Protocol to quantify glycan-mediated binding between viral particles and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using nanoluciferase [PDF]
Prior to receptor engagement, a specific, non-electrostatic glycan-glycan interaction between viral particles and host cells may lengthen the dwell time of the virus at the cellular surface, thereby facilitating subsequent virus entry. Here, we present a

Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and repair in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells: protective role of hemoglobin. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:DNA repair is a cellular defence mechanism responding to DNA damage caused in large part by oxidative stress. There is a controversy with regard to the effect of red blood cells on DNA damage and cellular response.

Occult Hepatitis C Virus Infection: Is it time to get more attention!? [PDF]
Occult hepatitis C virus infection (OCI) is broadly described as the presence of HCV-RNA in hepatocytes and/or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in individuals who are HCV-RNA negative in serum by traditional diagnostic techniques.

Background Chronic idiopathic neutropenia is characterized by immune-mediated suppression of neutrophil production. Because patients with immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndromes display age-inappropriate telomere shortening in leukocytes, we ...

Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells reveals an individual gene expression profile response [PDF]
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are relatively easily obtainable cells in humans. Gene expression profiles of PBMCs have been shown to reflect the pathological and physiological state of a person.

Improved arteriogenesis with simultaneous skeletal muscle repair in ischemic tissue by SCL plus multipotent adult progenitor cell clones from peripheral blood [PDF]
Background: The CD34- murine stem cell line RM26 cloned from peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been shown to generate hematopoietic progeny in lethally irradiated animals.
