  • Why is Cytomegalovirus not routinely tested among blood donors in several countries like Nigeria? (researchgate.net)
  • As stated in the journal article, Cytomegalovirus donor seroprevalence ranges from 40-100% across the globe. (researchgate.net)
  • The donor-specific antibodies remain one of the most important factors to consider because the presence of antibodies is associated with a high risk of graft failure. (mhmedical.com)
  • T cells not only directly attack cells infected with viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, but they also cause B cells, another type of white blood cell, to produce antibodies. (primaryimmune.org)
  • Hemolysis is most common and most severe when incompatible donor RBCs are hemolyzed by antibodies in the recipient's plasma. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Antibodies directed against white blood cell (WBC) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in otherwise compatible donor blood are one possible cause. (msdmanuals.com)
  • LMB-2 immunotoxin is added to the PBMCs in order to selectively deplete T cells from the donor PBMCs. (knowcancer.com)
  • Conditioned media from such cells were then used to stimulate human aortic endothelial cells (HAoECs) to enhance tube-like structure formation in a Matrigel assay. (hindawi.com)
  • Neither AT alone in control media nor conditioned media nor AT-stimulated cells affected numbers of endothelial cells in the plug or plug's vascularization. (hindawi.com)
  • The process of neovascularization can be influenced not only by the residual endothelial cells but also by the circulating cells. (hindawi.com)
  • Hematopoietic stem cells emerge from endothelial cells in blood vessels during embryogenesis through the endothelial to hematopoietic transition. (biorxiv.org)
  • Here, we used single-cell transcriptomics analysis to compare embryonic and post-natal endothelial cells to investigate the potential of adult vasculature to be reprogrammed in hematopoietic stem cells. (biorxiv.org)
  • There is a deficit of expression of Runx1, Tal1, Lyl1 and Cbfb in adult endothelial cells compared to their embryonic counterparts. (biorxiv.org)
  • Using a combination of gene expression profiling and gene regulatory network analysis, we found that endothelial cells from the pancreas, brain, kidney and liver appear to be the most suitable targets for cellular reprogramming into hematopoietic stem cells. (biorxiv.org)
  • There is compelling clinical and experimental evidence to suggest that natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in the recognition and eradication of tumors. (frontiersin.org)
  • However, as tumors progress, cancerous cells develop immunosuppressive mechanisms that circumvent NK cell-mediated killing, allowing for tumor escape and proliferation. (frontiersin.org)
  • However, a class of important immune-modulators is conspicuously absent: agents that utilize the power of innate immune cells to eradicate tumors. (frontiersin.org)
  • The antitumor effect provided by natural killing has been observed in tumors of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic origins and reported in diverse in vivo models and clinical series ( 8 ). (frontiersin.org)
