Mast cells as regulators of skin inflammation and immunity.
Mast cells are known to be the effector cells of immediate-type allergy, but experimental evidence obtained during the last decade has revealed their role in innate and acquired immunity. Upon activation mast cells can undergo an anaphylactic or piecemeal degranulation or degranulation-independent mediator secretion, resulting in rapid or slow release of soluble mediators, such as serine protei...
متن کاملSiglecs as positive and negative regulators of the immune system.
Siglecs (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins) are mainly expressed in the immune system. Sn (sialoadhesin) (siglec-1), CD22 (siglec-2) and siglec-15 are well conserved, whereas the CD33-related siglecs are undergoing rapid evolution, as reflected in large differences in repertoires among the different mammals studied so far. In the present paper, we review recent findings on the signalling prop...
متن کاملMast Cells as Regulators of T Cell Responses
Mast cells (MCs) are recognized to participate in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Owing to their strategic location at the host-environment interface, they control tissue homeostasis and are key cells for starting early host defense against intruders. Upon degranulation induced, e.g., by immunoglobulin E (IgE) and allergen-mediated engagement of the high-affinity IgE rec...
متن کاملComparing trait-state anxiety as well as positive and negative affect among obese and normal women (Ahvaz city, Iran, 2017)
Background: Obesity leads to a wide range of problems. Hence, this research was conducted to compare the trait-state anxiety as well as positive and negative affect in obese and normal women. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed in eight sports clubs within the time period of 2017 to 2018 in Ahvaz. To do this, a sample of 200 women, who referred to sports clubs was selec...
متن کامل“Natural Regulators”: NK Cells as Modulators of T Cell Immunity
Natural killer (NK) cells are known as frontline responders capable of rapidly mediating a response upon encountering transformed or infected cells. Recent findings indicate that NK cells, in addition to acting as innate effectors, can also regulate adaptive immune responses. Here, we review recent studies on the immunoregulatory function of NK cells with a specific focus on their ability to af...
