Eosinophil Extracellular Traps and Inflammatory Pathologies—Untangling the Web!
Eosinophils are an enigmatic white blood cell, whose immune functions are still under intense investigation. Classically, the eosinophil was considered to fulfill a protective role against parasitic infections, primarily large multicellular helminths ...

Recognition of viral glycoproteins by influenza A-specific cross- reactive cytolytic T lymphocytes [PDF]
Two populations of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated after influenza A virus infection can be distinguished into one with specificity for the sensitizing hemagglutinin type and a second with cross-reactivity for antigens induced by other type-A ...

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

Point mutations of the P53 gene, human hepatocellular carcinoma and aflatoxins [PDF]
The tumor suppressor p53 exerts important protective functions towards DNA-damaging agents. Its inactivation by allelic deletions or point mutations within the P53 gene as well as complex formation of wildtype p53 with cellular or viral proteins is a ...

Mechanism of Cytolysis by Complement [PDF]
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 model

Natural killer cell-mediated shedding of ULBP2. [PDF]
UL16 binding proteins (ULBPs) are a family of cell surface proteins that are present in transformed and stressed cells and ligands for NKG2D. Soluble NKG2D ligands have been found in sera from cancer patients with their protein concentrations correlated ...
