Cathepsin B in antigen-presenting cells controls mediators of the Th1 immune response during Leishmania major infection.

From this perspective, the suppression of Ca 2+ homeostasis observed in splenocytes of sleep- deprived mice may re fl ect a reduction in the immune response, but these cells may

The aim of this study was to analyze heparanase isoform expression and cathepsin B activity in plasma samples from patients with gastrointestinal carcinomas, compared with

induced in both human DMD and mouse models of muscular dystrophy, we attempted to model this increase by creating skeletal muscle-specific transgenic mice with increased

In this study, the humoral immune response of Swiss mice treated with mannoproteins (MP) from the yeast Saccharomyces uvarum was evaluated.. The mice were treated with MPs at

MHC class II antigen positive cells, apparent in the sections of the spleen, might render a link between the mild clinical signs expressed in EAE-induced mice and

Reduced trabecular thickness and BV/TV also were seen in male Akt2-deficient mice and their wild-type littermates compared with male wild-type mice from comparable Akt1-

The present results demonstrated increased levels of sTNFR2 in serum of patients with TR in comparison with controls, but no differences in TNF- ␣ and sTNFR1 levels were found..

T cells with partially opposing effect on neointima formation and that the lack of effect observed in MHC class II deficient mice is explained by a loss of all of these cells.
