Gonadal hormone dependent developmental plasticity of catecholamine:beta 2-adrenoceptor signaling complex in male rat thymus: Putative implications for thymopoiesis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2013)
The study was undertaken considering that: i) androgens affect beta(2)-adrenoceptor (AR)-mediated catecholamine (CA) action in many tissues; and ii) peripubertal changes in both circulating androgen and thymic CA levels ...
Long-term beta-adrenergic receptor blockade increases levels of the most mature thymocyte subsets in aged rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
Age-related increase in the density of thymic noradrenergic fibres and noradrenaline (NA) concentration is proposed to be associated with thymic involution and altered thymopoiesis. To test this hypothesis thymocyte ...
Differential effects of male and female gonadal hormones on the intrathymic T cell maturation
(Harwood Academic Publishers GmbH, 2001)
The study was undertaken to further elucidate a role of gonadal hormones in maintenance of normal thymocyte maturation and sexual dimorphism in the intrathymic T-cell development. Rats of both sexes were gonadectomized or ...
Infection-induced autoantibodies and pregnancy related pathology: an animal model
(Csiro Publishing, Clayton, 2014)
In addition to being the main cause of mortality worldwide, bacterial and viral infections can be the cause of autoimmune and pregnancy disorders as well. The production of autoantibodies during infection can be explained ...
Murine Monoclonal Antibody 26 Raised Against Tetanus Toxoid Cross-Reacts with beta(2)-Glycoprotein I: Its Characteristics and Role in Molecular Mimicry
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2009)
Studies on experimental antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) models proved that molecular mimicry between plasma protein beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)GPI) and structure within micro-organisms or their products, might be a ...
Differential effects of chronic propranolol treatment on the phenotypic profile of thymocytes from immature and adult rats
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2000)
To elucidate a putative role of beta-adrenoceptors in the modulation of intrathymic T-cell maturation, the expression of major differentiational antigene (CD4/CD8 and TCR alpha beta) on the thymocytes from both immature ...
Banana lectin interactions with the immune system: Implications for future therapeutic applications
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2011)
Lectins are a highly diverse group of proteins whose biological functions have been associated with the carbohydrate binding activities. Banana lectin is a member of the jacalin-related family of lectins, and belongs to ...
Allergenicity and immunogenicity of the major mugwort pollen allergen Art v 1 chemically modified by acetylation
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2009)
Treating allergies with modified allergens is an approach to make the treatment safer and more efficient. Art v 1 is the most prominent allergen of mugwort pollen and a significant cause of hayfever around Europe. The aim ...
Polymorphisms of the Prion Protein Gene (PRNP) in a Serbian Population
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2010)
Prion diseases are a group of etiologically heterogenous neurodegenerative disorders. We have analyzed the coding region of PRNP gene in 121 healthy citizens of Serbia to determine whether the frequencies of M129V, E219K, ...
