Pathology of parasitic infections in marine teleosts
… in plaice, and was composed mainly of cells of the macrophage series, which included epithelioid and giant cells. Fibroblasts and collagen deposition formed the periphery of the lesion which was Interpreted as a granuloma. Eggs released by this progenetic metacercaria did not produce …

In Vivo Studies of the Foreign Body Reaction to Biomedical Polymers
… regarding development of foreign body giant cells and formation of fibrous capsules was studied. The first study (chapter II) discusses the development of foreign body reaction with specific lymphocytic immunodeficient mice mainly targeting IL-4 (interleukin-4) cytokine. The experiment …

Role of Vitamin-D3 and Retinoic Acid In A Human Thp-1 Macrophage Model of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection
… in Mtb infected THPs that fused with adjacent cells to form<br />multinucleate giant cells (MNGCs). Typically MNGCs occurred over 30 days of in vitro culture and contained non-replicating persisting Mtb for as long as 60 days in culture. We propose that the RAVD mediated inhibition of …

The expression and regulation of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins in the mouse
… the syncytiotrophoblast of human placenta and in giant cells and spongiotrophoblast of rodent placenta. PSGs are encoded by seventeen genes in the mouse and ten genes in the human. Little is known about the function of this gene family, although they have been implicated in immune modulation and …

Lipid accumulation and utilization during microcycle growth of Aspergillus niger.
… 24h, conidiophores developed from the swollen giant cells when the temperature was decreased. Each stage in this microcycle conidiation was photographed and dry weight was determined. Aberrant growth forms sometimes occurred and these are described with the measures taken to attempt to minimize …

Construction, characterization, and evaluation of CLH001 as a vaccine candidate against respiratory glanders
… and was unable to induce multinucleated giant cells (MNGC) formation in both phagocytic and non-phagocytic cell lines. Intranasal (i.n.) administration of CLH001 (1.5x104 CFU) to BALB/c and NSG mice resulted in 100% survival with no detectable colonization or abnormal histopathology in …

Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
… heart disease (IHD). In addition, patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) were also investigated because of the massive inflammatory activity in affected vessels. For functional studies of the resistance arteries, sensitive myographs were used. Receptor protein levels were measured …

Nature of the root-knot resistance introduced into Lycopersicon esculentum by interspecific crosses with Lycopersicon peruvianum
… In resistant varieties a compact layer of cells was formed around the body of the nematode which may have caused the noticeable reduction in nematode development and egg-formation. Giant cells formed in resistant varieties were much smaller and fewer in number than in susceptible varieties. …

The Role of the IL-23/Th17/IL-17 Axis in the Pathophysiology of Endometriosis
… producing IL-17 to exacerbate disease. Th17 cells are also highly plastic and can transdifferentiate into T regulatory (Tregs) and Th1 cells. As a balanced Th17:Treg ratio is essential for immune homeostasis, it is necessary to define their contributions in EM, particularly under the …

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) induces human trophoblast syncytialization
… component of the human placenta is comprised of cells termed trophoblasts and the proper differentiation of these cells is pivotal for maintaining maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy. The placental syncytiotrophoblast layer is a key secretory portion of the placenta and is produced …

The pathology of tuberculosis, caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, in a herd of semi free-ranging springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis)
… by various numbers macrophages, epithelioid cells, multinucleated giant cells and lymphoplasmacells, and mild to moderate fibrous encapsulation. Necrotic lesions in the spleen, liver and kidney of the ewe were more disseminate and coagulative. A main study conducted on healthy culled animals …

Active Inhibition of T Cell Proliferation by Monocytes
… and inhibition of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In this study, it is shown that the inhibition of OKT3-dependent T cell activation correlates with metabolic activation of antigen presenting cells. In contrast, inhibition of lectin- and superantigen-mediated T cell activation may occur …

Development Of Trophoblast Lined Blood Spaces In The Mouse Placenta
Trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) have a unique ability to form pseudo-vascular spaces in the placenta. Proper development of these maternal blood spaces is crucial for successful pregnancy outcomes. Unlike blood vessels in other organs, the vascular space in placenta is line by non-endothelial TGCs. …

The pregnant mouse model of brucellosis: the pathology and protection studies comparing Brucella abortus strains 2308, 19 and RB51
… gestation revealed infection of the trophoblast giant cells and visceral yolk sac. As occurs in the cow, brucellae localized within the rough endoplasmic reticulum of the trophoblast cells. An inoculum of 10<sup>7.5</sup> strain 19, the current vaccinal strain, produced a similar lesion. Both …
