Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ... -
Conventional, regulatory, and unconventional T cells in the immunologic response to helicobacter pylori
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)Infection by the gastroduodenal pathogen Helicobacter pylori elicits a complex immunologic response in the mucosa involving neutrophils, plasma cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, of which T cells are the principal ... -
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ... -
Approximate k-mer matching using fuzzy hash maps
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)We present a fuzzy technique for approximate k-mer matching that combines the speed of hashing with the sensitivity of dynamic programming. Our approach exploits the collision detection mechanism used by hash maps, unifying ... -
Implications of lymphocyte anergy to glycolipids in multiple sclerosis (MS): iNKT cells may mediate the MS infectious trigger
(2013)Immunogenic lipids may play key roles in host defenses against infection and in generating autoimmune inflammation and organ-specific damage. In multiple sclerosis (MS) there are unequivocal autoimmune features and ...
