BACKGROUND Breastfeeding or gestation in schistosomotic mothers can cause long-term alterations the immune response of offspring. OBJECTIVES Evaluate expression histone deacetylases (HDACs) (all classes), production cytokines by T and B lymphocytes macrophages, frequency CD4+CD25+FoxP3+-cells adult offspring born and/or suckled mothers. METHODS We harvested splenocytes from to (BIM), (SIM), to/suckled (BSIM) animals noninfected (Control) at seven-weeks old cultured them with/without...
Background Tuberculosis screening in psoriasis patients is complex due to the immunological alterations associated with psoriasis, presence of comorbidities, and effect immunosuppressive treatment. However, it not established whether results tests are affected by these factors patients. Objectives To determine there a change tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) living tuberculosis (TB)-endemic area after 12 weeks methotrexate (MTX) treatment investigate...
Abstract In experimental autoimmune hepatitis (EAH) of Th1 profile, an extract adult Ascaris suum worms (ASC) was previously found to deviate the immune response a Th2/IL-10 pattern. Here, effects treatment with ASC on production TGF-β and anti-Ascaris isotypes IgG1 IgG2a in EAH were evaluated. induced BALB/c mice, intravenously concanavalin A. Two hours later, these animals received (EAH+ASC group) or PBS vehicle (EAH group). evaluated 8 h, 24 h 7 d after induction. measured splenocyte...
INTRODUCTION Suckling by schistosomotic mice improves anti-ovalbumin (OA) antibody production, while delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) remains unaffected. This property of milk from was investigated in IL-12/IL-23-deficient (IL-12p40KO). METHODS We compared anti-OA DTH, IgG2a and cytokines wild-type IL-12p40KO suckled infected (SIM) or non-infected (CONTROL) mothers. RESULTS SIM showed similar intensity eosinophils the which abolished IL-12p40KO-SIM mice. In IL-12p40KO-SIM, TGF-β levels...
<div>Abstract<p>Multiple myeloma remains treatable but incurable. Despite a growing armamentarium of effective agents, choice therapy, especially in relapse, still relies almost exclusively on clinical acumen. We have developed system, <i>Ex vivo</i> Mathematical Myeloma Advisor (EMMA), consisting patient-specific mathematical models parameterized by an <i>ex assay that reverse engineers the intensity and heterogeneity chemosensitivity primary cells from...
