We provide a microscopic description of the fusion reactions between $^{40,48}$Ca and $^{78}$Ni. The internuclear potentials are obtained using density-constrained (DC) time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approach cross sections calculated via incoming wave boundary condition method. By performing DC-TDHF calculations at several selected incident energies, for both systems energy-dependence barr...

C1q modulates the differentiation and function of cells committed to the monocyte-derived dendritic cell (DC) lineage. Because the 2 C1q receptors found on the DC surface-gC1qR and cC1qR-lack a direct conduit into intracellular elements, we postulated that the receptors must form complexes with transmembrane partners. In the present study, we show that DC-SIGN, a C-type lectin expressed on DCs,...

This study aimed to investigate the ornamental utilization, two-year growth performance in natural habitat and cultural conditions, generative production methods, morphologic phenologic plant properties of Campanula grandis, which is an endemic species demonstrating potential needs ex-situ conservation cultivation. In addition, germination seeds collected new season was compared with that were ...

Dendritic cells (DC) are acknowledged to be quintessential in the armamentarium to mount anti-tumor immune responses and have been utilized in varying capacities for cancer immunotherapy. Recent advancements & lessons leant from prior DC therapies have revealed that major barriers hinder the efficacy of cancer vaccination with DC, principal of which is the hostile environment of the local tumor...

In the present study, we investigated in vivo the infection and APC functions of dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (Mphi) after administration of live mycobacteria to mice. Experiments were conducted with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) or a rBCG expressing a reporter Ag. Following infection of mice, DC and Mphi were purified and the presence of immunogenic peptide/MHC cla...

Topical antigen application is a focus of current vaccine research. This immunization route mimics natural antigen exposure across a barrier tissue and generates T cells imprinted for skin-selective homing. Soluble antigens introduced through this route require cross-presentation by DC to generate CD8 T cell responses. Here we have explored the relative contribution of various skin-derived DC s...
