| comparison of ehrlichia muris strains isolated from wild mice and ticks and serologic survey of humans and animals with e. muris as antigen. | in metropolitan tokyo, the ehrlichia muris seropositivity rate of 24 wild mice was 63% in hinohara village, but in the surrounding areas, it was 0 to 5%. this finding suggests that the reservoir of e. muris is focal. among the 15 seropositive mice, ehrlichiae were isolated from 9 apodemus speciosus mice and 1 a. argenteus mouse, respectively. five ehrlichial isolates were obtained from 10 ticks (haemaphysalis flava) collected in asuke town, aichi prefecture, where the e. muris type strain had be ... | 1999 | 10074536 |
| variation in response among individuals to antigenic sites on the ha protein of human influenza virus may be responsible for the emergence of drift strains in the human population. | eight convalescent human sera obtained from patients aged 3 to 14 years old, who were infected with influenza a(h3n2) virus during the 1990/1991 influenza season, were characterized by a binding assay with chimeric hemagglutinin (ha) proteins between influenza virus a/aichi/2/68 and a/kamata/14/91(h3n2) strains. these sera did not recognize the ha protein of the a/aichi/2/68 strain but recognized that of the a/kamata/14/91 strain. the binding assay revealed that these sera recognized only the ha ... | 2000 | 10936103 |
