Keynan Y, Malik S, Fowke K
Public Health Genomics . 2013 Apr; 16(1-2):9-16. PMID: 23548712
Following the influenza epidemics, it has become clear that severity of illness is not uniform. Comorbidities and immunocompromise account for only a fraction of severe cases and do not explain...

Lajoie J, Juno J, Burgener A, Rahman S, Mogk K, Wachihi C, et al.
Mucosal Immunol . 2012 Feb; 5(3):277-87. PMID: 22318497
The predominance of HIV-1 sexual transmission requires a greater understanding of the interaction between HIV-1 and the mucosal immune system. The study of HIV-1-exposed seronegative (HESN) individuals serves as a...

Keynan Y, Card C, Ball B, Li Y, Plummer F, Fowke K
Clin Microbiol Infect . 2010 Jul; 16(8):1179-86. PMID: 20670292
Influenza vaccine provides protection against infection with matched strains, and this protection correlates with serum antibody titres. In addition to antibodies, influenza-specific CD8+ T-lymphocyte responses are important in decreasing disease...

Fowke K, Kaul R, Rosenthal K, Oyugi J, Kimani J, Rutherford W, et al.
Immunol Cell Biol . 2000 Dec; 78(6):586-95. PMID: 11114968
The goal of the present study was to determine whether there were HIV-1 specific cellular immune responses among a subgroup of women within a cohort of Nairobi prostitutes (n =...

Fowke K, Behnke J, Hanson C, Shea K, Cosentino L
J Immunol Methods . 2000 Oct; 244(1-2):139-44. PMID: 11033026
We sought to compare the effect of cryopreservation and storage at -30 degrees C, -70 degrees C and -150 degrees C of human whole blood versus matched peripheral blood mononuclear...

Macdonald K, Fowke K, Kimani J, Dunand V, Nagelkerke N, Ball T, et al.
J Infect Dis . 2000 May; 181(5):1581-9. PMID: 10823757
Certain human leukocyte antigens, by presenting conserved immunogenic epitopes for T cell recognition, may, in part, account for the observed differences in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) susceptibility. To...

AIDS . 1999 Nov; 13(15):2003-12. PMID: 10546852
Objective: A phase I trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an HIV synthetic peptide vaccine in HIV-seropositive individuals. The immunogens used in this study were PCLUS...

Plummer F, Ball T, Kimani J, Fowke K
Immunol Lett . 1999 Apr; 66(1-3):27-34. PMID: 10203031
Variability in susceptibility to infection and disease caused by infectious agents is a characteristic of all populations. Among susceptible individuals exposed to an infection, not all become infected and among...

Simonsen J, Fowke K, Macdonald K, Plummer F
Curr Opin Microbiol . 1999 Mar; 1(4):423-9. PMID: 10066519
The understanding of the factors associated with HIV-1 acquisition and disease progression has been significantly advanced in the past few years. These factors can be broadly defined as intrinsic or...
