متن کاملTranscytosis: crossing cellular barriers.
Transcytosis, the vesicular transport of macromolecules from one side of a cell to the other, is a strategy used by multicellular organisms to selectively move material between two environments without altering the unique compositions of those environments. In this review, we summarize our knowledge of the different cell types using transcytosis in vivo, the variety of cargo moved, and the dive...

In 1978, Jonathan Sprent and Robert Korngold proved that graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is caused by donor T cells that attack the host's non-MHC antigens.

Brucellosis in domestic animals has not been recorded in Sweden since the 1950s, and human brucellosis acquired in this country has not been reported since then. The possibility of coital transmission of bmcella has long been suggested, but only recently has brucellosis been isolated from huma...
