Immunomodulatory Activity of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2011
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were discovered as a rare population of non-hematopoietic stem cells that reside in the bone marrow and interact closely with hematopoietic stem cells to support their growth and differentiation. MSCs are multipotent cells that have the ability to differentiate into cells of the mesenchymal lineage including adipocytes ...

Characterization of immunomodulatory activity of retinoids

1990
Publisher Summary Optimal characterization of the immunomodulatory activity of retinoids requires in vivo assays. However, the bioavailability and absorption characteristics of individual retinoids can differ considerably. In addition, the route of administration can also influence the effects seen.

Immunomodulatory Activity in Regional Lymph Nodes

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1983
This study is, to our knowledge, the first attempt to evaluate cellular immune mechanisms in regional lymph nodes of patients with head and neck cancer. Twenty lymph nodes from eight patients with stage III-IV squamous cell carcinoma were evaluated using an in vitro culture system.

Antitumor activity of the immunomodulatory lead Cumaside

International Immunopharmacology, 2010
A new immunomodulatory lead Cumaside that is a complex of monosulfated triterpene glycosides from the sea cucumber Cucumaria japonica and cholesterol possesses significantly less cytotoxic activity against sea urchin embryos and Ehrlich carcinoma cells than the corresponding glycosides.

Immunomodulatory and antiviral activity of almond skins

Immunology Letters, 2010
The elimination of a viral infection requires a proinflammatory host response (type 1 immunity), characterized by activation of mononuclear cells and production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interferons (IFNs), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-12. On the other hand, IL-4 and IL-10 play a role in decreasing the inflammatory

In vitro immunomodulatory activity of Filipendula ulmaria

Phytotherapy Research, 1997
Extracts of the roots, herb and flowers of Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim. were investigated for in vitro immunomodulatory properties. Strong inhibitory activity was found towards the classical pathway of complement in the ethyl acetate extracts of roots and flowers, in all methanol extracts and in the aqueous root extract.

Molecular mechanisms of immunomodulatory activity of glucocorticoids

Pharmacological Research, 2002
The development and function of cells in the immune system are regulated by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors. One class of molecule that affects immune cells belongs to the neuroendocrine system and the best-studied mediators in this category are glucocorticoids.

Investigations into the immunomodulatory activity of Argyreia speciosa

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2003
The objective of the present study was to investigate the immunomodulatory activity of Argyreia speciosa on cellular and humoral immunity. Oral administration of the ethanolic extract of A. speciosa root (ASEE), at the doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg in mice, dose-dependently potentiated the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction induced both by sheep ...

Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Activities of Ascorbic Acid

1996
It has been known since the early days of ascorbic acid research that the appearance of scurvy, which is caused by deficiency of this vitamin, is associated with decreased resistance to infection (Reid and Briggs, 1953). Over the years, it has become well recognized that ascorbate can bolster the natural defense mechanisms of the host and provide ...

Ergot alkaloid glycosides with immunomodulatory activities

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 1996
New glycosides derived from ergot alkaloids elymoclavine and DH-lysergol were synthesized by chemoenzymatic methods. beta-Glucosides were obtained either by chemical method or by transglycosylation (glycosidase from Aspergillus oryzae), lactosides were prepared by further extension of carbohydrate chain using beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase (bovine milk)
