Immunologic profiles of persons recruited for a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of hookworm infection.

30 Oct 2009 Data from epidemiologic studies suggest that hookworm infections, in establishing an immunologic phenotype conducive to parasite survival, may protect against the development of allergic disease. We describe immunologic findings from a clinical ... Read more...

Effects of in vitro exposure to hay dust on expression of interleukin-23, -17, -8, and -1beta and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 by pulmonary mononuclear cells from horses susceptible to recurrent airway obstruction.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine gene expression of selected cytokines in pulmonary mononuclear cells isolated from healthy horses and horses susceptible to recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), and to determine whether interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 were ... Read more...

Fetal BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells promote the expansion of human Th17 cells, but inhibit the production of Th1 cells.

29 Sep 2009 Th type 17 (Th17) cells have been identified as a proinflammatory T-cell subset. Here, we investigated the regulation of human Th17 cells by fetal BM-derived mesenchymal stem cells (FBM-MSC). We cocultured FBM-MSC with human PBMC or CD4(+) T cells ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Leukocytes, Mononuclear'

Definition: Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

Descriptor UI: D007963

Alternative terms: Leukocytes, Mononuclear; Mononuclear Leukocytes; Leukocyte, Mononuclear; Mononuclear Leukocyte;

Allowable Qualifiers: classification; cytology; drug effects; enzymology; immunology; metabolism; microbiology; parasitology; pathology; physiology; radiation effects; radiography; radionuclide imaging; secretion; transplantation; ultrastructure; ultrasonography; chemistry; virology;

Tree Number: A11.118.637.555; A15.145.229.637.555; A15.382.490.555;

History Note: 88

Technical Notes: do not confuse with MONOCYTES; Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) unspecified goes here; prefer specific indentions
