Ganoderma Lucidum Induces the Expression of CD40/CD86 on Peripheral Blood Monocytes
Background: The major immuno-modulating effects of Ganoderma lucidum include mitogenicity and activation of immune effector cells such as T cells, macrophages and natural killer cells resulting in the production of cytokines. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of CD40 and CD80 by G. lucidum-treated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Methods: Monocytes wer...
متن کاملEffect of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on Production of Dendritic Cells from Peripheral Blood Monocytes
Background and purpose: Dendritic cells are professional antigen presenting cells that initiate and modulate immune responses. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is identified as a prophylactic agent that can suppress tumor formation. This research aimed at investigating the effect of EGCG on differentiation of dendritic cells from monocytes and as a potential substitute for IL-4 in this process. ...
متن کاملInduction of tissue transglutaminase in human peripheral blood monocytes
The levels and activity of tissue transglutaminase were studied in human peripheral blood monocytes during differentiation into macrophages in vitro. The enzyme was present at low levels in freshly isolated monocytes (less than 20 ng/mg cell protein) but increased 50-fold during 10 d of adherent culture in autologous serum, reaching levels of 0.1% of total cellular protein. The rate of appearan...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) is a potent chemoattractant for human peripheral monocytes.
We have previously reported that the serine protease plasmin triggers chemotaxis in human peripheral monocytes, but not in polymorphonuclear leukocyte. We now show that the structurally related lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) as well as recombinant apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]) trigger chemotactic responses in human monocytes equipotent to that observed with the standard chemoattractant FMLP. The chemotact...
متن کاملStudies on Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes in Vitro
A study of the kinetics of RNA and DNA synthesis in PWM-stimulated lymphocytes revealed that RNA synthesis preceded the onset of DNA synthesis by approximately 24 hr and that DNA synthesis and transformation was maximal between 66 to 78 hr. Histochemical and radioautographic studies on PWM stimulated cultures indicated that at 72 hr 50 to 60% of the cell population had been transformed by PWM, ...
