Age‐related differentiations of Th1/Th2 cytokines in newborn infants
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate age‐related differentiation of immune response in newborns by measuring serum concentrations of interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) during the perinatal period. Subjects and methods: Fifty‐seven healthy term neonates, their mothers and 25 healthy adults (controls) age‐matched to the mothers were ...

New approaches for the control and eradication of schistosomiasis in Venezuela
Schistosomiasis in Americawith the exception of Brazil, behaves as a chronic mild disease with few clinical manifestations due to low parasite burden. These features restrict the clinical and parasitological diagnosis.

Antibodies to Human Thymic Epithelium Form Part of the Murine Autoreactive Repertoire
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) MR6 recognises a 200 kDa glycoprotein, gp200‐MR6, which is expressed at high levels on the surface of human thymic cortical epithelium. In order to produce further mAbs against the gp200‐MR6 molecule, mice were immunised with purified human gp200‐MR6, hybridomas produced and supernatants screened for MR6‐like reactivity on ...

The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory process seen in association with a large number of clinical infective and noninfective conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of anti‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin–4 (IL–4), interleukin–10 (IL–10), and transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐beta ...

Isolation and Characterization of a Cellular Protein-Lipid Complex from Ascites Fluid Caused by Various Neoplasms [PDF]
High concentrations of lipids in ascites fluid caused by peritoneal carcinomatosis have been described recently. Since their nature has not yet been clarified, we isolated ascitic lipids from 25 patients with various neoplasms for further ...

Promoter Hypermethylation-Related Reduced Somatostatin Production Promotes Uncontrolled Cell Proliferation in Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Somatostatin (SST) has anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Our aims were to analyze and compare the SST expression during normal aging and colorectal carcinogenesis at mRNA and protein levels.

Analysis of Receptors for Cytokines and Growth Factors in Human Disease
The physiological importance of cytokines and other factors which control cell and tissue growth and differentiation is widely appreciated. While physiological studies have included the cellular receptors for these factors, studies on their role in disease have concentrated on the measurement of cytokines themselves or soluble receptor components. This
