In an attempt to define the requirement of T8, T4, and T3 surface molecules in functional interactions occurring between human cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and specific target cells, we have analyzed a large number of CTL clones derived from primary mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) T cell populations for their susceptibility to inhibition by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed against these sur...

We used dual laser two-color flow cytometry to compare the expression of surface markers associated with activation and with differentiation in lung and peripheral blood T lymphocytes from normal subjects. T cell subsets, defined based on their reactivity with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8, were analyzed for expression of activation antigens as detected by MAbs to the interle...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial cells has been indicated as an important component of neoplastic transformation although, the genetic mechanism involved in this process has not been defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of different genes related to EMT such as E-cadherin, TGFbeta1, TGFbeta2, h-RAS, TWIST1, SNAIL2, SMAD5, FN1, CEACAM1 and JAG1 using...

Phase diagrams of the two-dimensional one-band t-t8 Hubbard model are obtained within the two-patch and temperature-cutoff many-patch renormalization group approaches. At small t8 and at van Hove band fillings antiferromagnetism dominates, while with increasing t8 or changing filling antiferromagnetism is replaced by d-wave superconductivity. Near t85t/2 and close to van Hove band fillings the ...

T helper 17 (Th17) cells are strong inducers of numerous autoimmune diseases and inflammation. However, the role of Th17 cells and interleukin (IL)‑17 in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) are yet to be elucidated. In the present study, a rat model of TON was established using a fluid percussion brain injury device. Th17 cells were found to be upregulated in the spleens of rats in the TON group. ...

We consider d=10 N=1 supersymmetry algebra with maximal number of tensor charges Z and introduce a class of orbits of Z, invariant w.r.t. the T8 subgroup of massless particles’ little group T8 ⋉ SO(8). For that class of orbits we classify all possible orbits and little groups, which appear to be semidirect products of T8 ⋉ SO(k1) × ...SO(kn) form, with k1 + ...kn = 8, where compact factor is sp...

Soil fertility is one of the most promising factors that directly impact sustainable crop production. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted in net house on capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) agricultural soil to study effects vermicompost (VC) and inorganic fertilizers (NPK) growth, yield nutrient content plants. The growth parameters nutritional values were observed during under eleven treatmen...
