Tissue Extracellular Matrix Nanoparticle Presentation in Electrospun Nanofibers
Biomaterials derived from the decellularization of mature tissues retain biological and architectural features that profoundly influence cellular activity. However, the clinical utility of such materials remains limited as the shape and physical properties are difficult to control. In contrast, scaffolds based on synthetic polymers can be engineered to exhibit specific physical properties, yet ...
متن کاملExtracellular antigen processing and presentation by immature dendritic cells.
In antigen presentation to CD4(+) T cells, proteins are degraded to peptide fragments and loaded onto class II MHC molecules in a process involving the peptide exchange factors H-2M (murine) or HLA-DM (human). In many antigen-presenting cells these processes occur in intracellular endosomal compartments, where peptides are generated and loaded onto class II MHC proteins for subsequent transport...
متن کاملHuman glioma-mesenchymal extracellular matrix antigen defined by monoclonal antibody.
The distribution and localization of a glioma-associated antigen defined by monoclonal antibody 81C6 has been examined using human cultured cell lines and tissues. Monoclonal antibody 81C6 was selected from a hybridoma fusion of spleen cells of mice immunized with the glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive human glioma cell line U-251 MG. Results of cell surface radioimmunoassay and absorptio...
متن کاملAntigen presentation
The immune response to infection depends centrally on the T lymphocytes of the immune system, and the detection of infection by T lymphocytes depends in turn on the presentation of antigen to the T cells by molecules encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The biological function of these molecules is to bind proteolytic fragments (peptides) derived from foreign proteins generate...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix
The tissues of a multicellular organism contain two main components, the cells themselves, onwhichmost biological research has traditionally focused, and the material that lies between the cells. This material is called the extracellular matrix, usually abbreviated to ‘ECM’. The ratio of tissue volume occupied by ECM to that occupied by cells varies from less than 1:10 (e.g. in muscles) to more...
