Endotoxin requirement for macrophage activation by lymphokines in a rapid microcytotoxicity assay [PDF]
A short term microcytotoxicity assay is described for studying the activation of M0 by lymphokines. Proteose-peptone-induced macrophages were purified by adherence in flat-bottomed microtiter plates and then activated by MAF-containing supernatants for ...

Immunotherapy of COVID-19: Inside and Beyond IL-6 Signalling
Acting on the cytokine cascade is key to preventing disease progression and death in hospitalised patients with COVID-19. Among anti-cytokine therapies, interleukin (IL)-6 inhibitors have been the most used and studied since the beginning of the pandemic.

Reconceptualizing Aplastic Anemia—Seed, Worm, Soil
Aplastic anemia (AA) encompasses a group of hematological syndromes often misdiagnosed, resulting in a decrease in the overall blood cell count and representing a form of bone marrow failure. We reinterpret AA based on the “seed, worm, and soil” doctrine.

Priming of peripheral lymph node B cells with TNP-Ficoll: Role of lymphokines in B cell differentiation [PDF]
We have previously shown that peripheral lymph node (PLN) B lymphocytes of adult DBA/ 25 mice failed to make an antibody responseto type 2 antigen TNP-Ficoll, but exhibited a good antibody response to type 1 antigen TNP-BruceNa abortus.

Monoclonal Antibodies as Immune Modulators for Cancer Therapy
Monoclonal antibodies may modulate immune and/or biological responses alone, or as carriers of specific agents. Monoclonal antibodies directed against tumours may be indirectly cytotoxic by modulation of antibody-dependent, cell-mediated cytotoxicity or ...

Evidence for PDZ‐Binding Kinase in Lung Disease With an Emphasis on PAH
ABSTRACT Originally named T‐cell‐originated Lymphokine‐activated killer protein kinase (TOPK), PDZ‐Binding Kinase (PBK) is a serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the family of mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKKs), which is overexpressed in lung cancer and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Along these lines, recent work also shows that

UM4D4+ (CDw60) T Cells Are Compartmentalized into Psoriatic Skin and Release Lymphokines That Induce a Keratinocyte Phenotype Expressed in Psoriatic Lesions [PDF]
UM4D4 (CDw60), the surface molecule of a novel antigen- independent T-cell activation pathway, was found to be highly expressed on lesional psoriatic T cells. To examine whether UM4D4 represents a T-cell activation pathway for psoriatic T cells, a T-cell

The Transcription Factor NFATc1 Supports the Rejection of Heterotopic Heart Allografts
The immune suppressants cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) are used worldwide in transplantation medicine to suppress graft rejection. Both CsA and FK506 inhibit the phosphatase calcineurin (CN) whose activity controls the immune receptor ...
