The increasing prevalence of electronic cigarette use, particularly among younger demographics, has prompted urgent investigation into its long-term health implications. While combustible cigarette smoke (CCS) is a well-established carcinogen, the oncogenic potential of electronic cigarette vapor (ECV) remains underexplored. A recent study led by Dr. Moghaddam et al. at The University of ...
These studies aim to identify whether antibodies or T cells generated against a particular antigen react with similar proteins found in different tissues, which can lead to unintended effects and complications. ...
Functional Classification: Beyond Species Boundaries The classification of probiotics by mechanism of action has transcended simplistic categories to incorporate pathway-level resolution of: Immunomodulatory capabilities: Strain-specific surface proteins and secreted factors that interact with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), modulating dendritic cell maturation and ...
Examples include CCL2 (MCP-1) and CCL5 (RANTES), both involved in monocyte and T-cell recruitment. l C chemokines (γ-chemokines): These are less common and lack two of the four cysteine residues, such as XCL1 (lymphotactin). ...
Cancer treatment has witnessed transformative advancements over the past few decades, notably with the emergence of CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) therapy. This revolutionary therapy harnesses the body's immune system by genetically engineering T-cells to target and destroy cancer ...
The IP10-loaded platelets targeted and inhibited tumor cells in the B16F10 melanoma model and lessened immunosuppressive regulatory T cell activity through CD40L activation on platelet membranes which led to boosted anti-tumor immunity. ...
These services encompass the design and optimization of molecules, antibody engineering techniques, and a variety of advanced antigen design strategies, all subjected to rigorous quality control to ensure compliance with the highest efficacy and safety standards. Furthermore, CAR T-cell therapy development services opened up new avenues for identifying ...
Among the various forms of immunotherapy, CAR T-cell therapy (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy) has shown promise, particularly in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), especially in children and young adults. This therapy involves genetically modifying a patient’s T-cells to ...
The primary focus is on harnessing this technology for modifying primary T cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for the immune response. This approach has opened new avenues for immunotherapy, providing hope for treating conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and genetic diseases. Understanding Primary T ...
Introduction to Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) represents a groundbreaking advancement in genomic techniques, allowing researchers to detect and quantify messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules at the single-cell level. ...
They are synthesized and secreted by a range of immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, as well as certain non-immune cells like endothelial cells, epidermal cells, and fibroblasts. Cytokines are produced ...
Scientists are using a variety of gene delivery strategies to insert new genes into cells. One common biological system is viral gene delivery, where the viral vectors are modified to carry the genes and deliver them to the target cells. ...
As potent antigen-presenting cells, DCs are capable of priming naive T cells and regulating their differentiation into effector cells. ...
In the world of biotechnology and cell biology, the immortalization of primary cells has long been a challenge. Traditional methods often fall short when trying to establish immortal cell lines from certain species, such as chickens, monkeys, dogs, and even human T cells. ...
The emergence of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of certain cancers, providing a promising targeted approach to eliminate cancer cells. However, the monitoring and detection of CAR-T cells in vivo remain a challenge in the evaluation of treatment ...
Immune receptors are diverse and include pattern recognition receptors (PRR), Toll-like receptors (TLRs), killer activating and killer inhibitory receptors (KAR and KIR), complement receptors, Fc receptors, B cell receptors, and T cell receptors. Among these receptors, immune checkpoints and Toll-like receptors are particularly important in ...
The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) is a characteristic marker of T cells, playing a crucial role in the immune system. ...
Therefore, understanding the genetic makeup of T cells and the function of each gene can help scientists better understand and treat various immune-related diseases.Methods to Evaluate the Efficiency of T Cell Gene Knockout1. ...
T cells are the most numerous and functionally complex type of lymphocytes, mainly including CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T2 cells, which play an important role in cellular immunity and assist in humoral immune response. According to their functions in the immune response, T lymphocytes mainly include ...
However, some kinds of primary cells are hard to immortalized with lentiviruses or plasmids, such as hepatocytes, and immune cells (e.g., Nature Killer Cells, Dendritic Cells, CD4+ CD8+ T Cells). ...
