Experiments with passive transfer of immunocompetent cell and serum demonstrated suppression of tumor growth after transfer of splenocytes from animals immunized with Trypanosoma cruzi. The nonspecific constituent of antitumor effect of immunocompetent cells was detected. The previously reported oncoprotective effect of mucins 2 and 3 was not confirmed.

Commonly used adenine-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) murine models often employ C57BL/6 mice; however, this strain has inherent limitations due to its natural resistance to developing key pathological features of CKD, such as tubulointerstitial fibrosis and inflammation. There have been attempts to overcome these barriers by using multiple concentrations of adenine-supplemented diets or by performing prolonged experiments up to 20 weeks. Here, we demonstrate that SKH1 Elite mice develop clinically relevant CKD phenotypes (e.

Chronic stress is associated with a higher risk for carcinogenesis as well as age-related diseases and immune dysfunction. There is evidence showing that psychological stress can contribute to premature immunosenescence. Therefore, the question arose whether chronic exposure to catecholamine could drive immune cells into senescence.

Phagocytosis by immunocompetent cells is a key role in the biological defense mechanism and is the starting point of the reaction that leads from innate to acquired immunity. Several studies have demonstrated that some lactic acid bacteria strains activate the innate and acquired immune systems of the host. However, further investigation of the mechanism and improvement of usefulness is needed because the effect differs depending on the type and strain of lactic acid bacteria.

BTEs targeting various tumor-specific antigens, like interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 (IL13RA2) and EGFRvIII, have been developed for glioblastoma (GBM). However, limited knowledge of BTE actions derived from studies conducted in immunocompromised animal models impedes progress in the field.

If the conidia are not cleared, they secrete large quantities of hydrolytic enzymes and toxins as they grow, resulting in extensive damage to pulmonary tissue. Stromal fibroblasts are central responders to tissue damage in many organs, but their functional response to pulmonary injury caused by has not been explored.
