Primary hepatocytes as targets for hepatitis C virus replication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Much of our current understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication has hailed from the use of a small number of cloned viral genomes and transformed hepatoma cell lines.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with ...

Deletion of the murine scavenger receptor CD68 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2011
Scavenger receptors (ScRs) are a structurally unrelated family of receptors with the ability to bind modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) as well as a broad range of polyanionic ligands. CD68, whose expression is restricted to mononuclear phagocytes, is a unique ScR family member, owing to its lysosome associated membrane protein (LAMP)-like domain ...

Menopause leads to elevated expression of macrophage-associated genes in the aging frontal cortex: rat and human studies identify strikingly similar changes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND The intricate interactions between the immune, endocrine and central nervous systems shape the innate immune response of the brain. We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses expression of immune genes in the frontal cortex of ...

Apoptotic cell recognition receptors and scavenger receptors [PDF]

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, 2015
SummaryPhosphatidylserine recognition receptors are a highly diverse set of receptors grouped by their ability to recognize the ‘eat‐me’ signal phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells. Most of the phosphatidylserine recognition receptors dampen inflammation by inducing the production of anti‐inflammatory mediators during the phagocytosis of apoptotic ...

Protective Effects of Human and Mouse Soluble Scavenger-Like CD6 Lymphocyte Receptor in a Lethal Model of Polymicrobial Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sepsis still constitutes an unmet clinical need, which could benefit from novel adjunctive strategies to conventional antibiotic therapy. The soluble form of the scavenger-like human CD6 lymphocyte receptor (shCD6) binds to key pathogenic components from

Homeostasis: A scavenger receptor for haemoglobin [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2001
Recent studies have identified a macrophage-specific receptor for the clearance of haemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes, which protects the host against the toxicity of free haemoglobin.

Neutralizing Antibody-Resistant Hepatitis C Virus Cell-to-Cell Transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can initiate infection by cell-free particle and cell-cell contact-dependent transmission. In this study we use a novel infectious coculture system to examine these alternative modes of infection.

Macrophage Scavenger Receptor Class A [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2000
Abstract—In atherogenesis, elevated plasma levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) lead to the chronic presence of LDL in the arterial wall. There, LDL is modified (eg, oxidized), and these modified lipoproteins activate endothelial cells, which attract circulating monocytes.
