The magnetic contribution of the Co3+ ions in Co3BO5 has been investigated using Co (K-edge) XMCD, dc susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements. crystal structure single solved detail at T range 296-703 K. results have supplemented by GGA+U calculations.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in the pathogenesis of measles virus (MV) infection by inducing immune suppression and possibly spreading the virus from the respiratory tract to lymphatic tissues. It is becoming evident that DC function can be modulated by the involvement of different receptors in pathogen interaction. Therefore, we have investigated the relative contributions of different M...

T cell suppression exerted by regulatory T cells represents a well-established phenomenon, but the mechanisms involved are still a matter of debate. Recent data suggest that anergic T cells can suppress responder T cell activation by inhibiting Ag presentation by dendritic cells (DC). In this study, we focused our attention on the mechanisms that regulate the susceptibility of DC to suppressive...

In this article, the stress/stress sensing capability of FeSiB thin films is demonstrated and discussed. The relies on change in permeability by application stress, compressive tensile, DC magnetic field. This susceptibility/permeability was tested exciting field (AC) being same direction with applied stress. susceptibility shown to exhibit a maximal value at given critical Moreover, amplitude ...

DC-SIGN, a type II membrane-spanning C-type lectin that is expressed on the surface of dendritic cells (DC), captures and promotes human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV) infection of CD4(+) T cells in trans. To better understand the mechanism of DC-SIGN-mediated virus transmission, we generated and functionally evaluated a panel of seven monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against DC-SI...

PURPOSE Dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (Dectin-1) and dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) play a crucial role in the early procedure of fungal pathogen defenses. The present study evaluated the associations between Dectin-1 and DC-SIGN gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to fungal keratitis (FK) in the n...

2014 AC complex magnetic susceptibility of ceramic YBa2Cu3O7-03B4 was measured close to the superconducting transition temperature, as a function of the amplitude of the alternating magnetic field and of a superimposed dc field. From the maxima of the imaginary part of susceptibility, the universal scaling of the dc field and the temperature dependence of the intergrain Josephson current were o...
