17 beta-Estradiol influences in vitro response of aged rat splenic conventional dendritic cells to TLR4 and TLR7/8 agonists in an agonist specific manner
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
This study was undertaken considering that, despite the broad use of the unopposed estrogen replacement therapy in elderly women, data on estrogen influence on the functional capacity of dendritic cells (DCs), and consequently ...
In vitro stimulation of Balb/c and C57 BL/6 splenocytes by a recombinantly produced banana lectin isoform results in both a proliferation of T cells and an increased secretion of interferon-gamma
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Lectins are widely used in many types of assay but some lectins such as banana lectin (BanLec) are recognised as potent immunostimulators Although BanLec's structure and binding characteristics are now familiar, its ...
Strain specificities in influence of ageing on germinal centre reaction to inactivated influenza virus antigens in mice: Sex-based differences
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Considering variability in vaccine responsiveness across human populations, in respect to magnitude and quality, and importance of vaccines in the elderly, the influence of recipient genetic background on the kinetics of ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sex-Based Differences in Monocytic Lineage Cells Contribute to More Severe Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Female Rats Compared with Male Rats
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2020)
Monocytes' plasticity has an important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease exhibiting greater prevalence in women. Contribution of this phenomenon to sex bias in RA severity was ...
Role of ovarian hormones in T-cell homeostasis: From the thymus to the periphery
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, Jena, 2013)
The study explored the putative role of ovarian hormones in the peripubertal remodelling of peripheral T-cell compartment. Ovariectomy at age of 1 month enhanced the peripubertal rise in CD4+ and CD8+ cell numbers in ...
Somatostatin modulates T cells development in adult rat thymus
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
It is well known that somatostatin modulates thymic functions, such as binding to receptors. In order to elucidate the influence of somatostatin on the thymus architecture and the T cells maturation, young adult male rats ...
Resurgence of measles in Serbia 2010-2011 highlights the need for supplementary immunization activities
(Cambridge Univ Press, New York, 2016)
Between December 2010 and August 2011 an outbreak of measles occurred in Serbia with 363 reported cases. Sera and/or nose/throat swabs were collected from 193 patients and tested for measles-specific IgM antibodies by ELISA ...
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 ...
