Periocular authentication in smartphones applying uLBP descriptor on CNN Feature Maps
Anais do XVII Workshop de Visão Computacional (WVC 2021), 2021 The outputs of CNN layers, called Activations, are composed of Feature Maps, which show textural information that can be extracted by a texture descriptor. Standard CNN feature extraction use Activations as feature vectors for object recognition. The goal of this work is to evaluate a new methodology of CNN feature extraction. In this paper, instead of

RAET1/ULBP alleles and haplotypes among Kolla South American Indians [PDF]
Human Immunology, 2013 NK cell cytolysis of infected or transformed cells can be mediated by engagement of the activating immunoreceptor NKG2D with one of eight known ligands (MICA, MICB and RAET1E-N) and is essential for innate immunity. As well as diversity of NKG2D ligands having the same function, allelic polymorphism and ethnic diversity has been reported. We previously

PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Natural killer (NK) cells are stimulated by ligands on virus-infected cells. We have recently demonstrated that NK cells respond to human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1)-infected autologous T-cells, in part, through the recognition of ligands for ...

In vitro Natural Killer cell immunotherapy for medulloblastoma
Frontiers in Oncology, 2013 How the immune system attacks medulloblastoma (MB) tumours effectively is unclear, although natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in immune defence against tumour cells.

Viruses, 2017 Natural Killer (NK) cell responses to HIV-infected CD4 T cells (iCD4) depend on the integration of signals received through inhibitory (iNKR) and activating NK receptors (aNKR). iCD4 activate NK cells to inhibit HIV replication.

CMV-independent lysis of glioblastoma by ex vivo expanded/activated Vδ1+ γδ T cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Vδ2(neg) γδ T cells, of which Vδ1+ γδ T cells are by far the largest subset, are important effectors against CMV infection. Malignant gliomas often contain CMV genetic material and proteins, and evidence exists that CMV infection may be associated with ...

Expression of the NKG2D ligand UL16 binding protein‐1 (ULBP‐1) on dendritic cells [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, 2005 AbstractInnate and adaptive immunity have not evolved separately. In this regard, the NKG2D molecule first identified on NK cells and classified as an activating NK cell receptor is also an important receptor for CD8+ T cells. Functional analyses of human NKG2D and its ligands, i.e. UL16 binding proteins (ULBP) and MHC class I chain‐related (MIC), have

Cutting an NKG2D Ligand Short: Cellular Processing of the Peculiar Human NKG2D Ligand ULBP4
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Stress-induced cell surface expression of MHC class I-related glycoproteins of the MIC and ULBP families allows for immune recognition of dangerous “self cells” by human cytotoxic lymphocytes via the NKG2D receptor. With two MIC molecules (MICA and MICB)

The Role and Regulation of the NKG2D/NKG2D Ligand System in Cancer
Biology, 2023 The family of human NKG2D ligands (NKG2DL) consists of eight stress-induced molecules. Over 80% of human cancers express these ligands on the surface of tumour cells and/or associated stromal elements.
