We show here that the alpha, beta, and gamma isotypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) are expressed in the mouse epidermis during fetal development and that they disappear progressively from the interfollicular epithelium after birth. ...
Replacement of the hyperimmune anti-Rhesus (Rh) D immunoglobulin, currently used to prevent haemolytic disease of the newborn, by fully recombinant human anti-RhD antibodies would solve the current logistic problems associated with supply and demand. The c ...
The B7 co-stimulatory pathway is critical to T cell activation, however its role in the generation of Th2 cells in vivo remains controversial. We have studied the role of B7 co-stimulation in the development of a Th2 immune response to the nematode parasit ...
CD80 and CD86 (B7-1 and B7-2) are the ligands on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) which bind CD28 and deliver the costimulatory signals necessary for T cell activation. The reasons for the existence of two CD28 binding molecules are not well understood. We ...
A chimeric TASP (Template Assembled Synthetic Proteins) mol., consisting of a 4-helix bundle motif and an antibody recognition site, has been covalently attached to a gold surface. The reversible antibody binding to the self-assembled monolayer as monitore ...
Monoclonal IgA antibodies have been produced by a hybridoma cell line grown in different bioreactors using serum-contg. and protein-free media in both basal and fortified versions. The effects of culture conditions on IgA prodn. and quality were studied us ...
Fusion proteins of the human 55-kDa TNF receptor extracellular domain with hinge and C2/C3 constant domains of human IgG1 or IgG3 heavy chains were tested in a primate sepsis model. Twenty-four baboons received 4.6, or 0.2 mg/kg of TNFR5-G1,3, or placebo, ...
The hybridoma cell line ZAC3 expresses Vibrio cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific mouse IgA mols., as a heterogeneous population of monomeric (IgAm), dimeric (IgAd), and polymeric (IgAp) forms. We describe a gentle method combining ultrafiltration, ...
T cells belong to either the alpha beta+ or gamma delta+ lineage as defined by their antigen receptor. Although both T-cell subsets have been shown to be involved in the immune response to the parasite Leishmania major, very little is known about possible ...
