Role of gonadal hormones in programming developmental changes in thymopoietic efficiency and sexual diergism in thymopoiesis
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2012)
There is a growing body of evidence indicating the important role of the neonatal steroid milieu in programming sexually diergic changes in thymopoietic efficiency, which in rodents occur around puberty and lead to a ...
Evaluation of IgE reactivity of active and thermally inactivated actinidin, a biomarker of kiwifruit allergy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Actinidin, an abundant cysteine protease from kiwifruit, is a specific biomarker of isolated allergy to kiwifruit. This study evaluates the IgE-binding properties of biologically active and thermally inactivated actinidin. ...
Aluminum excytotoxicity and neuroautotoimmunity: The role of the brain expression of CD32+ (FcγRIIa), ICAM-1+ and CD3ε in aging
(Current Aging Science, 2012)
In the central nervous system (CNS) microglia are crucial for the defense of the brain against invading microorganisms, formation of tumors, and damage following trauma [1]. However, uncontrolled activation of these cells ...
Glucocorticoid-catecholamine interplay within the composite thymopoietic regulatory network
(Blackwell Science Publ, Oxford, 2012)
This paper highlights the multiple putative thymic and extrathymic points of intersection and interaction between glucocorticoids (GCs) and catecholamines (CAs)-the end-point mediators of the major routes of communication ...
Molecular and immunological characterization of Mus a 5 allergen from banana fruit
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
Scope Banana fruit has become an important cause of fruit allergy in the recent years. Among the five registered IUIS allergens, Mus a 1 and Mus a 2 have been characterized in detail. In this study, molecular characterization ...
Neuropeptide Y: The story, the players, the outcomes
(Springer-Verlag Wien, 2012)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide consisted of 36 amino acids. It is designated by a capital letter Y due to the presence of many tyrosine residues which are abbreviated by the letter Y in the single letter amino acid code. ...
One-step method for isolation and purification of native beta-lactoglobulin from bovine whey
(Wiley-Blackwell, Malden, 2012)
BACKGROUND: The major whey protein beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) has been widely studied for its functional properties. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient, inexpensive and rapid one-step method for the isolation ...
Two seasons' experience with pandemic A H1N1 influenza infection in neonates
(Turkish J Pediatrics, Ankara, 2012)
There are only a few reports on influenza A H1N1 infection in neonates. In this paper, we present our additional experience on the clinical characteristics, epidemiology and treatment of influenza A H1N1 (2009) infection ...
End-point effector stress mediators in neuroimmune interactions: their role in immune system homeostasis and autoimmune pathology
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2012)
Much evidence has identified a direct anatomical and functional link between the brain and the immune system, with glucocorticoids (GCs), catecholamines (CAs), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) as its end-point mediators. This ...
