Periodontopathic bacterial endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis factor α production was inhibited by exercise in mice [PDF]
The effects of exercise on serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels were investigated using mice. Five-week-old female BALB/c mice (Th2-biased) and C57BL/6 mice (Th1-biased) were divided into exercise and control groups. The exercise group was exercised in a rotating basket type treadmill for 1 h (5 r.p.m.).

Ornithine-containing lipids stimulate CD14-dependent TNF-α production from murine macrophage-like J774.1 and RAW 264.7 cells [PDF]
The ornithine-containing lipids (OL)-induced cytokine production pattern in macrophage-like J774.1 and RAW 264.7 cells was different from that in the peritoneal macrophages previously reported. OLs, as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Escherichia coli, strongly induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha but not interleukin (IL)-1beta in J774.1 cells.

Dextran sulphate enhancement of lipopolysaccharide-induced tumour necrosis factor-α production by murine peritoneal macrophages: Correlation with macrophage blockade [PDF]
Proteose peptone-induced murine peritoneal macrophages (M phi) were preincubated with 100-800 micrograms/ml of dextran sulphate (DS) 500 (M(r) 500,000) or DS1000 (M(r) 1,000,000). After 2-24 h of the preincubation, the M phi were stimulated with 1 microgram/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro for 18 h in DS-free culture medium.

Msp2 variation inAnaplasma phagocytophilum in vivodoes not stimulate T cell immune responses or interferon-γ production [PDF]
Msp2 is Anaplasma phagocytophilum's immunodominant protein. Antigenic variability with msp2 gene conversion may drive differential immunopathology with infection by bacteria of different in vitro passage intervals. We examined msp2 transcript variation and its relationship to histopathology, T-cell and antibody responses in mice infected with ...

Histamine receptor H1 is required for TCR-mediated p38 MAPK activation and optimal IFN-γ production in mice [PDF]
Histamine receptor H1 (H1R) is a susceptibility gene in both experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO), 2 classical T cell-mediated models of organ-specific autoimmune disease. Here we showed that expression of H1R in naive CD4+ T cells was required for maximal IFN-gamma production but was dispensable ...

Hepatic cellular immune responses in mice with âcureâ and ânon-cureâ phenotype toLeishmania infantuminfection: importance of CD8+T cells and TGF-β production [PDF]
The objective of this study was to analyse hepatic cellular immune response of mice with "cure" and "non-cure" phenotypes to Leishmania infantum infection. During infection establishment, elevated TGF-beta levels and absence of a Th1 response may have contributed to parasite multiplication and to similar hepatic parasitic loads.

Infection of epithelial and dendritic cells byChlamydia trachomatisresults in IL-18 and IL-12 production, leading to interferon-γ production by human natural killer cells [PDF]
Control of infection by Chlamydia trachomatis usually requires the production of interferon-gamma. Whilst this can be produced by CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells are another important source of this cytokine, and are known to be recruited early to the infected genital tract.

Curcuminoids and ω-3 fatty acids with anti-oxidants potentiate cytotoxicity of natural killer cells against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells and inhibit interferon γ production [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis attributed in part to immune suppression and deactivation of natural killer (NK) cells. Curcuminoids have a potential for improving the therapy of pancreatic cancer given promising results in cancer models and a clinical trial, but their oral absorption is limited.

Seeding technique for lowering temperature during synthesis of α-alumina
This paper reports a method for producing α-Al2O3 at low temperature using a seeding technique. A white product obtained by hydrolyzing aluminum isopropoxide in water at 80 °C was peptized using acetic acid at 80 °C, which transformed the white product ...

Fuzzy Perfect Mappings and Q-Compactness in Smooth Fuzzy Topological Spaces
We point out that the product of two fuzzy closed sets of smooth fuzzy topological spaces need not be fuzzy closed with respect to the the existing notion of product smooth fuzzy topology.
