Target cell-dependent T cell-mediated lysis of vaccinia virus-infected cells [PDF]
Vaccinia virus specific cytotoxicity against infected target cells was observed in vitro. Spleen lymphocytes from normal and immunized mice of the inbred strains C3H and DBA/2 were incubated with vaccinia virus-infected and non-infected 51Cr-labeled ...

Leukocyte proliferation and immune modulator production in patients with chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: In Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), immune cells are affected by uremic retention toxins. Given this effect, we analyzed lymphocyte proliferative response and immune modulators production following in vitro stimulation.

Effect in supralethally irradiated rats of granulocyte colony- stimulating factor and lisofylline on hematopoietic reconstitution by syngeneic bone marrow or whole organ passenger leukocytes [PDF]
We have previously shown the existence of migratory hematopoietic stem cells in adult solid organs. This study demonstrates that granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF) and lisofylline, a phosphatidic acid inhibitor that suppresses hematopoiesis ...

Pokeweed antiviral protein alters splicing of HIV-1 RNAs, resulting in reduced virus production
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) decreases the production of HIV-1 without being toxic for the host cells. This study suggests that the effect of PAP is related to a specific depurination of rev mRNA, preventing the synthesis of active Rev and ...

Comparative anti-inflammatory activity of eugenol and eugenyl acetate on the murine immune response in vitro [PDF]
The utility of eugenol, a naturally occurring phenolic compound, for various applications is limited due to its unfavorable properties. Thus, eugenyl acetate is under consideration as a substitute.

Homodimerization of pokeweed antiviral protein as a mechanism to limit depurination of pokeweed ribosomes [PDF]
SUMMARY Ribosome inactivating proteins are glycosidases synthesized by many plants and have been hypothesized to serve in defence against pathogens. These enzymes catalytically remove a conserved purine from the sarcin/ricin loop of the large ribosomal RNA, which has been shown in vitro

Enzyme-linked immunospot: an alternative method for the detection of interferon gamma in Johne's disease [PDF]
. To date, the sensitivity of the interferon gamma (IFN-c) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect Johne’s disease (JD) has been poor, especially in the early stages of disease.

Selective inhibition of T suppressor-cell function by a monosaccharide [PDF]
Interactions between regulatory T lymphocytes and other cells are assumed to occur at the level of the cell surface. T cells which suppress the generation of specifically effector cells have been described as having antigenic, idiotypic, allotypic and I ...

Novel Cell Preservation Technique to Extend Bovine In Vitro White Blood Cell Viability.
Although cell-mediated immunity based diagnostics can be integral assays for early detection of various diseases of dairy cows, processing of blood samples for these tests is time-sensitive, often within 24 hours of collection, to maintain white blood ...
