چکیده

A new histochemical technique for morphological studies of mononuclear cells and granulocytes, based on fluorescent staining with methyl green, pyronine Y, and stilbene-isothiocyanato disulfonic acid (MPS stain) is described. The method was applied to mononuclear cells isolated from the blood of normal human subjects by Ficoll-Isopaque density centrifugation. Three cell populations were distinguished, mainly on the basis of differences in morphology and cytochemistry, utilizing the MPS stain. One of the cell types had many of the morphological characteristics of the monocyte. This technique, augmented by lysosomal content and endocytosis capacity studies, revealed contimination of the cell suspension with a larger percentage of monocytes than has usually been reported in the literature.

Conditioned Medium from Cultured Colorectal Cancer Cells Affects Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Inflammatory Phenotype in Vitro

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Studies have indicated that immune cells and soluble factors play a key role in maintaining the balance between tumor-promoting inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. It has been shown that secreted cytokines from CRC cell lines could affect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and macrophages phenot...

Effect of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on Production of Dendritic Cells from Peripheral Blood Monocytes

Background and purpose: Dendritic cells are professional antigen presenting cells that initiate and modulate immune responses. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is identified as a prophylactic agent that can suppress tumor formation. This research aimed at investigating the effect of EGCG on differentiation of dendritic cells from monocytes and as a potential substitute for IL-4 in this process. ...

Flowcytometric Analysis of Tumor Associated Macrophages in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast

Background: Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer in Iran. Impaired immune responses occur frequently in cancer patients, but the mechanisms of the induced immune defects remain poorly understood. It is believed that infiltrated immune cells, especially macrophages, may provide help for tumor cell growth and metastasis.   Objective: To analyze the status of tumor as...
