Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between the intensity of exercise and infectious
and neoplastic disease. One likely way by which exercise exerts its effect on cancer and …

Natural killer (NK) cells are a cell of the innate immune system that play an important role in
the early response to viral infections and tumours. Natural killer cells are cytolytic, and …

Mig, the monokine induced by interferon-γ, is a CXC chemokine active as a chemoattractant
for activated T cells. Mig is related functionally to interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), with …

Abstract Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is critical for an effective innate immune response against
infection. A combination of interleukins (ILs) derived from activated T cells (IL-2) and …

The mechanisms by which interleukin-12 (IL-12) exerts antitumor effects have been difficult
to dissect. In this study, we examined the potential contribution of the chemokines interferonγ …

A flow cytometer can quickly perform numerous quantitative, sensitive measurements on
each individual cell within a large, heterogeneous population. The modern commercially …

The natural killer group 2 membrane D (NKG2D) activating receptor plays crucial roles not
only in host defense against tumors and viral infections, but also in autoimmune diseases …

Human natural killer (NK) cells constitutively express the β‐and γ‐chains of the interleukin 2
(IL‐2)/IL‐15 receptor, and both IL‐2 and IL‐15 are able to activate NK cell proliferation and …

Although programmed cell death (PCD) and the cellular pathology of apoptosis have been
extensively studied in mammals and invertebrates, little is known regarding these important …

Acute lung injury is the main causative factor in paraquat dichloride (PQ)-induced mortality.
The innate immune system-triggered detrimental inflammatory cascade plays a vital role in …
