Expression analysis of HLA-E and NKG2A and NKG2C receptors points at a role for natural killer function in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]

, 2018
Background. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with the majority of HLA-B27 alleles. HLA-E are non-classical MHC class I molecules that specifically interact with the natural killer receptors NKG2A ...

Chronic Liver Disease: Assessing Inflammation and Fibrosis Using Three‐Dimensional MR Elastography With Same‐Day Biopsy in a Prospective Cohort

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Three‐dimensional (3D) MR elastography (MRE) derives viscoelastic parameters that may reflect inflammation, but their frequency dependence and the influence of steatosis on inflammation grading and fibrosis staging remain unclear. Purpose To investigate 3D multifrequency MRE for assessing hepatic inflammation, fibrosis stage across ...

The impact of KIR/HLA genes on the risk of developing multibacillary leprosy. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are a group of regulatory molecules able to activate or inhibit natural killer cells upon interaction with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Natural killer cell immunity after transplantation

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Transplantation immunology has traditionally focused on adaptive, i.e., T- and B-cell reactions. More recently, natural killer (NK) cells were also recognised as playing an important role after transplantation of solid organs and haematopoietic ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

SUR1 Receptor Interaction with Hesperidin and Linarin Predicts Possible Mechanisms of Action of Valeriana officinalis in Parkinson. [PDF]

, 2016
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. A theoretical approach of our previous experiments reporting the cytoprotective effects of the Valeriana officinalis compounds extract for PD is suggested.

Large-Scale Imputation of KIR Copy Number and HLA Alleles in North American and European Psoriasis Case-Control Cohorts Reveals Association of Inhibitory KIR2DL2 With Psoriasis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) regulate immune responses in NK and CD8+ T cells via interaction with HLA ligands. KIR genes, including KIR2DS1, KIR3DL1, and KIR3DS1 have previously been implicated in psoriasis susceptibility.

Memory NK cell features exploitable in anticancer immunotherapy [PDF]

, 2019
Besides their innate ability to rapidly produce effector cytokines and kill virus-infected or transformed cells, natural killer (NK) cells display a strong capability to adapt to environmental modifications and to differentiate into long-lived ...
