In this study we further characterize the properties of the prostaglandin-producing suppressor cell. Overnight preincubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells results in an increased response of the cells to phytohemagglutinin or Concanavalin A compared to the response of fresh cells. This increase in mitogen response with preincubation was similar in magnitude to the increase in mitogen re...

The memory B-cell (MBC) ELISpot assay is the main technique used to measure antigen-specific MBCs as a readout of humoral immune memory. This assay relies on the ability of MBCs to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells (ASC) upon polyclonal stimulation. The total number of IgG+ ASCs generated by mitogen-stimulation is often used as a reference point; alternatively antigen-specific MBCs ar...

Rehmannia glutinosa extracts have profound medicinal value in the treatment of liver diseases. It contains micro ribonucleic acid molecules that an average 21 nucleotides. These acids are responsible for gene regulation and expression during The study's main objective is to screen active ingredients its mechanism action treating Our study used omnibus database obtain datasets associated with GS...

Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades are one of the many systems that allow plants to survive and defend themselves against pathogens other environmental stresses. Numerous scientific investigations rendered insights molecular signaling pathways take place in an event a stress such as soil salinity. Despite known functions locations proteins play role these pathways, very little is about u...

this in vitro study was conducted to evaluate lymphocyte blastogenic and cytokine production by bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (pha), pokeweed mitogen (pwm) and concanavalin a (con a) mitogens, by using tetrazolium salt and elisa tests, respectively. the results presented that  interleukin-2 (il-2), il-4, il-5, il-10, il-17 and ifn-γ product...
