DISTRIBUTION OF SAa2,6GAL AND SAa2,3GAL LINKED SURFACE RECEPTORS IN HUMAN RESPIRATORY TRACT AND ASSOCIATION WITH INFLUENZA VIRUS REPLICATION
To investigate the level of SAa2,6Gal and a2,3Gal linked receptors on human bronchial epithelial cells, and relate this to the ability of both human and avian influenza viruses to infect bronchial epithelial cells

Inflammatory Markers in Leg Ulcer Fluid from Chronic Venous Insufficiency
The purpose of our study was to evaluate soluble matrixmetalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitor (TIMP1) associated to leg ulcer wound fluid in comparison with the tissue localized ones. We aimed to develop an easy-to-perform protocol for the quantification of soluble MMPs / TIMP and associate the obtained levels with the disease stage and prognostic.

Biomarker Discovery Strategy for Trisomy 21 Using iTRAQ and 4800 Plus MALDI TOF/TOF
Plasma proteins serve as good indicators of disease as there are representative proteins from several cellular processes and thus a potential source for biomarker discovery. The large dynamic range of plasma proteins makes the analysis very challenging, as a large number of low abundance proteins are masked by a few high abundance proteins.

Antibody Array-Based Analysis of Expression Levels in Protein Mixtures Extracted from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Material using ULS Labeling
Protein was extracted from 7-year old FFPE samples of B-cell lymphoma and mamma carcinoma, followed by ULS labeling. Samples were used for single or two color assays using a custom-made antibody array. We observed differential expression levels for several captured analytes. In B-cell lymphoma, expected high levels of IgM were detected, while high levels of CA19-9, a putative marker, were found for the breast cancer tissue.

The Impact of the PCK1 Gene and PPCK1 Promoter Polymorphism 232C→G on the Incidence of TIIDM in Oji-Cree Natives of Ontario
The reported incidence of Type II Diabetes Mellitus (TIIDM) in Oji-Cree Natives is the highest in the world. This poster presents the impact of the PCK1 gene on TIIDM incidence in Oji-Cree Natives with particular attention to the role of SNP 232C→G on the transcription rate of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinease (PPCK1).

Combined Immune Parameters and X-ray data in Early Prediction of Anti-Tuberculosis Chemotherapy Response
20 tuberculosis (12 slow-responders and 8 fast responders) patients were treated with directly observed short course anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Chest X-ray was performed. sICAM-1 and suPAR were measured in serum by ELISA, TNFRs using the luminex technology. General discrimination analysis on selected analytes gave, 91.66% and 87,50% correctly classify fast responders and slow responder respectively. The support vector machine analysis gave 100% correct classification.
