The impact of HIV exposure status and maternal feeding practice on the concentration of SLPI and E/tr-2 protein in infant saliva and maternal breast milk
… include secretory leukocyte protease inhibitors (SLPI) and Elafin/trappin-2 (E/tr-2). At physiological concentrations SLPI and E/tr-2 have been shown to inhibit in vitro HIV replication in human monocytes and epithelial cells, respectively. Study Aims 1) To determine the impact of HIV infection/ …

Fraternal Leadership: Differences in Leadership Practices among Four Governing Greek Councils
… the Student Leadership Practices Inventory (SLPI, Kouzes & Posner, 2006) to affiliated members of fraternities and sororities enrolled at a major research institution located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. This study was designed specifically to address the following …

Differential Stimulation of Monocytes to Secrete Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor by Lipopolysaccharide of Periodontal Pathogens
… cells. Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI) is a single-chain serine protease inhibitor secreted from secretary and inflammatory cells that protects tissue from damage caused by the inflammatory response. The present study examined the interaction of LPS prepared from periodontal …

Characterizing RNA translocation in the parasitic weed Cuscuta pentagona
… (SlGAI) and Cathepsin D Protease Inhibitor (SlPI) can be traced over 30-cm of parasite stem. SlPI was abundant in the C. pentagona stem, but the number of copies decreased substantially within the first eight hours post detachment. Additional studies of mobile RNAs from Arabidopsis, …

Impact of long-acting contraceptives on female genital tract cytokine profiles in a randomised controlled trial
… at three months, TNF-⍺, IP-10, MIP-3⍺ and SLPI were significantly raised relative to baseline. No significant changes in immune mediator concentrations were detected following DMPA-IM initiation but the trend was towards a decrease, particularly for SLPI. After adjusting for potential …

Characterizing potential secretion components that increase secretion of recombinant proteins in Pichia Pastoris
… mutant ah2 for its ability to secrete HRP, SLPI, and CALB lipase proteins, as well as using transmission electron microscopy to observe the effect of the pREMI-Z mutation on the morphology. Analysis of the Ah2 protein resulted in a comparative β-galactosidase secretion study, as well as a …

Characterization of components that increase secretion of recombinant proteins in pichia pastoris
… characterized for its ability to secrete HRP and SLPI proteins and the effect of the pREMI-Z mutation on the morphology of the cells using transmission electron microscopy. An examination into the AH3 protein yielded a comparative B-galactosidase secretion study between the ah3 mutant and ah3 …

Modulation of dendritic cells by human neutrophil elastase and its inhibitors in pulmonary inflammation
… elafin, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and α1-protease inhibitor (α1-PI), were also used to infect DCs in vitro, to further study the effect of these NE-inhibitors on DCs in isolation. These findings suggest that purified NE and NE-containing lung inflammatory secretions are …
