Abstract

The ability of recombinant gamma interferon (rIFN-gamma) to activate macrophages for Salmonella-killing activity was kinetically examined in relation to phagosome-lysosome fusion and H2O2 generation. Resident peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice incubated with 10(2) to 10(3) U of rIFN-gamma per ml for 12 h exhibited enhanced bactericidal activity against Salmonella typhimurium, although H2O2 generation was unaltered. In contrast, macrophages incubated with equal doses of rIFN-gamma for 48 h showed both an enhanced Salmonella-killing activity and an increased generation of H2O2. To evaluate Salmonella-killing activities of macrophages, intracellular bacteria were assayed at 0, 2, and 8 h after infection. During the initial 2 h of infection, 12-h-activated macrophages, as well as the unstimulated control macrophages, showed a decline in bacterial population at the same rate. Over the next 6 h of infection, however, the number of viable bacteria in activated macrophages remained unchanged, whereas the number of bacteria in control macrophages significantly (P less than 0.05) increased. Similar results were obtained in 48-h-activated macrophages. On the other hand, macrophages incubated with 10 to 10(3) U of rIFN-gamma exhibited e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
