Chemical composition, antioxidant and alpha-Glucosidase-Inhibiting activities of the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Vaccinium myrtillus Leaves [PDF]
Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) leaf is traditionally used in southeastern Europe for the treatment of diabetes. In the present study, the ability of bilberry leaf extracts to inhibit carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and restore glutathione concentration ...

Serotype-related HEp-2 cell interaction of Yersinia enterocolitica [PDF]
The ability of human clinical isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica to interact with HEp-2 cells was found to vary considerably between the serotypes O:3, O:8, and O:9. Although all three serotypes adhered initially to the cell surface, regardless of incubation temperature of the bacterial inoculum or presence of the 40- to 48-megadalton virulence ...

Cellular Responses Modulated by FGF-2 Adsorbed on Albumin/Heparin Layer-by-Layer Assemblies. [PDF]
In a typical cell culture system, growth factors immobilized on the cell culture surfaces can serve as a reservoir of bio-signaling molecules, without the need to supplement them additionally into the culture medium.

Autoantikörpernachweis mittels indirekter Immunfluoreszenz an HEp-2-Zellen [PDF]
Systemic autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of antinuclear autoantibodies (ANAs). Diluted patient sera are typically used to screen for the presence of ANAs by immunofluorescence microscopy with fixed HEp-2 cells.

Cell vacuolation induced by Haemophilus influenzae supernatants in HEp-2 cells [PDF]
Haemophilus influenzae belongs to respiratory tract microbiota. We observed vacuoles formation in previous studies with H. influenzae culture supernatants, so in this work we characterised that cytotoxic effect. We observed an abundant production of acidic cytoplasmic vacuoles due to the presence of a "vacuolating factor" in H.

Pseudolaric acid B promotes apoptosis of human laryngeal carcinoma cell line HEp-2 [PDF]
Objective To investigate the effects of pseudolaric acid B (PAB) on the proliferation and apoptosis of HEp-2 cells. Methods Cell grouping and treatment: cells were treated with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 μmol/L PAB for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively; MTT ...

Automated evaluation of autoantibodies on human epithelial-2 cells as an approach to standardize cell-based immunofluorescence tests [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Analysis of autoantibodies (AAB) by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) is a basic tool for the serological diagnosis of systemic rheumatic disorders. Automation of autoantibody IIF reading including pattern recognition may improve intra- and
