چکیده
740 the known susceptibility of HIBECs to lymphocyte-mediated damage. This report describes the development and application of a flow-cytometric assay for examination of the effects of cytokine stimulation on lymphocyte adhesion to monolayer cultured endothelial and epithelial cells. This assay is potentially superior to conventional isotopic features as it is less dependent on the structure of target cell monolayers and allows simultaneous phenotypic characterization of the adherent cells.

متن کاملHuman Neutrophil Flow Chamber Adhesion Assay
Neutrophil firm adhesion to endothelial cells plays a critical role in inflammation in both health and disease. The process of neutrophil firm adhesion involves many different adhesion molecules including members of the β2 integrin family and their counter-receptors of the ICAM family. Recently, naturally occurring genetic variants in both β2 integrins and ICAMs are reported to be associated wi...

Background: The B-cell defect in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is caused by mutations in the gene for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK mutations result in deficient expression of BTK protein in peripheral blood monocytes. Methods: Using the anti-BTK monoclonal antibody (48-2H), a flow cytometric analysis of intra cytoplasmic BTK protein expression in monocytes was performed to identify I...

Background: Hematogones are normal B-cell precursor which can be seen in different physiological and pathological conditions. Due to variation in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts immunophenotyping and interference of hematogones in minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, precise discrimination of hematogones is very crucial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ex...
