      Changes in T Cell Receptor Excision DNA Circle (TREC) Levels in HIV Type 1-Infected Subjects Pre- and Post-Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy 

      Touloumi, G.; Pantazis, N.; Karafoulidou, A.; Mandalaki, T.; Goedert, J. J.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Hatzakis, Angelos E. (2004)
      The T cell receptor excision DNA circle (TREC) level is an independent predictor of HIV-1 disease prognosis. We studied the temporal changes in TREC levels prior to and after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) ...

      Fast Screening of Whole Blood Samples and Pharmaceutical Compounds for Enantiorecognition of Free L-T3, L-T4, and D-T4 

      Mitrofan, Grigorina; Stefan-Van Staden, R. -I; Comnea‐Stancu, Ionela Raluca; Van Staden, J. F.; Bazylak, Grzegorz O.; Kapnissi‐Christodoulou, Constantina P.; Aboul‐Enein, Hassan Y. (2015)
      A fast screening method of whole blood was proposed for enantiorecognition of free L-T3, L-T4, and D-T4. Stochastic microsensors based on four inulins (IN, IQ, TEX, and HD) immobilized on diamond paste (DP) were used for ...
