Kiazyk S, Ball T
Can Commun Dis Rep
. 2018 May;
43(3-4):62-66.
PMID: 29770066
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is defined as a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active tuberculosis (TB) disease. Individuals with LTBI represent...

Potential biomarkers associated with discrimination between latent and active pulmonary tuberculosis
Kamakia R, Kiazyk S, Waruk J, Meyers A, Ochanda J, Ball T, et al.
Int J Tuberc Lung Dis
. 2017 Feb;
21(3):278-285.
PMID: 28225338
Setting: A third of the world's population has latent tuberculous infection (LTBI). Current TB diagnostics used in developing countries are ineffective and are unable to distinguish LTBI from active TB....

Kiazyk S, Larcombe L, Lopez C, Matyas S, Mesa C, Orr P, et al.
Int J Tuberc Lung Dis
. 2016 Dec;
20(12):1647-1652.
PMID: 28000585
Background: Several studies have shown polymorphisms within the interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) promoter influence cytokine expression. The interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) relies on the ability to produce IFN-γ in response to tuberculosis...

Cytometry B Clin Cytom
. 2016 Mar;
92(6):445-450.
PMID: 26990810
Background: Automation in HIV clinical flow cytometry when appropriately applied brings considerable standardisation benefits. The Canadian Immunology Quality Assessment Program (CIQAP) detected situations where operators did not manually override automated...

J Virol
. 2015 Jun;
89(18):9167-77.
PMID: 26109722
Unlabelled: Our earlier studies with pig-tailed macaques demonstrated various simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) susceptibilities during the menstrual cycle, likely caused by cyclic variations in immune responses in the female genital...

Mucosal Immunol
. 2013 Jun;
7(2):268-79.
PMID: 23801306
Cohort studies of female commercial sex workers (CSWs) in Kenya were among the first to identify highly HIV-1-exposed seronegative (HESN) individuals. As natural resistance is usually mediated by innate immune...

Tissue Antigens
. 2013 Jan;
81(2):93-107.
PMID: 23330720
Class I human leukocyte antigens (HLA) play an important role in the adaptive immune response by presenting antigens to CD8+ T cells. Studies have reported that several HLA class I...

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...

J Proteome Res
. 2011 Oct;
10(11):5139-49.
PMID: 21973077
Not all individuals exposed to HIV-1 become infected, and evidence from HIV-1 highly exposed seronegative women (HIV-1-resistant) suggests that mucosal factors in the female genital tract, the first site of...

Sex Transm Infect
. 2011 Jan;
87(2):125-30.
PMID: 21228419
The sexual transmission of HIV is very inefficient, presumably because mucosal immune defences prevent infection after most exposures. Since numerous genital immune factors have antiviral effects in vitro, their elucidation...
