    Description: Investigation of the human antibody response to influenza virus infection has been largely limited to serology, with relatively little analysis at the molecular level. The 1918 H1N1 influenza virus pandemic was the most severe of the modern era. Recent work has recovered the gene sequences of this unusual strain, so that the 1918 pandemic virus could be reconstituted to display its unique virulence phenotypes. However, little is known about adaptive immunity to this virus. We took advantage of the 1918 virus sequencing and the resultant production of recombinant 1918 haemagglutinin (HA) protein antigen to characterize at the clonal level neutralizing antibodies induced by natural exposure of survivors to the 1918 pandemic virus. Here we show that of the 32 individuals tested that were born in or before 1915, each showed seroreactivity with the 1918 virus, nearly 90 years after the pandemic. Seven of the eight donor samples tested had circulating B cells that secreted antibodies that bound the 1918 HA. We isolated B cells from subjects and generated five monoclonal antibodies that showed potent neutralizing activity against 1918 virus from three separate donors. These antibodies also cross-reacted with the genetically similar HA of a 1930 swine H1N1 influenza strain, but did not cross-react with HAs of more contemporary human influenza viruses. The antibody genes had an unusually high degree of somatic mutation. The antibodies bound to the 1918 HA protein with high affinity, had exceptional virus-neutralizing potency and protected mice from lethal infection. Isolation of viruses that escaped inhibition suggested that the antibodies recognize classical antigenic sites on the HA surface. Thus, these studies demonstrate that survivors of the 1918 influenza pandemic possess highly functional, virus-neutralizing antibodies to this uniquely virulent virus, and that humans can sustain circulating B memory cells to viruses for many decades after exposure-well into the tenth decade of life.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848880/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848880/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yu, Xiaocong -- Tsibane, Tshidi -- McGraw, Patricia A -- House, Frances S -- Keefer, Christopher J -- Hicar, Mark D -- Tumpey, Terrence M -- Pappas, Claudia -- Perrone, Lucy A -- Martinez, Osvaldo -- Stevens, James -- Wilson, Ian A -- Aguilar, Patricia V -- Altschuler, Eric L -- Basler, Christopher F -- Crowe, James E Jr -- AI057158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI42266/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA55896/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI058113/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI048677/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI048677-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI057229/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI62623/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 AI057157/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 AI057157-019002/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54 AI57158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Sep 25;455(7212):532-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07231.

    Description: The imprints of domestication and breed development on the genomes of livestock likely differ from those of companion animals. A deep draft sequence assembly of shotgun reads from a single Hereford female and comparative sequences sampled from six additional breeds were used to develop probes to interrogate 37,470 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 497 cattle from 19 geographically and biologically diverse breeds. These data show that cattle have undergone a rapid recent decrease in effective population size from a very large ancestral population, possibly due to bottlenecks associated with domestication, selection, and breed formation. Domestication and artificial selection appear to have left detectable signatures of selection within the cattle genome, yet the current levels of diversity within breeds are at least as great as exists within humans.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2735092/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2735092/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bovine HapMap Consortium -- Gibbs, Richard A -- Taylor, Jeremy F -- Van Tassell, Curtis P -- Barendse, William -- Eversole, Kellye A -- Gill, Clare A -- Green, Ronnie D -- Hamernik, Debora L -- Kappes, Steven M -- Lien, Sigbjorn -- Matukumalli, Lakshmi K -- McEwan, John C -- Nazareth, Lynne V -- Schnabel, Robert D -- Weinstock, George M -- Wheeler, David A -- Ajmone-Marsan, Paolo -- Boettcher, Paul J -- Caetano, Alexandre R -- Garcia, Jose Fernando -- Hanotte, Olivier -- Mariani, Paola -- Skow, Loren C -- Sonstegard, Tad S -- Williams, John L -- Diallo, Boubacar -- Hailemariam, Lemecha -- Martinez, Mario L -- Morris, Chris A -- Silva, Luiz O C -- Spelman, Richard J -- Mulatu, Woudyalew -- Zhao, Keyan -- Abbey, Colette A -- Agaba, Morris -- Araujo, Flabio R -- Bunch, Rowan J -- Burton, James -- Gorni, Chiara -- Olivier, Hanotte -- Harrison, Blair E -- Luff, Bill -- Machado, Marco A -- Mwakaya, Joel -- Plastow, Graham -- Sim, Warren -- Smith, Timothy -- Thomas, Merle B -- Valentini, Alessio -- Williams, Paul -- Womack, James -- Woolliams, John A -- Liu, Yue -- Qin, Xiang -- Worley, Kim C -- Gao, Chuan -- Jiang, Huaiyang -- Moore, Stephen S -- Ren, Yanru -- Song, Xing-Zhi -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Hernandez, Ryan D -- Muzny, Donna M -- Patil, Shobha -- San Lucas, Anthony -- Fu, Qing -- Kent, Matthew P -- Vega, Richard -- Matukumalli, Aruna -- McWilliam, Sean -- Sclep, Gert -- Bryc, Katarzyna -- Choi, Jungwoo -- Gao, Hong -- Grefenstette, John J -- Murdoch, Brenda -- Stella, Alessandra -- Villa-Angulo, Rafael -- Wright, Mark -- Aerts, Jan -- Jann, Oliver -- Negrini, Riccardo -- Goddard, Mike E -- Hayes, Ben J -- Bradley, Daniel G -- Barbosa da Silva, Marcos -- Lau, Lilian P L -- Liu, George E -- Lynn, David J -- Panzitta, Francesca -- Dodds, Ken G -- R01 GM083606/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Apr 24;324(5926):528-32. doi: 10.1126/science.1167936.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19390050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Understanding why some people establish and maintain effective control of HIV-1 and others do not is a priority in the effort to develop new treatments for HIV/AIDS. Using a whole-genome association strategy, we identified polymorphisms that explain nearly 15% of the variation among individuals in viral load during the asymptomatic set-point period of infection. One of these is found within an endogenous retroviral element and is associated with major histocompatibility allele human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*5701, whereas a second is located near the HLA-C gene. An additional analysis of the time to HIV disease progression implicated two genes, one of which encodes an RNA polymerase I subunit. These findings emphasize the importance of studying human genetic variation as a guide to combating infectious agents.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1991296/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1991296/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fellay, Jacques -- Shianna, Kevin V -- Ge, Dongliang -- Colombo, Sara -- Ledergerber, Bruno -- Weale, Mike -- Zhang, Kunlin -- Gumbs, Curtis -- Castagna, Antonella -- Cossarizza, Andrea -- Cozzi-Lepri, Alessandro -- De Luca, Andrea -- Easterbrook, Philippa -- Francioli, Patrick -- Mallal, Simon -- Martinez-Picado, Javier -- Miro, Jose M -- Obel, Niels -- Smith, Jason P -- Wyniger, Josiane -- Descombes, Patrick -- Antonarakis, Stylianos E -- Letvin, Norman L -- McMichael, Andrew J -- Haynes, Barton F -- Telenti, Amalio -- Goldstein, David B -- G0200585/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U137884177/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- U19 AI067854/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI067854-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Aug 17;317(5840):944-7.

