[Millerenolide induces suppressive activity on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells].
BACKGROUND Natural products are used in the production of therapeutic drugs due to their wide diversity and excellent adaptability to biological structures. Sesquiterpene lactones are the active constituents of several plants from the Asteraceae family. AIM To assess the in vitro effect of a sesquiterpene lactone (millerenolide). MATERIAL AND METHODS The drug effect was assessed measuring t...
متن کاملOptimization of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human PBMCs. This study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of PBMCs samples. The viability of PBMCs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with ...
متن کاملSuppressive effects of interleukin-10 on human mononuclear phagocyte function against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.
The effects of interleukin (IL)-10, a potent antiinflammatory cytokine, on human monocyte functions against two medically important pathogens, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus, were studied. Incubation with 20-100 ng/mL IL-10 for 2-3 days decreased the fungicidal activity of monocytes against serum-opsonized C. albicans blastoconidia (P</=.04), reduced their capacity to damage unopson...
متن کاملThe effects of fluconazole and cytokines on human mononuclear cells.
Candida infections are common infections and fluconazole is one of the most frequently administered antifungal agents in their treatment. The resistance developed against antifungal agents has necessitated the improvement of new treatments. This study focuses on the investigation of the effect of fluconazole and cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-al...
متن کاملHuman Blood Mononuclear Cells
IL-18 is synthesized as a precursor molecule without a signal peptide but requires the IL-1 b converting enzyme (ICE, caspase-1) for cleavage into a mature peptide. Human precursor IL-18 was expressed, purified, and cleaved by ICE into a 18-kD mature form. Mature IL-18 induced IL-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 a , and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 in human peripheral blood mononuclear ce...
