Effects of IL-17 on functional activity of peripheral blood cells / Efekti IL-17 na funkcionalnu aktivnost ćelija periferne krvi
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Beograd, 2004)
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, while its specific receptor is ubiquitously distributed. The inflammatory capacity of IL-17 is based on its ability ...
Differences in the relationship of specificity to titre and functional affinity between circulating Ga- and pan-reactive IgM rheumatoid factors in rheumatoid arthritis
(Oxford University Press, 2004)
Objective. To determine if there are the differences in titre and functional affinity for immunoglobulin (Ig) G subclasses and glycoforms between the Ga- and pan-specific IgM rheumatoid factors (RFs) present in the sera ...
Interleukine-17-induced inhibitory effect on late stage murine erythroid bone marrow progenitors
(John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, Montrouge, 2004)
Recent studies have shown that the T cell-derived cytokine, interleukin-17 (IL-17), stimulates hematopoiesis, specifically granulopoiesis inducing expansion of committed and immature progenitors in bone marrow. Our previous ...
Comparison of two different protocols for the induction of maturation of human dendritic cells in vitro.
(Vojnomedicinska akademija - Institut za naučne informacije, Beograd, 2004)
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DC) have been used for immunotherapy of malignant tumors, different kinds of infections, and other clinical conditions. For that purpose, optimal conditions for the generation of functionally ...
The immune system in the male ureter / Imunski sistem uretre muškaraca
(Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Beograd, 2004)
Sluznica muške uretre je inicijalno mesto infekcije brojnim patogenima koji su prenosivi seksualnim putem. U njenim donjim segmentima ce odvijaju složene aktivnosti vezane za kontrolu infekcije i sprečavanje njenog širenja ...
Muscle strength testing: evaluation of tests of explosive force production
(Springer, New York, 2004)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate four tests of explosive force production (EFP). Specifically, the main aims of the study were to assess the reliability of different EFP tests, to examine their relationship with ...
Changes in the degree of galactosylation of rabbit IgG during long-term immunization with bovine serum albumin / Promene u stepenu galaktozilacije IgG kunića tokom dugotrajne imunizacije goveđim serumskim albuminima
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Beograd, 2004)
The galactose content of isolated IgG was analyzed before immunization and at intervals during prolonged immunization over 16 months. It was found that IgGs from non-immunized and immunized animals differed in galactose ...
In vitro tissue cultures: Microencapsulation and bioreactor cultivation / In vitro kulture tkiva - mikroenkapsulacija i bioreaktorska kultivacija
(Institut bezbednosti, Beograd, 2004)
In this paper, two strategies for in vitro tissue cultivation are presented Microencapsulation is aimed for transplantation of functional tissues encapsulated in semi-permeable membranes, which provide efficient transport ...
Relative roles of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II in experimental post-ischaemic acute renal failure
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2004)
Background. The relative roles of endothelin (ET)-1 and angiotensin (ANG) II in post-ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF) have not been fully established so far. With the aim of contributing to this goal, we assessed in ...
Cell support studies aimed for cartilage tissue engineering in perfused bioreactors
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Durnten-Zurich, 2004)
Cartilage tissue engineering based on chondrogenic cells seeded onto biodegradable polymer supports and cultivated in bioreactors can potentially become an effective method for creating functional tissue equivalents. ...
