Activation of human invariant natural killer T cells with a thioglycoside analogue of ?-galactosylceramide
(2011)Activation of CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells with the glycolipid ?-galactosylceramide (?-GalCer) confers protection against disease in murine models, however, clinical trials in humans have had limited impact. ... -
Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood leukocytes from cattle infected with Mycobacterium bovis reveals suppression of host immune genes
(2011)Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a pathological infection with significant economic impact. Recent studies have highlighted the role of functional genomics to better ... -
Network analysis of adipose tissue gene expression highlights altered metabolic and regulatory transcriptomic activity in high-fat-diet-fed IL-1RI knockout mice
(2013)A subacute inflammatory phenotype is implicated in the pathology of insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β are produced by innate immune cells, including macrophages, and mediate ... -
The Preservation of in vivo Phosphorylated and Activated Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3) in Isolated Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria following Administration of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA aka Ecstasy) to Rats/Mice
(2012)Previous researchers have demonstrated that 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) induced hyperthermia, in skeletal muscle of animals, is uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) dependent. In light of our investigations that in ...
