Serial sections were immunolabeled for the integrins alpha(2)beta(1), alpha(v)beta(3), alpha(4)beta(1), alpha(L)beta(2) (CD11a), alpha(M)beta(2) (CD11b), and alpha(X)beta(2) (CD11c), and the ligands fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and ...
dendritic cellsDC subsetsmonocytesmacrophagesnomenclatureThe name dendritic cell (DC) was given by Steinman to describe the unusual cell type he saw in spleen cell suspensions. This morphological description is not sufficient to specify the cell of so much interest to immunologists; many cells can ...
Fat cells express a wide variety of matrix proteins as well as the enzymes required to break them down, and the expression of these genes is highly regulated by changes in nutrient availability (Maquoi et al., 2002). Current thinking holds that relaxation of the matrix allows healthy ...
After more than ten years of human research in the field of cardiac regenerative medicine, application of stem cells in different phases of ischemic heart disease has come to age. Randomized clinical...
(high), CD2, CD26, CD38, CD94 (high), and HLADR (high, heterogeneous) antigens, and negative for surface CD3, TCR, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD11b, CD11c, CD16, CD56, CD57, and CD161, as well as for cytoplasmic CD3; in addition, they express intracellular granzyme B and perforin...
We found three distinct subpopulations of migrating OMDCs within the RLNs: CD11c hi CD207 (F1), CD11c int/lo CD207 (F2) and CD11c int/lo CD207 + (F3). The F1 DCs reached the RLNs earlier (after 24hr) but diminished immediately. Additionally, F1 DCs expressed high levels of CD11b....
