The application of cytokine expression assays to differentiate active from previously treated syphilis.
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
To investigate the role of serum cytokine assays to distinguish between active from treated syphilis among serofast patients, we recruited individuals into a prospective cohort study. Participants underwent routine syphilis ...
Cytokines expression in alpacas and llamas exposed to cold stress
(Elsevier, 2016)
Cytokine expression could play an important role in camelids exposed to cold stress and subsequent pneumonia associated infections, therefore inducing a broad array of inflammatory mediators. To understand the host innate ...
SLAM and CD31: signaling molecules involved in cytokine secretion during the development of innate and adaptive immune responses
(Elsevier, 2007-02)
Immune cells are modulated through the crosslinking of receptors named “immunoreceptors”. Ligation of immunoreceptors by their ligands induces a tyrosine-phosphorylation signal that is essential for cell activation or ...
Follicular structures of cows with cystic ovarian disease present altered expression of cytokines
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-08)
Ovulation is considered an inflammatory, cytokine-mediated event.Cytokines, which are recognized as growth factors with immunoregulatory properties, are involved in many cellular processes at the ovarian level. In this ...
Immunohistochemical detection of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in granulomas in cattle with natural Mycobacterium bovis infection
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
Cellular immune response was evaluated in lymph nodes and lung with different granulomatous lesions from cattle naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis. For this purpose, we assessed pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory ...
Amino acid residues involved in the heparin-binding activity of murine IL-12 in the context of an antibody-cytokine fusion protein
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-08)
An antibody-cytokine fusion protein, composed of the murine single-chain cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) genetically fused to a human IgG3 specific for the human tumor-associated antigen HER2/neu maintains antigen binding, ...
Echinococcus granulosus: Different cytokine profiles are induced by single versus multiple experimental infections in dogs
(Elsevier, 2012)
Modulation of host responses is an important strategy by which parasites ensure successful establishment and persistence. Host counteraction against this modulation may be required for the host to develop resistance to ...
Maternal and pregnancy-related factors affecting human milk cytokines among Peruvian mothers bearing low-birth-weight neonates
(Elsevier, 2017)
Several cytokines have been detected in human milk but their relative concentrations differ among women and vary over time in the same person. The drivers of such differences have been only partially identified, while the ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific cytokine biomarkers for the diagnosis of childhood TB in a TB-endemic setting
(Elsevier, 2019)
The tuberculin skin test and interferon-gamma release assays have limitations in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB), particularly in children. This study investigated the performance of candidate M. tuberculosis-specific cytokine ...
Cytokines, antibodies, and histopathological profiles during Giardia infection and variant-specific surface proteinbased vaccination
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018-06)
Giardiasis is one of the most common human intestinal diseases worldwide. Several experimental animal models have been used to evaluate Giardia infections, with gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) being the most valuable model ...
