Neutrophil Inhibitory Receptors Expression Is Distinct During Gram-Positive and -Negative Pneumonia and Affects Neutrophil Function

Neutrophil sphingosine 1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid receptors in pneumonia.

The phospholipids sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) act via transmembrane receptors S1P 1-5 and LPA 1-3, respectively. Both have been implicated in inflammatory responses. S1P and LPA receptor profiles on neutrophils of patients with pneumonia compared with healthy subjects were determined by PCR and Western blotting. Chemotaxis studies were performed to assess funct...

Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of CuO nanoparticles against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains

Nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. Copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. In this study  CuO nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic CuSO4<...

Transfer and expression of neutrophil inhibitory factor gene in endothelial and epithelial cells prevent neutrophil adhesion.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Antibacterial PDDA/Honey Nanofiber Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...
