Receptors for gammaglobulin in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Receptors for gammaglobulin in the central and peripheral nervous system.

A heterogeneous group of receptors binding the Fc region of immunoglobulin (Ig), Fc receptors provide important links between the cellular and the humoral branches of the immune system. The members of this receptor group, specific for essentially all the Ig isotypes, are expressed on a variety of cells and mediate multiple important functions. Receptors for IgG (FcyR), a subgroup within the lar...

ADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...

Adenosine receptors and the central nervous system.

The adenosine receptors (ARs) in the nervous system act as a kind of "go-between" to regulate the release of neurotransmitters (this includes all known neurotransmitters) and the action of neuromodulators (e.g., neuropeptides, neurotrophic factors). Receptor-receptor interactions and AR-transporter interplay occur as part of the adenosine's attempt to control synaptic transmission. A(2A)ARs are...

P124: Listeriosis in Central Nervous System

Listeriosis is one of the CNS inflammatory diseases which is happened majority in the form of sporadic. Listeriosis is ingested with the food. Infection occurrence in an exposed person depends on the number of organisms ingested, the virulence of the organisms strain and the individual condition. It is known that Listeriosis has decisive importance as an infection which the cellular immunodefen...
