Invasive fungal diseases are a major cause of death in renal allograft recipients. We previously reported that adjunctive recombinant human interferon‐γ therapy has clinical utility for invasive fungal diseases after renal transplantation. We have now developed a rapid peripheral blood‐based quantitative real‐time PCR assay that enables accurate profiling of cytokine imbalances. Our preliminary studies in renal transplant patients with invasive fungal diseases suggest that they fail to mount an adequate interferon‐γ response to the fungal infection. In addition, they have reduced IL‐10 and increased TNF‐α when compared to stable renal transplant patients. These preliminary cytokine profiling‐based observations provide a possible explanation for the therapeutic benefit of adjunctive human interferon‐γ therapy in renal allograft recipients with invasive fungal diseases.
This paper describes an automated RF-dc transfer difference measurement system developed at the National Metrology Centre, Singapore. The system uses calculable single junction thermal voltage converters as primary standards and various high frequency reference thermal converter standards to measure the RF-dc voltage transfer difference for frequency range from 100 kHz to 100 MHz at voltage range...
