Soothing touch of CD31 protects endothelium during cellular immune responses.
CD31 is a member of the Ig gene superfamily that is present on the surface of platelets and all leukocytes (1). CD31 is also highly expressed on endothelial cells, where it represents a major constituent of the intercellular junction (1). Based on this cellular distribution and similarities in the cDNA sequence coding for extracellular domains, CD31 has initially been considered as a member “am...
متن کاملCD31 signals confer immune privilege to the vascular endothelium.
Constitutive resistance to cell death induced by inflammatory stimuli activating the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis is a key feature of vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Although this property is central to the maintenance of the endothelial barrier during inflammation, the molecular mechanisms of EC protection from cell-extrinsic, proapoptotic stimuli have not been investigated. We show that t...
متن کاملThe effect of oral consumption of shark cartilage on the cellular immune responses of cancer patients
Background: Shark cartilage is one of the complementary medicines for cancer patients that inhibits tumor progression by several mechanisms. There is not sufficient evidence on its effects on human immune system thereby we investigated its modulatory effects on some cellular immune response parameters in breast cancer patients. Material and methods: After preparation of shark cartilage powder ...

In vitro antigen stimulation of DNA synthesis in lymph node cultures from immunized guinea pigs can be obtained with very low (10(-4) microg/ml) antigen concentrations in the culture fluid. Immunization with low doses of DNP-GPA leads to a cell population capable of being stimulated, on the average, by low concentration of antigen whereas immunization with large antigen doses results in a sensi...
متن کاملCellular immune responses during gonococcal and meningococcal infections.
The genus Neisseria contains two species of clinical importance: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. Although these two microorganisms are closely related genetically, the diseases they produce differ greatly. N. gonorrhoeae is the etiologic agent of gonorrhea, currently among the most common of the classical sexually transmitted diseases, whereas N. meningitidis is the causative ...
