Cytotoxic immunological synapses [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2010 Summary: One of the most fundamental activities of the adaptive immune system is to kill infected cells and tumor cells. Two distinct pathways mediate this process, both of which are facilitated by a cytotoxic immunological synapse. While traditionally thought of as innate immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells are now appreciated to have the ...

Phasing out the pre-transplant cytotoxicity crossmatch: Are we missing something?
Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2021 Introduction: The anti-human globulin-enhanced complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch (AHG-CDCXM) assay has been used to assess the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in recipient’s serum before kidney transplantation. The flow cytometric

Genetic, immunological, and cytotoxic comparisons of Legionella proteolytic activities [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1989 Several strains of Legionella pneumophila and other species of Legionella with proteolytic activities were compared by assays, including Southern hybridizations and Western immunoblots, to determine their proteolytic, hemolytic, and cytotoxic activities. Only proteases from strains of L.

UV Photoprotection, Cytotoxicity and Immunology Capacity of Red Algae Extracts [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 This study was designed to evaluate the potential use of algal extracts in cosmeceuticals, including factors related to biosecurity. The aqueous crude extracts of Hydropuntia cornea and Gracilariopsis longissima showed a good photoprotective capacity (Sun Protection Factor, SPF) due to, among other reasons, the presence of five types of mycosporine ...

Immunologic difference between hypersensitivity to mosquito bite and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening, virus-triggered immune disease. Hypersensitivity to mosquito bite (HMB), a presentation of Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus infection (CAEBV), may progress to HLH.
