In contrast, there are as yet few reports describ- ing direct interactions between DCs and NK cells. In addition, most of them have analyzed the lysis of DCs by activated NK cells (Chambers et al., 1998). In this chapter, after a brief intro- duction to NK cells, we will show that...
There are 13 to 14 subtypes of type I interferons. They are secreted by many cell types, including lymphocytes (NK cells, B-cells and T-cells), macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, osteoblasts and others The genes coding for type I interferons are located in the chromosome 9 of human...
The role of gender as a variable that might affect the metabolism of ethanol and thus the hepatotoxicity of ethanol is evaluated. First, the pharmacodynamics of ethanol are reviewed with particular attention to hormone effects on ethanol absorption and metabolism. Specific differences between males and...
This excess oil can’t flow freely out of the pores anymore. Instead, it gets stuck inside, where it gets mixed with dead skin cells,bacteria, and in this case, the offending skincare product. This clog gets inflamed, leading to pimples galore and an acne breakout. ...
A binary dataset is a data matrix about the relationship between a set of objects[7]. Only two elements in a binary matrix are 0 and 1. For the biclustering algorithm that processes the binary data matrix converted from gene expression data, we call it binary biclustering algorithm for con-...
leukocytes which consist of a nucleus with one lobe.Monocytesandlymphocytesare belonging to this category of cells. Lymphocytes includeB cells, T cellsandnatural killer cells(NK cells). Monocytes lead to the development ofmacrophages. All these cells are major cellular components of the immune ...
Therefore, the mRNA:DNA ratio points to a differ- entiated physiological status of the cells depending on depth and a surprisingly high number of transcripts in the anoxic zone. Microarray analyses Although the microarray analysis leads to essen- tially the same conclusions as t-RFLP analysis, ...
In addition to CNS-specific cells like glia, there is also a very small CNS-resident population of T cells, B cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells that can be activated and expand upon inflammatory insults [[46], [47], [48], [49]]. Should inflammation persist, evidence has shown that...
Dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer (NK), γδ T cells, and their secreted cytokines play protective roles against such infections [25, 26]. The present work aimed to determine the prevalence of tuberculin-positive buffaloes and cattle from some governorates of the ...
