Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Related Microbial Translocation and Progression of Hepatitis C
Ashwin Balagopal,Frances H. Philp,Jacquie Astemborski,Timothy M. Block,Anand Mehta,Ronald E. Long,Gregory D. Kirk,Shruti H. Mehta,Andrea L. Cox,David L. Thomas,Stuart C. Ray +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that HIV-related CD4 + lymphocyte depletion was associated with enhanced microbial translocation, and microbial translocated is a mechanism through which alcohol and some enteric conditions cause liver disease.

TL;DR: Using a high-throughput plate based approach, N-linked glycan analysis from serum samples depleted of the major acute phase proteins, followed by targeted lectin extraction of those proteins containing changes in glycosylation were performed.

Increased Levels of Galactose-Deficient Anti-Gal Immunoglobulin G in the Sera of Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Individuals with Fibrosis and Cirrhosis
Anand Mehta,Ronald E. Long,Mary Ann Comunale,Mengjun Wang,Lucy Rodemich,Jonathan Krakover,Ramila Philip,Jorge A. Marrero,Raymond A. Dwek,Timothy M. Block +9 more
TL;DR: Using comparative glycoproteomics, a glycoprotein is identified that is altered both in amount and in glycosylation as a function of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, an immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecule reactive to the heterophilic alpha-Gal epitope.
