The role of Microenvironment in tumorigenesis. Focus on dendritic cells in human papillomavirus E6, E7-transformed keratinocytes [PDF]
, 2015 The inception of tumor microenvironment (TME), a complex and dynamic system constituted by different types of cells engaged by tumor and extracellular matrix surrounding cancer cells, is a way for them to elude the immune surveillance.

Predominant variable region gene usage by gamma/delta T cell receptor-bearing cells in the adult thymus. [PDF]
, 1988 Previous studies have indicated that the diversity of gamma genes expressed by gamma/delta-bearing murine T cells is limited, but comparable information concerning the expressed diversity of delta genes is lacking. In this study, we have investigated the

Engaging the Immune Response to Normalize the Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
, 2013 Solid tumors exist as heterogeneous populations comprised not only of malignant cells, but various other cell types, including cells that make up the vasculature, that can strongly influence tumorgenicity.

Structure and specificity of T cell receptor gamma/delta on major histocompatibility complex antigen-specific CD3+, CD4-, CD8- T lymphocytes. [PDF]
, 1988 Analyses of TCR-bearing murine and human T cells have defined a unique subpopulation of T cells that express the TCR-gamma/delta proteins. The specificity of TCR-gamma/delta T cells and their role in the immune response have not yet been elucidated. Here

Training the Fetal Immune System Through Maternal Inflammation-A Layered Hygiene Hypothesis. [PDF]
, 2020 Over the last century, the alarming surge in allergy and autoimmune disease has led to the hypothesis that decreasing exposure to microbes, which has accompanied industrialization and modern life in the Western world, has fundamentally altered the immune

Testosterone Influence on Gene Expression in Lacrimal Glands of Mouse Models of Sjögren Syndrome [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose: Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that occurs almost exclusively in women and is associated with extensive inflammation in lacrimal tissue, an immune-mediated destruction and/or dysfunction of glandular epithelial cells, and a ...

Mouse T lymphocytes that express a gamma delta T-cell antigen receptor contribute to resistance to Salmonella infection in vivo [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1994 Mice depleted of lymphocytes expressing the alpha beta or the gamma delta T-cell receptor for antigen (TCR) by antibody treatment were infected orally with Salmonella enteritidis. In both groups of treated mice, the 50% lethal dose decreased, suggesting that both the alpha beta TCR+ and the gamma delta TCR+ subsets contribute to resistance to oral ...

Lymphocytes infiltrating normal human lung and lung carcinomas rarely express γδ T cell antigen receptors [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1992 SUMMARYIt has been suggested that T lymphocytes expressing γδ T cell receptors (TCR) could play an important role in the defence of epithelia against infection and neoplastic transformation, but the potential for γδ T lymphocytes to serve these functions in human respiratory epithelium has received little attention.

Heat shock proteins in health and disease: therapeutic targets or therapeutic agents? [PDF]
, 2001 For many years, heat shock or stress proteins have been regarded as intracellular molecules that have a range of housekeeping and cytoprotective functions, only being released into the extracellular environment in pathological situations such as necrotic
