Cell migration inhibition of white blood cells in the presence of total protein lepromin (TPL) was studied in ten lepromatous patients, six tuberculoid patients, and ten normal controls; adding normal, tuberculoid, lepromatous, or no serum to the culture medium. Using normal or no serum, lepromatous patients and skin negative controls gave negative reactions, while tuberculoid patients and skin...

introduction: chemokine receptors are found on the surface of stem cells. there have been 19 distinct chemokine receptors described in mammals. chemokines are major players in migration and homing. therefore, changes in their levels or function can help us to increase the migratory potential of these cells. valproic acid differs in structure from other drugs in common use. the way in which valp...
