Comparison of Several Maturation Inducing Factors in Dendritic Cell Differentiation
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that have an important role in the initiation of immune response. The use of maturation factors in dendritic cell differentiation provides a promising approach in immunotherapy. Objective: In this study, we compared tumor necrosis factor-α, polyribocytidylic acid, lipopolysacharide and CpG oligonucleotides in inducing d...
متن کاملGenome-wide differential gene expression in children exposed to air pollution in the Czech Republic.
The Teplice area in the Czech Republic is a mining district where elevated levels of air pollution including airborne carcinogens, have been demonstrated, especially during winter time. This environmental exposure can impact human health; in particular children may be more vulnerable. To study the impact of air pollution in children at the transcriptional level, peripheral blood cells were subj...
متن کاملDendritic Cell Maturation with CpG for Tumor Immunotherapy
Background: Bacterial DNA has immunostimulatory effects on different types of immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs). Application of DCs as a cellular adjuvant represents a promising approach in the immunotherapy of infectious disease and cancers. Objectives: To investigate the effect of tumor antigen pulsed DCs in the presence of CpG-1826 in treatment of a murine model of cancer. Methods: ...
متن کاملEnhanced Allergic Sensitization in Animals Exposed to Particulate Air Pollution.
Epidemiological studies have found an association between elevated levels of particulate matter (PM) air pollution and increased medication use and hospital visits by asthmatics. While it is known that asthmatics are generally more sensitive to airborne contaminants such as sulfur dioxide and tobacco smoke, it is difficult to test which components of air pollution may also contribute to the ind...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities, systemic inflammation, brain growth, and cognitive functions in children exposed to air pollution.
Air pollution exposures are linked to neuroinflammation and neuropathology in young urbanites. Forty percent of exposed children and young adults exhibit frontal tau hyperphosphorylation and 51% have amyloid-β diffuse plaques compared to 0% in low pollution controls. In older adults, white matter hyperintensities (WMH) are associated with cognitive deficits while inflammatory markers correlate ...
