Apoptotic neutrophils enhance the immune response against

A xenograft is transplanted either as a vascularised graft with a surgical anastomosis between the donor and recipient blood vessels (i.e. heart, kidney and liver), or as a free

Recently, it was shown that pathogens such as Leishmania major invade PMNs, induce apoptosis and then silently enter the macrophage in a non-immuno activation fashion

A second experimental study (Paper III) compared materials titanium (osseointegrating materi- al), copper and PEEK (non osseointegrating) versus sham (natural bone healing)

All cells treated with Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid/ Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) showed a reduced percentage of viral GFP expression at different

In conclusion, the results presented here show that IgG3 enhances Ag-specific Ab responses and suggest a primary role for complement but not for FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII in

The aims of this study were to investigate the suitability of TNCC as a target for therapeutic cancer vaccination and to explore the possible immunomodulatory effects of

In Article I, we were able to show that ectopic expression of key components of a number of signaling pathways in blood cells induced the development of
