FcεRI cross-linking reduces cord blood dendritic cell responsiveness to LPS

Immediate Exposure to TNF-α Activates Dendritic Cells Derived from Non-Purified Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells

Background: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a primary mediator of immune regulation and might be required in the early stages of DC development from CD34+ cells. However, details of optimal timing of exposure to TNF-α in DC development process in monocytes or non-purified hematopoitic cells are still lacking and clear benefits of this approach to the development of DCs remain to be valid...

Dendritic Cell Maturation Cross-Linking of Membrane CD43 Mediates Girolomoni

Cross-linking of membrane CD43 mediates dendritic cell maturation.

CD43/leukosialin is a major sialoglycoprotein of the dendritic cell (DC) surface, which can regulate cell adhesion and has the potential to mediate cell activation signals. Monocyte-derived DC transiently incubated with the anti-CD43 mAb, MEM-59, or with F(ab')2 fragments, but not with monovalent Fab fragments or control IgG, 24 h later showed increased levels of membrane HLA-DR, CD54, CD40, CD...

Does Nitric Oxide Generated by Dendritic Cells Contribute to the Low Incidence of GVHD after Cord Blood Transplantation?

Chemical cross linking versus high energy electron beam cross linking of HDPE: electrical properties study

Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...
