Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic flagellate in the urogenital tract of human. Innate cytotoxicity of macrophages against T. vaginalis has been recognized, but any report on the cytotoxicity of lymphokine-activated...
The present study was undertaken to assess the role of cytokines in the activation of peritoneal macrophages from Toxoplasma-infected mice. Peritoneal macrophages from Toxoplasma-infected mice (10 cysts of Beverley strain/mouse)...
Tetrahymena pyriformis is a free-living ciliate protozoan in the freshwater system. Experiments were carried out to determine whether intraperitoneal administration of T. pyriformis (GL strain) to mice activates macrophages to...
This study was aimed to observe the direct and lymphokine-activated cell mediated cytotoxic effects against Trichomonas vaginalis by mouse peritoneal macrophages. Cytotoxicity was measured as release of 3H-thymidine from prelabeled...
An in vitro culturing to examine the cyst stage of Toxoplasma gondii (ME49 strain) was investigated using murine peritoneal macrophages, and we also examined the effect of cAMP or DHFR...
The role of macrophages was observed in intranasally infected C3H/HeJ mice with trophozoites (3 x 10(5)) of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni which was a kind of free-living amoebae inducing meningoencephalitis in human...
An in vitro immune effector mechanism against the target excysted metacercariae of Paragonimus westermani was demonstrated in the rat system. Peritoneal exudate cells, mainly macrophages from normal rats, showed adherence...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Inflammation plays a key role in ischemic acute renal failure (ARF). The present study investigated the infiltration of macrophages in the early phase of ischemic ARF in mice....
Paragonimus westermani is a tissue migrating parasite in the early stage until arriving at lung, and most of the parasites spend their life spans there. Considerable immune responses including activation...
