Host cell responses of Salmonella typhimurium infected human dendritic cells
(2006)
Live attenuated Salmonella are attractive vaccine candidates for mucosal application because they
induce both mucosal immune responses and systematic immune responses. After breaking the epithelium barrier,
Salmonella ...
Transcriptional regulation of Rat Endothelial Nitric Oxide Promoter in Pulmonary
(2013)
Nitric oxide levels may exert control on the persistence of pulmonary myofibroblasts cells in pulmonary fibrosis. This study examined the regulation of NO levels by transcription factors that influence the endothelial ...
Biological screening of Kenya medicinal plants using artemia salina (ARTEMIIDAE).
(2011)
Medicinal plants constitute important components of flora and are widely distributed in different regions of Kenya. Based on ethnopharmacological significance, we collected several medicinal plants from South Coast, Kenya ...
A three-dimensional cellular model of the human respiratory tract to study the interaction with particles
(2004)
A novel triple co-culture model of the human airway barrier was
designed to simulate the cellular part of the air–blood barrier of
the respiratory tract represented by macrophages, epithelial cells,
and dendritic cells. ...
Genetic background of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium has profound influence on infection and cytokine patterns in human dendritic cells
(2001)
Salmonella typhimurium (ST) can cause infection in man, and attenuated strains are under consideration as live vaccine vectors. However, little is known about the interaction of ST with human dendritic cells (DC). Here, ...
Evaluation of phagocytic activity in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells
(2001)
Dendritic cells play a central role in initiation of primary T lymphocyte responses to foreign
antigens. Their potency in antigen presentation vis-à-vis reported low or lack of ability to
phagocytize particulate matter ...
Effects of opioids in the formalin test in the Speke’s hinged tortoise (Kinixy’s)
(2009)
Little is known about analgesia in lower vertebrates such as the Speke’s hinged
tortoise (Kinixy’s spekii), yet of late they are increasingly being adopted as pets.
The effects of morphine (5, 7.5, 10 and 20 mg⁄ kg), ...
Evaluation of Acute Toxicity of Crude Plant Extracts from Kenyan Biodiversity using Brine Shrimp, Artemia salina L. (Artemiidae)
(2012)
Purpose: Artemia salina L. (Artemiidae), the brine shrimp larva, is an invertebrate used in the alternative test to determine toxicity of chemicals and natural products. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity ...
Salmonella virulence factor SipB induces activation and release of IL-18 in human dendritic cells
(2002)
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays an important
role in innate and acquired immunity, in particular
against intracellular pathogens. However,
little is known about the microbial factors that
trigger IL-18 secretion by dendritic ...
Atributos Cualitativos, Cuantitativos y Comparativos de los Macrófagos de la Superficie Respiratoria en el Pato Doméstico y el Conejo
(University of Nairobi., 2011)
En los mamíferos, los macrófagos de la superficie respiratoria (SM) son conocidos por jugar el papel más importante en la protección del sistema respiratorio, proporcionando la primera línea de defensa en contra de agentes ...
