Invariant Vα14+NKT Cells Participate in the Early Response to EntericListeria monocytogenesInfection

Invariant V alpha 14+ NKT cells participate in the early response to enteric Listeria monocytogenes infection.

Invariant Valpha14(+) NKT cells are a specialized CD1-reactive T cell subset implicated in innate and adaptive immunity. We assessed whether Valpha14(+) NKT cells participated in the immune response against enteric Listeria monocytogenes infection in vivo. Using CD1d tetramers loaded with the synthetic lipid alpha-galactosylceramide (CD1d/alphaGC), we found that splenic and hepatic Valpha14(+) ...

Stromal cells participate in the murine esophageal mucosal injury response.

We identified α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)- and vimentin-expressing spindle-shaped esophageal mesenchymal cells in the adult and neonate murine esophageal lamina propria. We hypothesized that these esophageal mesenchymal cells express and secrete signaling and inflammatory mediators in response to injury. We established primary cultures of esophageal mesenchymal cells using mechanical and enzy...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
