Mediator release was studied in rat peritoneal mast cells sensitized with a mouse monoclonal anti-DNP IgE antibody, and stimulated with DNP-ornithine covalently attached to radio-derivatized polystyrene petri dishes. Cells releasing serotonin at maximal rates were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Generalized exocytosis of granules could be observed, suggesting non-directional release of mediators, and non-compartmentalized action of second messengers in mast cells stimulated with polystyrene-bound DNP. Stimulation of sensitized mast cells by DNP covalently bound to the rigid polystyrene surface is consistent with extrinsic mechanisms proposed for Fc(epsilon)RI receptor action, and suggests that internalization of Fc(epsilon)RI is not needed for triggering cell degranulation.

Tigilanol tiglate (EBC-46) is a selective modulator of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms that is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the treatment of mast cell tumors in canines with up to an 88% cure rate. Recently, it has been FDA approved for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas in humans. The role of EBC-46 and, especially, its analogs in efforts to eradicate HIV, treat neurological and cardiovascular disorders, or enhance antigen density in antigen-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-T cell and chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer cell immunotherapies has not been reported.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a valuable tool for investigating cellular heterogeneity in diseases such as equine asthma (EA). This study evaluates the HIVE™ scRNA-seq method, a pico-well-based technology, for processing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from horses with EA. The HIVE method offers practical advantages, including compatibility with both field and clinical settings, as well as a gentle workflow suited for handling sensitive cells.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of exercise training on the bone marrow immune microenvironment and on minimal residual disease of multiple myeloma patients who completed first-line induction treatment. Eight multiple myeloma patients underwent 5 months of exercise training along with standard medical treatment. Eight age- and sex-matched patients who received medical treatment only, served as controls.

Cannabinoid compounds have potential as treatments for a variety of conditions, with cannabigerol (CBG) being known for its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the effects of CBG in a cellular model of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD). In the cellular model, we confirmed the cytotoxicity of CBG and downregulated the expression of inflammatory markers , , , and ( < 0.
