to determine the importance of q 10 h 2 as an antioxidant in cancer, we measured the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase (q 10 h 2 recycling enzyme) in hl-60 and normal lymphocyte. the cultured cells of hl-60 and human normal lymphocytes were assayed in cell lysate of given number of both hl-60 and normal lymphocyte. the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase and the protein concentration were det...

context connective tissue cells include fibroblasts, chondrocytes, adipocyte, and osteocytes. these cells are specialized for the secretion of collagenous extracellular matrix and are responsible for the architectural framework of the human body. evidence acquisition connective tissue cells play a central role in supporting as well as repairing tissues and organs. fibroblast cell therapy could ...

Circulating lymphocytes leave the blood by binding to specialized high endothelial cells lining postcapillary venules in lymphoid organs or sites of chronic inflammations, migrating through the vessel wall into the surrounding tissue. The capacity of lymphocytes to recognize and bind to high endothelial venules (HEVs) is thus central to the overall process of lymphocyte traffic and recirculatio...

The first studies of complement (C) receptor specificity concerned the primate erythrocyte immune adherence receptor (1) . The erythrocyte immune adherence receptor was at first thought to be specific for only the C3b fragment of immune complex-bound C3 (2, 3), but later Cooper demonstrated that immune complexbound C4 (C4b) was also bound to erythrocytes (4) . When bone marrow-derived lymphocyt...

While the eosinophil's effector functions clearly can contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, the evolutionary benefit to having eosinophils as a distinct class of leukocyte is not clear, especially if one must reconsider the nominally beneficial role of eosinophils in parasite host defense, Eosinophils are equipped to respond to lymphocytes and their cytokines (and not solely the ...

In this research, dipeptide (his-β-alanine) and porphyrin derivatives were choosen for comparing chelating ability of toxic metals such as Al3+, Cu2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ in vitro. The reason for choosing these two compounds is that both of them are naturally present in biological systems and comparison of chelating ability of these two compounds has not yet been done. Synthesis and comparison of kin...

BACKGROUNDS: Seminoma is frequently observed in human and canine testes especially in cryptorchids. Canine and human seminomas are typically associated with leukocytic infiltration. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify the type of lymphocytes that infiltrate to seminomas. METHODS: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes were evaluated by immunohistological techniques in 5 dogs with diffuse seminoma. Routine...
