Serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases-2 and-9 and their tissue inhibitors in inflammatory neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

, 2006
We monitored serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) before and during intravenously applied immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in 33 patients with chronic immune-mediated neuropathies and myopathies and 15 ...

Enrichment of Sialylated IgG by Lectin Fractionation Does Not Enhance the Efficacy of Immunoglobulin G in a Murine Model of Immune Thrombocytopenia [PDF]

, 2011
Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIg) is widely used against a range of clinical symptoms. For its use in immune modulating therapies such as treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura high doses of IVIg are required.

Regulation of the immune response: III. The role of macrophages in the potentiation of the immune response by Fc fragments.

Journal of Immunology, 1981
The Fc fragment-induced enhancement of the anti-SRBC response was found to be dependent upon the presence of functional macrophages. Fc fragments derived from human immunoglobulin were unable to enhance either the in vivo or in vitro anti-SRBC response ...

Functional Polarization of Liver Macrophages by Glyco Gold Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophages play a critical role in several pathophysiological diseases by being involved in the activation of adaptive and innate immune responses. The repolarization of macrophages using gold nanoparticles functionalized with glycans for a more selective targeting toward a restorative phenotype leads to an amelioration of the events.

TFPI-2 Protects Against Gram-Negative Bacterial Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) has previously been characterized as an endogenous anticoagulant. TFPI-2 is expressed in the vast majority of cells, mainly secreted into the extracellular matrix.

The differential ability of human IgG1 and IgG4 to activate complement is determined by the COOH-terminal sequence of the CH2 domain. [PDF]

, 1991
Using domain switch chimeric antibodies, we confirm the important role of CH2 in complement activation. In addition, we demonstrate that the structures responsible for the differential ability of human IgG1 and IgG4 to activate complement are located at ...

GRP78 Nanobody‐Directed Immunotoxin Activates Innate Immunity Through STING Pathway to Synergize Tumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A GRP78 nanobody‐directed immunotoxin suppresses cancer progression and metastasis by enhancing antitumor immunity via STING pathway activation, offering a pan‐cancer‐targeted approach and immunotherapy combination strategy. Abstract The lack of targetable antigens poses a significant challenge in developing effective cancer‐targeted therapies.

Compatibility of convergence algorithms for autonomous mobile robots [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We investigate autonomous mobile robots in the Euclidean plane. A robot has a function called target function to decide the destination from the robots' positions. Robots may have different target functions. If the robots whose target functions are chosen from a set $\Phi$ of target functions always solve a problem $\Pi$, we say that $\Phi$ is ...

Deletion of Pyruvate Carboxylase in Tubular Epithelial Cell Promotes Renal Fibrosis by Regulating SQOR/cGAS/STING‐Mediated Glycolysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), as a catalytic enzyme located within the mitochondria, plays an important role in kidney fibrosis. PC deficiency reduces its interaction with sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR), increasing the ubiquitination and degradation of SQOR.

Mechanisms of Intravenous Immunoglobulin in the Treatment of Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis [PDF]

, 2007
The aims of this study were to test the efficacy of immunoglobulin and its Fab and Fc fragment in the treatment of experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) in Lewis rats, to investigate which portion of immunoglobulin is operative in the effect of IVIg ...
