Is there a Role of Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Immunologic Recurrent Pregnancy Loss? [PDF]
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) commonly refers to three or more miscarriages that occur before 20 weeks of pregnancy. The immunological cause of RPL could be either an auto- or alloimmune-related event or both.

Tim-3 Is Upregulated in NK Cells during Early Pregnancy and Inhibits NK Cytotoxicity toward Trophoblast in Galectin-9 Dependent Pathway. [PDF]
NK cells accumulate at the maternal-fetal interface (MFI) and play essential roles in maintaining immune tolerance during pregnancy. The mechanisms that facilitate NK cells tolerance to fetal tissue are largely unknown.

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 ...

Cell-Mediated cytotoxicity to muscle in polymyositis [PDF]
Immunologic injury to cultures of skeletal muscle was studied in patients with polymyositis by means of a 51Cr release method that allows quantitation of myocyte injury. Lymphocyte-mediated myotoxicity was elevated in a group of nine patients with active

Lung tumor microenvironment induces specific gene expression signature in intratumoral NK cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are able to recognize and kill tumor cells, however whether they contribute to tumor immunosurveillance is still debated. Our previous studies demonstrated the presence of NK cells in human lung tumors.

UV Photoprotection, Cytotoxicity and Immunology Capacity of Red Algae Extracts [PDF]
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 ...
