A PD1-CD137L Fusion Protein More Potently Enhances Anti-Tumour Immune Responses Than Targeting PD-L1 and CD137 Separately. [PDF]

open access: yesImmunology
A PD1‐CD137L fusion protein converts the immunoinhibitory PD‐L1 to an immunostimulatory signal and is more effective than targeting PD‐L1 and CD137 separately. ABSTRACT Tumour immune evasion frequently involves PD‐L1‐mediated inhibition of T cell activity, limiting the efficacy of PD1/PD‐L1 blockade, particularly in PD‐L1‐low or immunologically ‘cold ...

Modulation of NK cell function by genetically coupled C-type lectin-like receptor/ligand pairs encoded in the human Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
Functional responses of Natural Killer (NK) cells including eradication of ‘harmful’ cells and modulation of immune responses are regulated by a broad variety of activating and inhibitory NK receptors. Whereas the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) encodes

STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF CRYOPRESERVED PLACENTA EXTRACT ON THE PROCESSES OF CYTOLYSIS AND LIPID PEROXIDATION IN CCL4-INDUCED LIVER DAMAGE

open access: yesСучасні медичні технології, 2022
. The search for new strategies for the correction of exogenous toxic liver lesions is due to the steady increase in the incidence of hepatitis and cirrhosis among the working population, which is an important medical and social problem. The aim is to

Interferon as a macrophage activating factor. I. Enhancement of cytotoxicity by fresh and matured human monocytes in the absence of other soluble signals [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
The cytolytic activity ofhuman peripheral blood monocytes in vitro against K-562 human leukaemic target cells was stimulated by human fibroblast (fi-) and leucocyte (a-) interferon (IFN). Stimulation was by up to several times the corresponding control

Eosinophil secretion of granule-derived cytokines

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Eosinophils are tissue-dwelling leukocytes, present in the thymus, and gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts of healthy individuals at baseline, and recruited, often in large numbers, to allergic inflammatory foci and sites of active tissue repair ...

Direct entry of cell-penetrating peptide can be controlled by maneuvering the membrane curvature

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A biomembrane's role is to be a barrier for interior cytosol from an exterior environment to execute the cell's normal biological functions. However, a water-soluble peptide called cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) has been known for its ability to directly

Mechanism of Cytolysis by Complement [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1972
The attack of complement is directed against the lipid moiety of the cell membrane; a single lesion at the site of fixation of complement proteins C5-C9 is responsible for lysis of a cell. There are two hypothetical models for the generation of this membrane lesion. The first of these, designated the leaky-patch
