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 ...
Autoimmunity in the brain: The pathogenesis insight from cell biology
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2007)
The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between leakage of the blood-brain barrier and inflammation, the reason why demyelination occurs - seemingly in the absence of an antigen-specific immune response that ...
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Montenegro
(Natl Inst Infectious Diseases, Tokyo, 2008)
The objective of the study was to analyze the epidemiological features of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Montenegro. The study included 169 cases of HFRS diagnosed in the period between 1995 and 2005 ...
A recombinant kiwi cystatin is a novel reagent for evaluation of the clinical relevance on phytocystatins in kiwi fruit allergy
(Blackwell Publishing, Oxford, 2008)
Early postnatal castration affects thymic and thymocyte noradrenaline levels and beta-adrenoceptor-mediated influence on the thymopoiesis in adult rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
The interactions among the nervous, endocrine and immune system were studied by examining: i) thymic and thymocyte catecholamine levels in adult rats castrated (Cx) at postnatal day 3 and ii) effects of 14-day-long propranolol ...
Age-associated changes in CD90 expression on thymocytes and in TCR-dependent stages of thymocyte maturation in male rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2006)
To elucidate the effects of ageing on T-cell-maturation, in 3- and 18-month-old rats, we analysed the expression of: (i) CD4/CD8/TCR alpha beta and (ii) Thy-1, which is supposed to be a regulator of TCR alpha beta signalling, ...
Beta-adrenoceptor blockade ameliorates the clinical course of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and diminishes its aggravation in adrenalectomized rats
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
As glucocorticoids influence both catecholamine synthesis and adrenoceptor expression by immune cells, the current study was undertaken to distinguish their direct effects on the development of experimental allergic ...
Maturation of IgG avidity to individual rubella virus structural proteins
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2001)
Background: the structural proteins of rubella virus, the capsid protein C and the envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 were produced in lepidopteran insect cells using baculovirus expression vectors. The C-terminal ends of ...
Changes in thymopoiesis in myasthenia gravis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2005)
This study was undertaken to investigate T-cell maturation ill hyperplastic thymi of patients suffering from myasthenia gravis (MG). For this purpose, the expression of the major differentiational molecules (CD4, CD8, and ...
IgE cross-reactivity between meadow fescue pollen and kiwi fruit in patients' sera with sensitivity to both extracts
(Hogefre and Huber Publishers, 2002)
Background: The presence of IgE reactivity to kiwi fruit and grass pollen allergens which could be caused by cross-reactivity has been detected in many patients with allergy. Proper identification of allergens as well ...
