T lymphocytes from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis produce reduced amounts of lymphotoxin, tumor necrosis factor and interferon-gamma upon mitogen stimulation [PDF]
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is considered an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of small intrahepatic bile ducts by lymphocytes. Altered functions of these lymphocytes might reflect an abnormal immune response leading to tissue damage ...

Adoptive Immunotherapy in Chimeras with Donor Lymphocytes [PDF]
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has a well-defined indication in the treatment of hematological malignancies. The beneficial immune effect of allogeneic marrow transplantation has long been known, but only recently have methods been developed to ...

CD8-positive T lymphocytes specific for murine cytomegalovirus immediate-early antigens mediate protective immunity [PDF]
We have shown in a murine model system for acute, lethal cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in the immunocompromised natural host that control of virus multiplication in tissues, protection from virus-caused tissue destruction, and survival are mediated by ...

Ca2+ Microdomains in T-Lymphocytes
Early Ca2+ signaling is characterized by occurrence of Ca2+ microdomains formed by opening of single or clusters of Ca2+ channels, thereby initiating first signaling and subsequently activating global Ca2+ signaling mechanisms. However, only few data are

Role of CTLA4 immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of colon cancers
Background: There are a wide range of diagnostic markers for colorectal cancers like detection of mutated KRAS, TP53, and APC genes. However, genetic and immunological factors have also been attributed to the cancer prognosis.
