Background: Correlations between bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, skin and lung transplant rejection or survival with human cytokine gene polymorphisms have been described. There are also reports about the role of cytokines and Tumor Necrosis Factors-Alpha (TNF-α) on corneal transplant in animal models. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of cytokines in corneal allograft rejection...

Indian Journal of Clinical Medicine 2013:4 9 Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are an old immunological tool with applications in the fields of immunology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and applied biology. Production of monoclonal antibodies using hybridoma technology was discovered in 1975 by Georges Kohler of West Germany and Cesar Milstein of Argentina. Modern-day research on MAbs from ...

The diagnosis of graft rejection is one of the fundamental aspects of caring for patients with heart transplantation. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) has important limitations, as it is an invasive procedure, with variable interpretation and limited sensitivity.1-3 Thus, it would be of interest to have a noninvasive diagnostic method that facilitates follow-up of patients with heart transplantation...

in this work, several machine learning techniques are presented for nanofiltration modeling. according to the results, specific errors are defined. the rejection due to nanofiltration increases with pressure but decreases with increasing the concentration of chloride ion. methods of machine learning represent the rejection of nanofiltration as a function of concentration, ph, pressure and also ...

Nonlinear behavior and disturbance sensitivity of the blood pressure processes cause them to be known as an appropriate test bench for advanced control approaches. Because of special behavior and varying parameters of blood pressure processes, multiple models predictive control approaches (MMPC) have the better performance than other ones from both regulation and disturbance rejection points of...

   In this study, linearized transport pore model (LTPM) is applied for modeling nanofiltration (NF) membrane separation process. This modeling approach is based on the modified extended Nernst-Planck equation enhanced by Debye-Huckel theory to take into account the variations of activity coefficient especially at high salt concentrations. Rejection of single-salt (NaCl) electrolyte is inve...

background: the innate immunity plays an important role in the host response to transplantation by toll-like receptors and results in development of acute allograft rejection. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of tlr2 and cd14 (co-receptor) gene polymorphisms with acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients.   methods : the study was conducted in a population of 239 subj...

Introduction: Cellular imaging of the immune response by MRI has been used to reveal the existence of particular cells in the tissue, which has several important applications in biomedical research. One important application is the detection of the rejection severity in cardiac allograft transplantation. Non-invasive methods using ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) and micrometer-...

BACKGROUND Already used at the incept of research on event-related potentials (ERP) over half a century ago, the arithmetic mean is still the benchmark for ERP estimation. Such estimation, however, requires a large number of sweeps and/or a careful rejection of artifacts affecting the electroencephalographic recording. NEW METHOD In this article we propose a method for estimating ERPs as they...
