Novel adjuvant based on a proteoliposome‐derived cochleate structure containing native lipopolysaccharide as a pathogen‐associated molecular patternImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 82 Số 6 - Trang 603-610 - 2004

Proteoliposomes (PL) from Neisseria meningitidis B have been widely used as a
core antigen for antimeningococcal vaccination. PL contain major outer membrane
proteins, LPS and phospholipids, and they induce a strong Th1 immune response,
but they have low stability in solution. Attending to the need for new vaccine
adjuvants, we developed a highly stable cochleate structure (CS) from PL using a

TB vaccines: current status and future perspectivesImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 4 - Trang 279-286 - 2009
Claus Aagaard, Jes Dietrich, Mark Doherty, Peter Andersen
Vaccines against intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis need
to induce strong cellular immune responses. Antigen discovery programs have
exploited this and used proteome studies and T‐cell recognition in PPD‐positive
individuals to select proteins and after testing for protective efficacy in
animals the most promising proteins have been put together in fusion molecules.

Activation‐induced cell death: The controversial role of Fas and Fas ligand in immune privilege and tumour counterattackImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 80 Số 2 - Trang 131-137 - 2002
Stephen G. Maher, Deirdre Toomey, Claire Condron, David Bouchier‐Hayes
Activation‐induced cell death (AICD) is the process by which cells undergo
apoptosis in a controlled manner through the interaction of a death factor and
its receptor. Programmed cell death can be induced by a number of physiological
and pathological factors including Fas (CD95)–Fas ligand (FasL/CD95L)
interaction, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), ceramide, and reactive oxygen species
(ROS). Fas is a... hiện toàn bộ
Insights into inflammatory bowel disease using Toxoplasma gondii as an infectious triggerImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 90 Số 7 - Trang 668-675 - 2012
Charlotte E. Egan, Sara Cohen, Eric Denkers
Oral infection of certain inbred mouse strains with the protozoan Toxoplasma
gondii triggers inflammatory pathology resembling lesions seen during human
inflammatory bowel disease, in particular Crohn's disease (CD). Damage triggered
by the parasite is largely localized to the distal portion of the small
intestine, and as such is one of only a few models for ileal inflammation. This
is important b... hiện toàn bộ
THE EFFECT OF PHENYLEPHRINE ON EXCRETION OF FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES BY THE PAROTID AND MANDIBULAR GLANDS OF THE RATImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 57 Số 5 - Trang 555-562 - 1979
JA Young, DI Cook, G.R.D. Jones, Joe McGirr, Campbell H. Thompson
SummaryThe effect has been investigated of the α‐adrenergic agonist,
phenylephrine, on excretion of water and electrolytes (Na, K, and HCO3) by the
parotid and mandibular glands of the rat. In the mandibular glands the agonist
was as effective as acetylcholine (or parasympathetic nerve stimulation) in
stimulating secretion, and the electrolyte excretory patterns seen in the two
modes of stimulatio... hiện toàn bộ
Why is effective treatment of asthma so difficult? An integrated systems biology hypothesis of asthmaImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 8 - Trang 601-605 - 2009
Norbert F. Voelkel, Sarah Spiegel
A hypothesis is presented that asthma is not only an airway disease, but that
the disease involves the entire lung, and that the chronicity of asthma and
asthma exacerbations can perhaps be explained if one considers asthma as a
systemic disease. Increased lung—not only airway—vascularity may be the result
of the action of angiogenesis factors, such as vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF) and... hiện toàn bộ
Differences in antigen‐binding affinity caused by single amino acid substitution in the variable region of the heavy chainImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 71 Số 4 - Trang 239-247 - 1993

SummarySite‐directed mutagenesis has been used to examine the importance of
histidine‐99 in the VH CDR3 region of a mouse/human chimeric anti‐TAG72
antibody, cB72.3‐1‐3. The expression vectors mpSV2neo‐EPl‐Vm4–10C.γ1, containing
seven different mutant VH region fragments (Vm4–10) in association with the
immunoglobulin enhancer (E), promoter (P1) and human genomic Cγ1 region
fragments, were transfe... hiện toàn bộ
STUDIES ON CYTOPHILIC ANTIBODIESImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 51-61 - 1968
Steven Kossard, D. S. Nelson
SummaryAn attempt was made to study the. dynamics of the interaction between
cytophilie antibodies and the macrophage surface. Two aspects of the problem
received particular attention: (1) the ability of macrophage cytophilic
antibodies to sensitize (confer an affinity for antigen upon) cells of different
species, and (2) the inhibitory effect of normal sera on homologous and
heterologons sensitiz... hiện toàn bộ
