Enzymatic Reactions and Detection of C3 Cleavage Fragments

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2014
The complement component C3 is the major effector molecule of the complement system. C3 circulates in the blood and interstitial fluids as pro-enzyme and is activated by enzymatic cleavage into a C3a portion, a classic anaphylatoxin that functions as ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

The biological role of hemolymph lectins in Episesarma tetragonum

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2013
The hemolymph of the mangrove crab, E. tetragonum contains lectins specific for NeuGcα 2, 3 Gal β1-4 GluNAc β1 linkage and O-acetyl sialic acids. The role of sialic acid specific lectins on natural immunity of the crab is studied by using several kinds ...

Macrophage Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 Dampens Inflammation and Neutrophil Influx in Arthritis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Resolution of inflammation reduces pathological tissue destruction and restores tissue homeostasis. Here, we used a proteomic protease substrate discovery approach, terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS), to analyze the role of the ...

Next Generation Smart Implant Surfaces: Engineering Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Interfaces

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...

The Role of Sialic Acid in Opsonin-Dependent and Opsonin-Independent Adhesion of Listeria monocytogenesto Murine Peritoneal Macrophages

open access: yes, 1998
The adhesion of listeriae to host cells employs mechanisms which are complex and not well understood. Listeria monocytogenesis a facultative intracellular pathogen responsible for meningoencephalitis, septicemia, and abortion in susceptible and ...

Plasmatic Fibronectin in Malignancies

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biological Markers, 1992
Plasmatic fibronectin has been studied in tumor patients on the basis of the role that unspecific opsonin may play in tumor growth and spreading. Alterations in fibronectin levels might be used as a biological marker and our purpose has been to evaluate ...

CRP/anti-CRP antibodies assembly on the surfaces of cell remnants switches their phagocytic clearance towards inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2011
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease characteris¬ed by the production of autoantibodies, formation of immune complexes (IC), and activation of complement that ultimately fuel acute and/or chronic inflammation ...

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.
