Blocking of interleukin-10 receptor - A novel approach to stimulate T-helper cell type 1 responses to hepatitis C virus
(2005)Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with weak CD4+ T-helper type 1 reactivity and enhanced interleukin-10 production to HCV antigens. Here we demonstrate in vitro that monoclonal antibody-induced blockade ... -
CD8+T lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2007)Background. Recently it was shown that in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) tissue infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes (TLs) are associated with breathlessness and physiological indices of disease severity, as well as that ... -
Conformational properties of HIV-1 gp120/V3 immunogenic domains
(2005)Infection of target host cells by the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is a multi-step process involving a series of conformational changes in the viral gp120 and gp41 proteins. Gp120 binding to the main cell receptor, ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
The effect of hexanic extract of Serenoa repens on prostatic inflammation: results from a randomized biopsy study
(2019)Purpose: To evaluate the effect of hexanic extract of Serenoa repens (HESr) on prostatic inflammation in patients with diagnosed prostatic inflammation. Methods: Patients with prostatic inflammation histologically confirmed ... -
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition heterogeneity of circulating tumor cells and their correlation with mdscs and tregs in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients
(2021)Background: To investigate the correlation between circulating tumor cells (CTCs) bearing cancer stem cell (CSC) and epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) phenotypes and the different immunosuppressive cells in peripheral blood ... -
Expression of cytotoxic proteins in peripheral T-cell and natural killer-cell (NK) lymphomas: Association with extranodal site, NK or Tγδ phenotype, anaplastic morphology and CD30 expression
(2000)Most peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) express the αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) whereas rare PTCL express the γδ TCR. Most if not all γδ PTCL are extranodal lymphomas and among them, hepatosplenic γδ PTCL constitute a distinct ... -
In Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction, the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitor Roxadustat Suppresses Cellular and Humoral Alloimmunity
(2020)Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitors are currently used for the treatment of renal anemia. Since HIF affects immune cells, we evaluated the effect of such a drug, the roxadustat, on adaptive immunity. ... -
Sarcoptes scabiei dermatitis in adult sheep: an immunohistochemical study of 34 chronic cases with extensive lesions
(2021)Ovine sarcoptic mange is a contagious ectoparasitic skin disease, seen in many countries with sheep production. Although several studies concerning dermatopathology have been published, the local cutaneous immune response ... -
A systems biology approach uncovers cell-specific gene regulatory effects of genetic associations in multiple sclerosis
(2019)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 unique associations with common human traits. While this represents a substantial step forward, establishing the biology underlying these associations ... -
Th1/Th2 cytokine pattern in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and induced sputum in pulmonary sarcoidosis
(2005)Background: Sarcoidosis is thought to be a T-helper type 1 cytokine (Th2 cytokine) mediated disorder. Induced sputum (IS) has been proposed as a useful non-invasive method, mainly for the assessment of the airway diseases. ...
