aluminum phosphate/inflammation

Adjuvants play an important role in stimulation of the immune response to antigens. Very little is known about the molecular mechanisms of this stimulation. Here we address this issue by studying gene expression profiles from spleen lymphocytes after in vivo immunization of mice with a clinically

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of aluminum phosphate gel and Kangfuxin on esophageal pathology and expressions of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in rats with reflux esophagitis and explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS Sixty SD rats were randomized into aluminum phosphate gel

The objectives were to characterize the kinetics of acute phase proteins (APPs) α-2 macroglobulin (A2M), α-1 acid glycoprotein (A1AGP), and fibrinogen (FIB), and injection site macroscopic and microscopic findings following intramuscular administration of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid,

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between the expression levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and proteins in tight junctions (TJs) in the esophageal mucosa of rats modeling different types of reflux esophagitis (RE), and the ability of aluminum phosphate to protect against RE-induced mucosal damage

We reviewed the three reference toxicokinetic studies commonly used to suggest innocuity of aluminum (Al)-based adjuvants. A single experimental study was carried out using isotopic 26Al (Flarend et al., 1997). This study ignored adjuvant cell capture. It was conducted over a short period of time

Epidemics and outbreaks caused by infections of several subgenotypes of EV71 and other serotypes of coxsackie A viruses have raised serious public health concerns in the Asia-Pacific region. These concerns highlight the urgent need to develop a scalable manufacturing platform for producing an

Polysaccharide-protein complex prepared from Haemophilus influenzae type b strain Eagan was evaluated for toxicity and immunogenicity in adult volunteers given intramuscular injection. Most subjects had moderate local inflammation that was maximal the day after vaccination. No lot of vaccine

Aluminum-containing adjuvants are an important component of many vaccines because they safely potentiate the immune response. The structure and properties of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, aluminum phosphate adjuvant and alum-precipitated adjuvants are presented in this review. The major antigen

The objective of our study was to assess the influence of residual renal function and other factors on epoetin requirements in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients. Fifty-one stable patients (mean age +/- SD: 52 +/- 13 years; 20 women) without recent bleeding, bone marrow disease or malignancy were

Bioavailability of isofezolac, a new non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug, with or without antacid and aspirin coadministration was investigated in 6 healthy volunteer. Each subject received, in random order, isofezolac (50 mg) alone or associated with aspirin (1 g) or phosphalugel (11 g aluminum

BACKGROUND Beside the phosphate binding effect, non-calcium non-aluminum phosphate binder, namely sevelamer hydrochloride (SH), has many other effects in dialysis patients. It can absorb many other compounds, decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level, and attenuate the progression

Adjuvants are included with many inactivated and some modified live vaccines to enhance immune responses to specific antigens. While early vaccines relied exclusively upon aluminum salts, still the major adjuvant used in human vaccines, other adjuvant products are used in veterinary medicine. In

In the past few decades, hundreds of materials have been tried as adjuvant; however, only aluminum-based adjuvants continue to be used widely in the world. Aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate and alum constitute the main forms of aluminum used as adjuvants. Among these, aluminum hydroxide is the
