The subtypes and markers of human immune cells with the greatest inflammatory response to IL-1? are identified.

BACKGROUND HIV infection is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Chronic low-grade immune activation is likely one of the driving mechanisms. This systematic review provides an overview of the evidence addressing the relation between immune markers and surrogate markers of CVD (except CIMT) in HIV infection. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Em...

Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...
