CD36 Is Differentially Expressed on B Cell Subsets during Development and in Responses to Antigen [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2008 Abstract Of a number of mAbs made by immunization with sort-purified marginal zone (MZ) B cells, one was shown to recognize the mouse scavenger receptor CD36. Although CD36 is expressed by most resting MZ B cells and not by follicular and B1 B cells, it is rapidly induced on follicular B cells in vitro following TLR and CD40 stimulation.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 We previously demonstrated that brain-resident cells produce IFN-γ in response to reactivation of cerebral infection with Toxoplasma gondii. To obtain an overall landscape view of the effects of IFN-γ from brain-resident cells on the cerebral protective ...

Impact of intermittent preventive anti-malarial treatment on the growth and nutritional status of preschool children in rural Senegal (west Africa). [PDF]
, 2007 Negative consequences of malaria might account for seasonality in nutritional status in children in the Sahel. We report the impact of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of seasonal intermittent preventive anti-malarial treatment on ...

Antigenic and functional differences in adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to human and bovine CD36 [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1993 Cytoadherence by Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (PRBC) to microvascular endothelium is, in part, mediated by the specific interaction between a parasite-derived erythrocyte surface ligand and a specific binding site on human CD36. We describe the selection for increased adhesion of PRBC to bovine CD36 and demonstrate that the molecular ...

Menopause leads to elevated expression of macrophage-associated genes in the aging frontal cortex: rat and human studies identify strikingly similar changes. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND The intricate interactions between the immune, endocrine and central nervous systems shape the innate immune response of the brain. We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses expression of immune genes in the frontal cortex of ...
