OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera, BG-12) affects B-cell subsets in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).METHODS: Peripheral blood B cells were compared for surface marker expression in patients with RRMS prior to initiation of treatment,...

Activation of Langerhans-Type Dendritic Cells Alters Human Cytomegalovirus Infection and Reactivation in a Stimulus-Dependent Manner.

Frontiers in microbiology

Coronel R, Jesus DM, Dalle Ore L, Mymryk JS, Hertel L.

Oral mucosal Langerhans cells (LC) are likely to play important roles in host defense against infection by human cytomegalovirus (CMV). We previously showed that in vitro-differentiated immature LC (iLC) populations contain smaller amounts of infected cells but produce higher...

Expression of Human Soluble CD40 Ligand in Pichia pastoris and Its Effects on Dendritic Cells and Malignant B Cells.

CD40 ligand (CD40L) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily and is expressed primarily on the activated CD4( )T lymphocytes. The CD40 molecule, the cognate receptor of CD40L presents on many immunocytes such as B lymphocytes,...

Immunomodulation for the prevention and treatment of lung infections.

Seminars in respiratory and critical care medicine

Standiford TJ, Deng JC.
PMID: 16088453
Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2004 Feb;25(1):95-108. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-822309.

The clearance of microbes from the respiratory tract requires the generation of a vigorous and compartmentalized host immune response. When pulmonary infection occurs in the setting of impaired innate and acquired immune responses, antimicrobial agents alone often cannot cure...

SOLUBLE CD40 LIGAND IN DEMENTIA.

Drugs of the future

Giunta B, Figueroa KP, Town T, Tan J.

Historically, platelets were viewed as simple anucleate cells responsible for initiating thrombosis and maintaining hemostasis, but clearly they are also key mediators of inflammation and immune cell activation. An emerging body of evidence links platelet function and thrombosis to...

Orally tolerant CD4 T cells respond poorly to antigenic stimulation but strongly to direct stimulation of intracellular signaling pathways.

Cytotechnology
