Immunostimulatory sequences (ISS) that contain CpG motifs have been demonstrated to exert antipathogen and antitumour immunity in animal models through several mechanisms, including the activation of natural killer (NK) cells to secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and to exert lytic activity. Since
Oligonucleotides (ODN) with hexameric motifs containing central unmethylated CpG dinucleotides are immunostimulatory. Also ODN with continuous guanosines (polyG motif) show a wide range of immunological activity. Depending on the position, the chemical property of the ODN backbone and the cell type,
Immunostimulatory properties of synthetic structures mimicking the β-(1→2)-linked mannans of Candida albicans were evaluated in vitro. Contrary to earlier observations, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production was not detected after stimulation with mannotetraose in mouse macrophages. Divalent
BACKGROUND
Artemisia princeps Pampanini (Asteraceae) is used as a traditional medicine to immune function-related diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, inflammation, cancer, and ulcers.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunostimulatory effects of the hot water extract from the
BACKGROUND
Coriandrum sativum L. seed is generally used as a spice and crude drug. Although many functions of the various components in C. sativum L. seed have been reported, the immunostimulatory effect of water-soluble components in C. sativum L. seed has not been studied. In the present study, we
Acid-degradable polymers are well-suited for use as drug delivery vehicles because numerous physiological sites (e.g., intracellular endocytic pathway) are acidic. Here we report the synthesis of acid-sensitive silylated polysaccharides derived from either dextran or inulin with various alkyl
Polysaccharides from Ascophyllum nodosum (AnPS) were extracted and purified via an optimized protocol. The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: extraction time of 4.3 h, extraction temperature of 84 °C and ratio (v/w, mL/g) of extraction solvent (water) to raw material of 27. The resulting
Cheonggukjang is a Korean whole soybean paste fermented by Bacillus subtilis and regarded as a healthy food. The objective of this study was to investigate the immunostimulatory activity of polysaccharides from Cheonggukjang (PSCJ) in RAW 264.7 macrophages and an animal model. PSCJ induced mRNA
The beneficial effects of Bifidobacterium are partly due to its immunostimulatory properties. These immunostimulatory properties may be linked to the presence of unmethylated CpG motifs specific to bacterial DNA, which may induce a TH1 response by activating Toll-like receptors (TLR). Using in
Unpolished rice black vinegar (kurozu), a traditional Japanese vinegar, is considered to have beneficial health effects. Kurozu is produced via a static fermentation process involving the saccharification of rice by Aspergillus oryzae, alcohol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the
Studies have shown that cytokines can effectively treat solid tumors by a direct cytotoxic effect as well as by immunomodulation. Both human interferon gamma (IFNgamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) have been used to treat a variety of colon carcinoma cell lines and tumors in patients.
Immunochemotherapy is viewed as a promising approach for cancer therapy via combination treatment with immune-modulating drugs and chemotherapeutic drugs. A novel dual-functional immunostimulatory polymeric prodrug carrier PEG2k-Fmoc-1-MT was developed for simultaneously delivering
CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Thus, these molecules are promising therapeutic agents and vaccine adjuvants against various diseases. In this study, we developed a novel CpG ODNs delivery system based on polyethyleneimine (PEI)-functionalized boron
Original Ganoderma lucidum strain MZKI G97 isolated from Slovenian forests was cultivated in a liquid substrate based on potato dextrose and olive oil. The influences of inoculum and oxygen partial pressure in batch and fed batch cultivation in a 10-l laboratory stirred tank reactor were studied.
CD70 expressed on dendritic cells (DCs) has been shown to play a critical role in inducing effective CD8(+) T cell responses and a T(h)1 response in mice. However, it has not been extensively examined whether human primary DCs express CD70 and whether the CD70-CD27 interaction promotes naive CD4(+)