    Description: Utilizando cinco estaciones costeras del área continental del Ecuador y una ubicada en las Islas Galápagos, se analizan cinco parámetros océanicos y atmosféricos en el período comprendido de 1975 a 2002. Empleando técnicas estadísticas se determinó un índice multivariado, el mismo que describe la variabilidad climática en el área del Pacífico ecuatoriano durante los eventos ENOS (fase cálida y fría). El índice calculado tiene una correlación de 0.65 con el comportamiento observado de los eventos, considerando como principal indicador la región niño 1+2.
    Description: Using five coastal stations of the continental area of the Ecuador and one located in the Galapagos Island, five oceanic and atmospheric parameters are analyzed in the period from 1975 to 2002. Using statistical techniques and index multivariate was determined, to describe the climatic variability in the area of the Ecuadorian Pacific during the ENOS events (warm and cold phase). The index output has 0.65 correlation with observed behaviour of events, taking as main indicator niño 1-2 region.

    Description: Usando series de tiempo de promedios diarios de nivel del mar en años caracterizados por la ocurrencia de eventos El Niño en la estación mareográfica de La Libertad (02°15'S-81°27'W), se aplicaron las técnicas del análisis espectral para determinar la correlación existente entre los eventos pasados y el primer semestre de 1997. Se obtuvieron niveles significativos de coherencia entre el evento El Niño 1982-1983 con el evento del 1997. El análisis espectral comparativo permitió obtener las ondas predominantes, la amplitud y el ángulo de fase de cada una de ellas. Con estos parámetros y aplicando la serie de Fourier, se generó una serie del nivel del mar que permitió predecir el comportamiento del nivel del mar en La Libertas desde julio 97 hasta marzo 98 con un 73% de correlación. El método fue óptimo para indicar con buena aproximación el comportamiento dinámico del evento cálido aún cuando los valores absolutos de nivel del mar tuvieron un margen mayor de error. Se evidenció la estrecha relación entre el comportamiento dinámico y térmico del océano durante el desarrollo de un evento El Niño. El análisis de los espectros evidenció el importante aporte de energía de las ondas interestacionales en el océano y sugiere que los eventos El Niño tienen patrones de interacción de las ondas océanicas que podrían ser de naturaleza recurrente y por lo tanto predecibles a partir de datos históricos disponibles.
    Description: Using times series of daily averages of sea level during years of occurrence of events El Niño in the station of La Libertad (02°15'S-81°27'W), techniques of spectral analysis were applied to determine the existence correlation between the last events and the first semester of 1997. Significant levels of coherence were obtained among the event El Niño 1982-1983 with the event of 1997. The comparative spectral analysis allowed to obtain the predominant waves, the amplitude and the angle of phase of each one of them. With this parameters and applying the Fourier series, a sea level serie was generated and allowed to predict the behavior of the sea level in La Libertad since july 1997 until march 1998 with a correlation of 73%. The method was acceptable to indicate with a close approach the dynamic behavior of the warm event when the absolute values of sea level had a bigger margin of error. The narrow relationship was evidenced among the dynamic and thermal behavior of the ocean during the development of an event El Niño. The analysis of the spectra evidenced the important contribution of energy of the intraseasonal waves in the ocean. It suggest that the events El Niño have interaction patterns of the oceanic waves that would be recurred and there fore predictable.

    Description: El objetivo de este artículo es documentar científicamente la evolución del evento "El Niño" en Ecuador, desde el punto de vista oceanográfico, sugiriendo posibles mecanismos involucrados en este proceso, vinculados a ondas interestacionales Kelvin en el océano (Kessler et al., 1995) que actúan como contraparte a las oscilaciones de 60 a 75 días en la atmósfera (Maden - Julian, 1995) y más específicamente de ondas encontradas en los espectros de nivel medio del mar y TSM en el mar ecuatoriano- colombiano con estas mismas características (Martínez, 1998).
