Oxidative metabolism in cord-blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Polymorphonuclear leucocytes were isolated from cord-blood samples collected from healthy, term infants. Oxidative metabolism was assessed in these cells by hexose monophosphate shunt activity and chemiluminescence. Basal levels of oxidative metabolism were spontaneously increased in resting (nonphagocytic) cord-blood cells as compared to adult controls. As a response to phagocytosis, cord-bloo...
متن کاملPeripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Numerous cell types are involved in maintenance of the intestinal tissue. However, the main players are cells of the epithelial lining and the immune system. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are used to investigate the effect of food bioactives on various immune cells. These cells are easily isolated from blood of healthy donors or buffy coats (leukocyte concentrates, a by-produ...
متن کاملMir-183 and FOXO1 gene expression changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of breast cancer patients
Background and Aim: Today, cancer is considered as a major health problem and affects the health of society. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. According to epidemiological studies, cancer is the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease worldwide and the third leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease and acciden...
متن کاملOptimization of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human PBMCs. This study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of PBMCs samples. The viability of PBMCs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with ...
متن کاملToll Like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Appropriate MS therapeutic strategies need thorough understanding of both disease etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms. Ligation of TLR-2 and TLR-4 stimulates the production of several cytokines leading to CNS autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: To find a relationship between M...
