Methotrexate-induced pneumonitis is a well-known clinical entity, but the mechanism for the induction of the pulmonary disease is ill defined. In three patients with this disorder, evidence was obtained for elaboration of a lymphokine, leukocyte inhibitory factor (LIF), by peripheral blood lymphocytes after incubation with methotrexate (MTX) in the direct leukocyte migration inhibition test. Co...

Localized inflammation and the associated influx of leukocytes is a hallmark of the pathogenesis of many diseases. The ability to target the recruitment of leukocytes holds vast therapeutic potential in inflammatory diseases where there is excessive cell recruitment due to an overactive immune response, or the improper resolution of the initial response resulting in chronic leukocyte infiltration.

Leukocyte accumulation during inflammation depends on the concerted action of selectin and integrin adhesion molecules, which promote capture, rolling, and arrest of these cells on activated endothelium. In addition to interacting with endothelial cells, leukocytes can also adhere to already adherent leukocytes through an L-selectin-dependent mechanism. Initiation of adhesion through this mecha...

results of all participants, 104 patients (52%) were diagnosed with cmv infection. there was no significant difference between the two groups, with and without cmv infection, in terms of patient’s characteristics. the cmv infection, in patients receiving a transplanted organ from deceased donor, was significantly more prevalent than in those receiving kidney transplant from living donor (63% vs...

the object of this cross sectional study was to determine the hcv subtype 3a envelope protein binding affinity with human leukocyte antigen. envelope 1 (e1) protein is one of the structural proteins responsible for entering the cells through the receptors. the binding affinity of e1 protein epitopes to the selected human leukocyte antigen (hla) class i alleles was investigated using the compute...
