Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation of Mast Cell Distribution in Oral Lichen Planus and Lichenoid Lesions by Immunohistochemical and Histochemical AnalysisMahi Balci, Mustafa Emre ErcinThe histopathological assessment of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesions is relatively subjective. The distinguishing criteria established by WHO effectively reproducible when all selection criteria were fulfilling but sometimes fail to provide a reliable diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mast cell counts and their distribution among OLP and lichenoid lesions. The density and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMast Cells Inhibit CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Rejection of a Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma-Like Tumor: Involvement of Fas-Fas Ligand AxisHiroshi Furukawa, Hiroshi Kitazawa, Izumi Kaneko et al.Problem statement: Mast cells develop from bone marrow-derived progenitor cells and are distributed in the skin or mucosa where they play proinflammatory roles in the first line of defense. Since some tumors in humans and experimental animals exhibited infiltration of increased mast cells, we investigated the contribution of mast cells to the override of tumor rejection. Approach: MRL/N-1 cells are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmune Response, Detection of IgE and PGE2 during Vaginal Candidiasis in MiceRosymar Coutinho Lucas, Rafael Taglialegna, Carolina Nunes França et al.Vulvovaginal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection that affects most women in adult life, but the defense mechanism remains to be elucidated. Animals treated with estradiol were inoculated with Candida albicans having high virulence power. The experimental control consisted of animal groups treated with estradiol and animals without treatment that were inoculated with physiologic serum. The vaginal wall was collected, at … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 14 Jul 2016 · 6,976 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Short-Term Canine Full-Thickness Skin Organ Culture Method under Serum-Free ConditionsFrancesca Abramo, Andrea Pirone, Carla Lenzi et al.Full-thickness canine skin organ culture models could provide an entirely new opportunity for studying wound healing, keratinization disorders and allergic skin diseases, all of which have high prevalence and severe impact on canine quality of life. Here we present a canine organ culture method for the short-term maintenance of full-thickness, adult, canine skin in serum-free medium and investigate the possibility … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2016 · 7,380 accessesView PDF Cite
