Preparation and Labelling of Suspen- Sions of Colonic Epithelial Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
The release of 51Cr from labelled colon cells was used to assess a possible lymphocytotoxic effect of peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients suffering from recurrent aphthous ulceration. No significant (p > 0.03) difference was observed between the isotope release following incubation with patients' or control lymphocytes. The absence of such a lymphocytotoxic effect, detectable with oral epithelial cells, is discussed in relation to the role of cellular hypersensitivity in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis and aphthous ulceration.

Destruction of thiamine by certain fungi.
Yonezawa and Aoki (1) examined the thiamine-decomposing activity of cell suspensions of 96 strains of yeast-like fungi isolated from the oral cavity and found that, while Candida albicans, of which there were 62 strains, failed to show any thiaminase activity, the C4 strain forming abnormal colonies had a strong thiaminase activity. Another strain, A9, was also found to have thia minase activit...

متن کاملImmuno-gold Labelling of Chlamydia trachomatis
Background Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as an important cause of preventable sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. It is known to be of an obligate intracellular nature and enters its target cells via an endocytic process. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is one of the main candidates for the attachment and entry of chlamydia to the host cells we have tried to label the epitopes...
متن کاملI-31: Reconstruction of Human Endometrium from Somatic Stem Cells
s:3115:"Background: During reproductive life, the human endometrium undergoes around 500 cycles of growth, breakdown and regeneration. This outstanding regenerative capability is the basis for cyclic endometrial preparation and its dysfunction is involved in pathological disorders. Endometrial regeneration is mediated by the existence of a specialized endometrial stem cell (SC) population recen...
