Whey protein hydrolysate and branched-chain amino acids downregulate inflammation-related genes in vascular endothelial cells.
A recent review of clinical studies reports that dairy products may improve inflammation, a key etiologic cardiovascular disease risk factor. Yet the impact of dairy proteins on inflammatory markers is controversial and could be mediated by a differential impact of whey proteins and caseins. In this study, we hypothesized that whey proteins may have a greater anti-inflammatory effect than casei...
متن کاملSize-dependent immunogenicity: therapeutic and protective properties of nano-vaccines against tumors.
Infection can protect against subsequent disease by induction of both humoral and cellular immunity, but inert protein-based vaccines are not as effective. In this study, we present a new vaccine design, with Ag covalently conjugated to solid core nano-beads of narrowly defined size (0.04-0.05 microm) that localize to dendritic cells (DEC205(+) CD40(+), CD86(+)) in draining lymph nodes, inducin...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of therapeutic proteins.
A year ago Nicole Casadevall of the Hotel-Dieu in Paris and her colleagues published their first 13 cases of pure red-cell aplasia (PRCA) associated with the use of erythropoietin (Epo) in patients with chronic renal failure [1]. As of November 2002, the number of antibody-mediated reported cases in Europe, Canada and Australia has increased to more than 175. The most likely explanation for thi...
متن کاملTherapeutic surfactant-stripped frozen micelles
Injectable hydrophobic drugs are typically dissolved in surfactants and non-aqueous solvents which can induce negative side-effects. Alternatives like 'top-down' fine milling of excipient-free injectable drug suspensions are not yet clinically viable and 'bottom-up' self-assembled delivery systems usually substitute one solubilizing excipient for another, bringing new issues to consider. Here, ...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive peptides and their therapeutic applications☆
The immune system is vital for detecting and evading endogenous and exogenous threats to the body. Failure to regulate this homeostasis leads to autoimmunity, which is often associated with malfunctioning T cell signaling. Several medications are available to suppress over-reactive T lymphocytes, but many of the currently marketed drugs produce severe and life-threatening side-effects. Ribosoma...
