Supernatants of human blood mononuclear cells stimulated with PHA, contained factors inhibitory for in vitro migration of human lymphocytes and granulocytes. After ultrafiltration of supernatants through Amicon PM-10 some stimulatory activity appeared in the bottom fraction. Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography of supernatants showed three zones of lymphocyte migration inhibitory activity: In the range of molecules of m.w. 35 000-90 000, heat-stable; Factors of m.w. from several to from ten to twenty thousand daltons, heat unstable; Low molecular weight substances, resistant to heat. The possible relationship of these factors to lymphotoxins, soluble lymphocyte T receptors for SRBC, lymphocyte chemotactic factor and prostaglandins is discussed. Ampicillin in doses of 10, 20 and 50 micrograms/ml potentiated both the development of lymphocyte migration inhibitory factors and the production of factors with an opposing effect (stimulating lymphocyte migration).

Background: Immune cells within tumor tissues play important roles in remodeling the tumor microenvironment, thus affecting tumor progression and the therapeutic response. The current study was designed to identify key markers of plasma cells and explore their role in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
Methods: We utilized single-cell sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify key immune cell types within HGSOC tissues and to extract related markers via the Seurat package.

Background: Fibrotic skin disease represents a major global healthcare burden, characterized by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components. The immune cells are postulated to exert a pivotal role in the development of fibrotic skin disease. Single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to explore the composition and functionality of immune cells present in fibrotic skin diseases.

Introduction: Chemokines and their receptors are essential for leukocyte migration to several tissues, including human milk. Here, we evaluated the homing of T and B lymphocyte subsets to breast milk in response to ongoing respiratory infections in the nursing infant.
Methods: Blood and mature milk were collected from healthy mothers of nurslings with respiratory infections (Group I) and from healthy mothers of healthy nurslings (Group C).

To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) confer ferroptosis resistance and CD8(+) T cell inhibition in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). By the intravenous injection of LLC cells into the tail vein, a LUAD mouse model was created. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulated neutrophils to facilitate NETs formation and combined with NETs inhibitor DNase I to explore NETs mechanism on LLC cell proliferation, migration, ferroptosis resistance, and CD8(+) T cell activity.
