CELLULAR RECEPTORS

Cellular Receptors

The possibility that a rat alloantiserum DA anti-Lewis possesses similar recognition structures for Lewis transplantation antigens, as do DA immunocompetent cells, was investigated by raising an antiserum against this alloantiserum in (Lewis x DA)F(1) hosts. This antiserum, as well as one provoked by injecting DA lymphoid cells, was active against recognition structures for Lewis antigens of DA...

Membrane Receptors and Cellular Regulation

problems of emphasis rather than fact exist. The advantages of enteral over parenteral nutritional support are mentioned only as cursory notes. In addition to protection from atrophy of the GI tract, the lower costs of enteral support mandate its use whenever possible. Similarly, the weighty ethical issues involved in hyperalimentation of the terminally ill patient are only briefly mentioned in...

Cellular Receptors for Human Enterovirus Species A

Human enterovirus species A (HEV-A) is one of the four species of HEV in the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae. Among HEV-A, coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) and enterovirus 71 (EV71) are the major causative agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Some other types of HEV-A are commonly associated with herpangina. Although HFMD and herpangina due to HEV-A are common febrile diseas...

Estrogen receptors: orchestrators of pleiotropic cellular responses.

Estrogen receptors (ERs) orchestrate both transcriptional and non-genomic functions in response to estrogens, xenoestrogens and signals emanating from growth factor signalling pathways. The pleiotropic and tissue-specific effects of estrogens are likely to be mediated by the differential expression of distinct estrogen receptor subtypes (ERalpha and ERbeta) and their coregulators. The recent an...
