We studied the dose-response effects of the F(ab')2 fragments of murine monoclonal antibodies to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor (7E3 and 10E5) on in vivo platelet thrombus formation in a well-characterized monkey model in which the carotid artery is stenosed and thrombus formation is provoked and augmented by intimal We previously showed that a dose of 0.8 mg/kg of the F(ab')2 fragment of a murine monoclonal antibody (7E3) directed against the platelet GPIIb/IIIa
This study compared the segregation patterns of human papillomavirus (HPV) in genital and nongenital warts in prepubertal children and adults. HPV 2 was detected in most nongenital warts in children and adults, whereas neither HPV 6 or 11 was detected at nongenital sites in either group with the use of in situ or Southern blot hybridization analyses. Of nine genital tract lesions in children. HPV 2 was detected in two and HPV 6 or 11 in six. More than 90% of cases of regional tract condylomata in adults contained HPV 6 or 11. HPV 2 was not detected in any of 99 genital tract lesions in adults. It is concluded that HPV 6/11 cannot proliferate at nongenital cutaneous sites and HPV 2 can proliferate in the genital tract of children but not adults. Thus, the detection of HPV 6 or 11 in a genital wart in a child implies, assuming cutaneous transmission, infection from a genital site, whereas the detection of HPV 2 presumes nongenital transmission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
