Humoral mediated macrophage response during tumour growth

Macrophage-mediated response to hypoxia in disease

Hypoxia plays a critical role in the pathobiology of various inflamed, diseased tissues, including malignant tumors, atherosclerotic plaques, myocardial infarcts, the synovia of rheumatoid arthritic joints, healing wounds, and sites of bacterial infection. These areas of hypoxia form when the blood supply is occluded and/or the oxygen supply is unable to keep pace with cell growth and/or infilt...

The Role of Humoral and Cell-Mediated Adaptive Immune Response

Glomerulonephritis is a major cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide and presents with various histological and clinical manifestations in terms of severity and duration, resulting in diverse clinical outcomes. Immune-mediated injury of the resident glomerular cells plays a critical role in many forms of glomerular injury and mounting evidence indicates that both humoral and cell-mediated me...

Humoral effects of metastasizing carcinoid tumour.

Humoral immune response in chromoblastomycosis during and after therapy.

A longitudinal study was carried out in Madagascar, the most important focus of chromoblastomycosis (P. Esterre, A. Andriantsimahavandy, E. Ramarcel, and J. L. Pecarrere, Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 55:45-47, 1996), to investigate natural immunity to this disease. Sequential blood samples were obtained before, during, and at the end of a successful therapeutic trial with terbinafine, a new antifunga...

Neural and humoral factors affecting ventilatory response during exercise.

The principle of feedback control is thought to be fundamental for maintaining homeostasis in biological systems. In the respiratory system, constancy of arterial Pcoz, Poz, and pH is also maintained essentially by means of a feedback control system. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume that the respiratory system is regulated by only one controlled variable, Pa~oz. According to control the...
