Effects of anti-CD18 and LPS on CD14 expression on human monocytes

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology

Abstract

In this study we show that the cytokine stimulatory effect of LPS on human monocytes is enhanced by addition of monoclonal antibodies against CD18 (alpha CD18 MoAbs). Incubation of monocytes with alpha CD18 MoAbs overnight increased the CD14 expression as detected by Leu-M3, but not with My-4. These results indicate that CD18 participates in LPS-induced TNF-alpha production as well as in regulating CD14 expression on monocytes. Addition of LPS to monocytes resulted in a reduction in the CD14 expression after 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 h, but increased CD14 expression was seen after LPS stimulation overnight. By doing double labelling of the monocyte population for CD14 and CD16 it was found that the reduction in CD14 expression occurred in the CD14+/CD16+ sub-population, while the increase in CD14 expression was seen in both the CD14+/CD16- and the CD14+/CD16+ cells. alpha CD14 MoAbs that were able to inhibit LPS-induced cytokine production from monocytes (3C10 and My-4) were considerably less able to detect the increase in CD14 expression after LPS stimulation than alpha CD14 MoAbs that did not inhibit LPS-induced cytokine production (Leu-M3 and alpha CD14Serva). Our data indicate that My-4 and Leu-M3 define two populations of CD14+ cell...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.
