Host transcriptional responses following ex vivo re-challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis vary with disease status. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The identification of immune correlates that are predictive of disease outcome for tuberculosis remains an ongoing challenge. To address this issue, we evaluated gene expression profiles from peripheral blood mononuclear cells following ex vivo challenge

Endothelin-1 Stimulates Monocytes in vitro to Release Chemotactic Activity Identified as Interleukin-8 and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
In the present study we examined whether endothelin-1 stimulation of human monocytes causes release of chemotactic factors. It was found that monocytes released neutrophil- and monocyte-chemotactic activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner in ...

A Chemotactic Factor for Mononuclear Leukocytes

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1971
SummaryChemotactic activity for mononuclear leukocytes was produced when highly purified guinea pig C5 was cleaved by trypsin or by the earlier acting complement components. This chemotactic activity was mediated by C5a, a fragmentation product of the fifth component of complement.

AN EOSINOPHIL LEUKOCYTE CHEMOTACTIC FACTOR OF ANAPHYLAXIS [PDF]

The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1971
The capacity of actively or passively sensitized guinea pig lung to react with antigen to release a factor specifically chemotactic for eosinophil leukocytes (ECF-A) has been demonstrated. The release of ECF-A was also accompanied by the elaboration of both histamine and SRS-A and the appearance of all these mediators exhibited a similar response in ...

Damaged male germ cells induce epididymitis in mice

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2020
Epididymitis can be caused by infectious and noninfectious etiological factors. While microbial infections are responsible for infectious epididymitis, the etiological factors contributing to noninfectious epididymitis remain to be defined.

Contribution of corneal neovascularization to dendritic cell migration into the central area during human corneal infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Compared with the peripheral corneal limbus, the human central cornea lacks blood vessels, which is responsible for its immunologically privileged status and high transparency.

Calcium mimics the chemotactic effect of conditioned media and is an effective inducer of bone regeneration.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundAfter bone resorption, ions and degraded organic components are co-released into the extracellular space. Ions and growth factors, although different in their biological nature, induce a common and coordinated chemotactic effect.

Cytokine concentration in peripheral blood of patients with colorectal cancer

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe role of tumour secretory cytokines and peripheral circulatory cytokines in tumour progression has received increasing attention; however, the role of tumour-related inflammatory cytokines in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear.

Associations Between Macrophage Colony‐Stimulating Factor and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1 in Plasma and First‐Time Coronary Events: A Nested Case–Control Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
Background Myeloid cells play a central role in atherosclerosis. We investigated the associations between the plasma levels of growth factors and chemokines that regulate myeloid cell homeostasis and function and the risk of first‐time acute coronary ...

Intranasal administration of human MSC for ischemic brain injury in the mouse: in vitro and in vivo neuroregenerative functions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Intranasal treatment with C57BL/6 MSCs reduces lesion volume and improves motor and cognitive behavior in the neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) mouse model.
