  • The prevalence of sac-4 was determined for each of the common serovars, arbitrarily defined as comprising more than 15 isolates each: serovars represented by less than 15 isolates were grouped together as "other 1A" and "other 1B" serovars (see table 1). (bmj.com)
  • Four of the 9 (44.4%) CoNS isolates were cefoxitin resistant and all the 4 (100%) carried mec A gene. (who.int)
  • Homozygous inactivation of this gene may lead to background sensitive prenatal lethality and results in abnormal cytokine secretion, higher IgE levels, ocular surface and perioral skin inflammation accompanied by hair loss, and severe atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions. (jax.org)

  • Leukemia inhibitory factor via the Toll-like receptor 5 signaling pathway involves aggravation of cachexia induced by human gastric cancer-derived 85As2. (oncotarget.com)
  • 85As2 cells displayed more genetic changes compared to MKN45cl85 cells, which were related to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/5 signaling. (oncotarget.com)
  • However, in 82As2 cells, LIF production was significantly increased by stimulation with TLR5, which was suppressed by an inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1/4, which are important factors in the TLR5 signaling pathway. (oncotarget.com)
  • Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a pleiotropic, immune-modulatory cytokine produced by activated T cells, and serves as a ligand for interleukin 4 receptor. (fishersci.com)
  • The interleukin 4 receptor also binds to IL13, which may contribute to many overlapping functions of this cytokine and IL13. (fishersci.com)
  • To clarify the mechanism underlying the difference in the cachexia-inducing ability of these cells, we conducted DNA microarray analysis, focusing on cell proliferation and the production of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a cachexia-inducing factor. (oncotarget.com)
