Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential of HMEC-1 Line and HUVEC Primary Culture Cells to Study the Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor in vitroLuz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Felipe Vadillo-Ortega et al.The neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and immunity passive transfer. Fine points regarding these mechanisms, however, are still emerging. In order to obtain information about these phenomena, it is essential to have in vitro models of endothelium that express this receptor. In this study we chose two widely used models of human endothelial … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 9,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnti-Prm Antibody as an Autoantibody in Dengue Virus InfectionKao-Jean Huang, Yu-Tien Cheng, Yee-Shin Lin et al.We have reported that anti-prM antibody is an enhancing antibody that enhances DV infection of non-Fc receptor bearing cells by dual specificity. We identified the epitope recognized by this anti-prM antibody, M3, which is located at the a.a.53-67of the prM protein nearby the prM/M cleavage junction and these anti-M3 antibodies could be detected in dengue patients sera. Surprisingly, this anti-prM … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of D- and L-Glucose and Mannitol on Retinal Capillary Cells: Inhibition by Nanomolar AminoguanidineYongxin Yu, Wei Li, Barbara Wojciechowski et al.Hyperglycemia may contribute directly to pericyte loss and capillary leakage in early diabetic retinopathy. To elucidate relative contributions of glycation, glycoxidation, sugar autoxidation, osmotic stress and metabolic effects in glucose-mediated capillary damage, we tested the effects of D-glucose, L-glucose, mannitol and the potentially protective effects of aminoguanidine on cultured bovine retinal capillary pericytes and endothelial cells. Media (containing 5 mM … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,749 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom Health to Disease: Functional Insights of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I in Lipid Metabolism and Disease PathogenesisSujina Simon Sailet, Poornima Ajay Manjrekar, Santosh Rai et al.Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-B1) has caught considerable interest among the scientific community due to its pivotal role in several biological and pathological processes. It is a multifunctional integral membrane protein and multiligand receptor encoded by the SCARB1 gene. SR-B1 has a wide distribution, primarily in the liver as well as steroidogenic organs including the gonads and adrenal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2025 · 3,667 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Main Heat Shock Proteins on AtherosclerosisAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Alexey V. Churov et al.Atherosclerosis is a multifaceted disease characterized by complex pathogenesis involving diverse mechanisms. In recent years, the autoimmune nature of atherosclerosis has gained significant attention, emphasizing the indispensable role of the immune system in its initiation and progression. Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are vital for cellular functionality, facilitating cellular adaptation to environmental changes and survival under adverse conditions. Notably, various HSP … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2024 · 4,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWound Healing Activity of Chlorogenic Acid in Diabetic Rats is Mediated Through Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Proliferative EffectsAbdullah Abdulrahman Al-Ghanayem, Mohammed Sanad Alhussaini, AbdulRahman Abdulla Ibrahim Alyahya et al.Chlorogenic acid is known to have antibacterial action against a number of pathogens. This study provides insights into the potentiality of chlorogenic acid in the treatment of chronic infection in wounds. The anti-infective and healing effect of chlorogenic acid in infected wounds was evaluated using diabetic rats. Antibacterial activity of chlorogenic acid against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 21 Jan 2024 · 6,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of a Nephropathogenic Strain of Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) in Some Northern Provinces in VietnamTran Duc Hoan, Doan Thi Thao, Nguyen Dinh Nguyen et al.The nine-day-old Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) chicken embryos were inoculated with the XDC-2 strain of Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV). 50% Embryo Infectious Dose (EID50) and pathological lesions were detected in the developing embryo. At the same time, 18-day-old SPF chickens were inoculated with the same strain of IBV in case of 5 chickens were injected with sterile PBS (1X, pH 7.4) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2023 · 5,902 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Lactobacillus Plantarum and Bacterial Peptidoglycan on the Growth of Mouse Tumors in vivo and in vitroArpa Aintablian, Dalal F. Jaber, Mary Ann Jallad, Alexander M. AbdelnoorSome members of the microbiota have been shown to be effective strategies for inhibiting tumor growth through stimulation of host anti-tumor immune responses. Anti-tumor immune effects were observed when Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp), a member of the gut microbiota, was used to treat colorectal cancer in mice. Moreover, constituents of bacteria, including peptidoglycan (PG), have been shown to exhibit tumoricidal effects. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
