Macrophage infiltration in human non-small-cell lung cancer: the role of CC chemokines
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-04)
Bronchogenic carcinoma is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality in the United States, with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 15%. This aggressive behavior reflects, among other traits, the capacity ...
Transtubular bioreactor: A perfusion device for mammalian cell cultivation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Science & Technology Letters ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-01)
A transtubular mammalian cell perfusion chamber has been developed that allows separate delivery and control of medium and gas flow to the cells. The hydrodynamic and mass transfer characteristics of the reactor are studied ...
A specific Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the determination of human C5a antigen
(Elsevier, 1983-09-16)
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been developed to detect human C5a antigen. This ELISA methodology has been shown to be a highly sensitive technique capable of detecting C5a antigen concentrations below 10 ng/ml. ...
A rapid and sensitive screening method for the detection of anti-2-acetylaminofluorene immunoglobulins
(Elsevier, 1988-04-22)
A method is described in which anti-2-acetylaminofluorene immunoglobulins may be detected using a simple and sensitive screening procedure. The method is based on immunoglobulin binding of an 125I derivatized 2-aminofluorene ...
Synthesis and Erosion Properties of PEG-Containing Polyanhydrides
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-05-10)
To tailor the erosion rate of polyanhydrides while retaining their surface erosion characteristics, new three-component polyanhydrides of sebacic acid, 1,3-bis( p -carboxyphenoxy)propane and poly(ethylene glycol) were ...
Vascular endothelial cell killing by combinations of membrane-active agents and hydrogen peroxide
(Elsevier, 1989)
Previous studies have demonstrated that a number of membrane-active agents are capable of binding to the surface of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) resulting in an augmentation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide ...
Transferrin: A potential source of iron for oxygen free radical-mediated endothelial cell injury
(Elsevier, 1992-04)
The ability of transferrin to potentiate oxygen free radical-mediated endothelial cell injury was assessed. 51Cr-labeled endothelial cells derived from rat pulmonary arteries (RPAECs) were incubated with hydrogen peroxide ...
Computed tomography of renal oncocytomas
(Elsevier, 1985)
A retrospective analysis of 5 renal oncocytomas studied with CT was performed. Oncocytomas appeared as rounded hypodense solid masses with sharp margination from the normal renal parenchyma. They showed uniform homogeneous ...
TLR3 modulates immunopathology during a Schistosoma mansoni egg-driven Th2 response in the lung
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-12)
We examined the role of TLR3 in Th2-driven pulmonary granulomatous disease, using wildtype (TLR3 +/+ ) and TLR3 gene-deficient (TLR3 −/− ) mice in a well-established model of Schistosoma mansoni egg-induced pulmonary ...
Oxygen radicals in complement and neutrophil-mediated acute lung injury
(Elsevier, 1985)
The development of experimental acute lung injury following systemic complement activation is closely related to availability of blood neutrophils. Although tissue-destructive neutrophil-derived may play a supportive role ...
