Becker Y
Virus Genes . 2006 Dec; 34(2):93-109. PMID: 17151939

Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)-induced allergy may be controlled by IL-4 and CX3C fractalkine antagonists and CpG ODN as adjuvant: hypothesis and implications for treatment
Becker Y
Virus Genes . 2006 Sep; 33(2):253-64. PMID: 16972041
Based on the hypothesis that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) sG protein causes allergy in patients, it is suggested that treatment of RSV patients with antagonists of IL-4 and FKN early...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) evades the human adaptive immune system by skewing the Th1/Th2 cytokine balance toward increased levels of Th2 cytokines and IgE, markers of allergy--a review
Becker Y
Virus Genes . 2006 Sep; 33(2):235-52. PMID: 16972040

Molecular immunological approaches to biotherapy of human cancers--a review, hypothesis and implications
Becker Y
Anticancer Res . 2006 Apr; 26(2A):1113-34. PMID: 16619514

Becker Y
Virus Genes . 2005 Mar; 30(1):127-31. PMID: 15744571
Reevaluation of the increase in the levels of IgE and IL-4 in sera of HIV-1 infected and AIDS patients led to the suggestion that AIDS resembles allergy. Studies on the...

Low level laser irradiation stimulates mitochondrial membrane potential and disperses subnuclear promyelocytic leukemia protein
Gavish L, Asher Y, Becker Y, Kleinman Y
Lasers Surg Med . 2004 Dec; 35(5):369-76. PMID: 15611960
Background And Objectives: Low level laser irradiation (LLLI) is used to promote wound healing. Molecularly it is known to stimulate mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cytokine secretion, and cell proliferation. This...
