Autophagy has been reported to be involved in supporting antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells (DCs). We have shown that DCs the ability store for a prolonged time endolysosomal compartments and thereby sustain MHCI CD8+ T cells. In current study, we investigated role of autophagy long-term presentation. show machinery negative impact on storage DCs. Atg5–/–DCs which are deficient or tr...

allergen-specific immunotherapy (ait) has been recently considered as an alternative approach to ameliorate the symptoms of allergen exposure and improvement the patients’ quality of life. dendritic cells (dc) in the forms of tolerogenic or th1-induced cells have been investigated in several studies as one of the promising approaches of ait in allergic diseases. the aim of this study was to eva...

This paper studies the user activity detection and channel estimation problem in a temporally-correlated massive access system where very large number of users communicate with base station sporadically each once activated can transmit probability over multiple consecutive frames. We formulate as dynamic compressed sensing (DCS) to exploit both sparsity temporal correlation activity. By leverag...

Background & Objective: There is a complicated interaction between leishmaniasis and the host immune cells, and also between the host immune cells. These interactions have fundamental effects on the outcome of the disease. The current study aimed at characterizing the number, distribution, co-localization, and interrelation of 4 types of inflamma...

Objective(s): Chikungunya virus (ChikV) infection is characterized by persistent infection in joints and lymphoid organs. The ChikV Capsid protein plays an important role in regulating virus replication. In this study, we hypothesized that capsid protein may stimulate dendritic cell (DC) activation and maturation and trigger an inflammatory response in mice. ...

  The problem of locating distribution centers (DCs) is one of the most important issues in design of supply chain. In previous researches on this problem, each DC could supply products for all of the customers. But in many real word problems, DCs can only supply products for customers who are in a certain distance from the facility, coverage radius. Thus, in this paper a multi-objective intege...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) are potent antigen presenting cells for triggering of the immune reaction post transplantation. these cells are centrally involved in the initiation of t cell-dependent immune responses. objective: to compare the level of dc maturation and function in liver transplant recipients with healthy controls. methods: in this study, twelve peripheral blood samples were...

predominantly antibody deficiencies are a category of primary immunodeficiency diseases, which consist of several rare disorders such as common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) and x-linked agammaglobulinemia (xla). we evaluated the effects of cvid and xla patients’ sera as a source of microenviromental factors on maturation and function of monocyte-derived dcs. blood was collected from 10 cvid...
