Dandruff is a common scalp condition. The immune-microenvironment of dandruff skin remains poorly characterised and the hair follicle’s physiological immune privilege (HF IP) status in completely unknown. We hypothesised that latter might be important context dandruff-associated inflammation as HF IP expected to impact on overall immunophysiology. analysed expression biomarkers (CD200, MHC clas...

Certain parasites have evolved to evade the immune response and establish chronic infections that may persist for many years. T cell responses in these conditions become muted despite ongoing infection. Upregulation of surface receptors with inhibitory properties provides an immune cell-intrinsic mechanism that, under conditions of chronic infection, regulates immune responses and limits cellul...

PURPOSE There is a lack of definitive cell surface markers to differentiate cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) from stromal fibroblasts, which could contaminate HCEC cultures. The aim of our study is to discover cell surface antigens on HCECs that can be used to identify and purify HCECs from stromal fibroblasts. METHODS RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to find differentially o...

CD200R1 expressed on the surface of myeloid and lymphoid cells delivers immune inhibitory signals to modulate inflammation when engaged with its ligand CD200. Signalling through CD200/CD200R1 has been implicated in a number of immune-related diseases including allergy, infection, cancer and transplantation, as well as several autoimmune disorders including arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosu...

Introduction: The diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/ small lymphoma (CLL/SLL), which also includes atypical forms, can be very difficult. aim this study is to compare immunohistochemical (IHC) and flow cytometric (FC) immunophenotyping methods in the CLL/SLL, most common mature B-cell leukemia/lymphoma adults, bone marrow biopsy. In these two methods, it determine minimum panels that di...
