tumor microenvironment.

Methods: We analyzed NUF2 expression, its prognostic value, and is immune-related functions across different cancer types using datasets from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), TCGA, GTEx, CCLE, and TIMER. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect NUF2 expression in liver cancer cell lines and tissue and blood samples from patients with liver cancer.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of high glucose on macrophage polarization and the role of immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) in mediating its effect.

Methods: RAW264.7 cells were transfected with IRG1-overexpressing plasmid or IRG1 siRNA via electroporation and cultured in either normal or high glucose for 72 h to observe the changes in cell viability and morphology using CCK-8 assay and phase contrast microscopy.

Background: ARPC1B has been identified as a key regulator of malignant biological behavior in various tumors. However, its specific role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains poorly understood. This study aims to evaluate the influence of ARPC1B on the prognosis and disease progression in ccRCC patients.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an inflammation-associated tumor with a dismal prognosis. Immunotherapy has become an important treatment strategy for HCC, as immunity is closely related to inflammation in the tumor microenvironment. Inflammation regulates the expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and affects immunotherapy efficacy.
