Age-Associated Remodeling of Thymopoiesis: Role for Gonadal Hormones and Catecholamines
(Karger, Basel, 2008)
The present review summarizes recent data on age-related thymic changes termed thymic involution, and highlights the putative role of perturbances in extrathymical and, possibly, intrathymical production of gonadal steroids ...
Noradrenaline modulates CD4+T cell priming in rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis: a role for the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2019)
Pharmacological blockade of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor is shown to influence development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an IL-17-producing CD4+TCR+ (Th17) cell-mediated disease mimicking multiple sclerosis. ...
Changes in Composition of IgM Polymers in Patients Suffering from Recurrent Urinary Bacterial Infections after Bacterial Immunization Treatment
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2010)
IgM is the first antibody produced during the immune response to infection or immunization, and it can be secreted as pentamer (containing a small polypeptide, termed as J chain) or hexamer (lacking J chain). In this paper ...
Hexameric immunoglobulin M in humans: Desired or unwanted?
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2011)
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the first antibody produced upon infection, and is often suggested as the first line of defense of human immune system. In addition to being present on the surface of naive B cells as a monomeric ...
Magnetic brain stimulation upregulates adhesion and prevents EAE: MMP-2, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in the choroid plexus as a target
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2009)
We are most thankful to Prof. Yehuda Shoenfeld, head of Autoimmunity Center, Sheba Hospital at Tel Aviv, University in Israel, for critical and constructive comments on the manuscript. Thanks to Prof. B. Reljin and N. ...
Propranolol Impairs Primary Immune Responses in Rat Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
(Karger, Basel, 2019)
Objective: We examined the effect of beta-adrenoceptor (AR) blockade in the preclinical phase of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most commonly used model of multiple sclerosis, on the development of ...
Effects of catecholamines on thymocyte apoptosis and proliferation depend on thymocyte microenvironment
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The present study, through quantification of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression and catecholamine (CA) content in the presence and in the absence of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMPT), a TH inhibitor, in adult thymic organ ...
The effects of corticosterone and beta-endorphin on adherence, phagocytosis and hydrogen peroxide production of macrophages isolated from Dark Agouti rats exposed to acute stress
(Karger, Basel, 2008)
Background: Given that stressful experiences can change the reaction to a subsequent exposure to stress, we tested the in vitro effects of the stress mediator corticosterone and the opioid peptide beta-endorphin on the ...
Human vaginal Lactobacillus rhamnosus harbor mutation in 23S rRNA associated with erythromycin resistance
(Elsevier, 2009)
Little is known about the diversity and distribution of resistance determinants in human commensal bacteria. The aim of this study was to determine the molecular mechanism responsible for high-level erythromycin resistance ...
Identification and molecular characterization of Chryseobacterium vrystaatense ST1 isolated from oligomineral water of southeast Serbia
(Srpsko biološko društvo, Beograd, i dr., 2012)
The isolation and molecular characterization of bacterial strains isolated from water sources in the Vlasina Mountain in southeast Serbia, confirmed the presence of a new species Chryseobacterium vrystaatense ST1. This ...
