Sentences with phrase «effector sites»

[13] Effector sites include areas such as the lamina propria, exocrine gland stroma, and surface epithelia, where mature lymphocytes perform their functions, such as releasing cytokines and secreting antibodies.

When considering the anatomy of the mucosal immune system, sites can be defined as either inductive or effector sites.

The HZI will develop a vaccination protocol for mucosal administration based on three novel strategies: (i) development and optimization of a vaccination protocol in which parenterally - primed T and B cells are subsequently pulled into the mucosa by the local delivery of the cognate antigen to the requested effector site, (ii) testing the co-administration of antigens with novel mucosal adjuvants using different mucosal immunisation routes and schedules, and (iii) testing various nanoparticles co-administered with different immunomodulators for their ability to generate both systemic and mucosal immune responses following transcutaneous / trans - follicular vaccination.

We suggest three novel strategies: (i) Develop and optimise a prime - pull protocol in which parenterally - primed T and B cells are subsequently pulled into the mucosa by the local delivery of the cognate antigen to the requested effector site.

Not exact matches

Site - specific administration of chemokines (CXCL9 - 10) restored homing signals that were diminished in septic hosts to permit recruitment of effector cells to the skin.

In this pathway, dopamine - and an adenosine 3 ′, 5 ′ - monophosphate (cAMP)-- regulated phospho - protein of 32 kilodaltons (DARPP - 32) is phosphorylated or dephosphorylated at three sites, in a pattern predicted to cause a synergistic inhibition of protein phosphatase — 1 and concomitant regulation of its downstream effector proteins glycogen synthesis kinase — 3 (GSK - 3), cAMP response element — binding protein (CREB), and c - Fos.

These effector proteins and other small molecules in their spit cause the root cell to forego normal processes and create a huge feeding site called a syncytium.

In a second scheme, transcription activator - like effector nucleases (TALENs) were targeted to sequences near the translation - initiation site of CCHa2 - R to create a frame - shift mutation in the CCHa2 - R coding region [24].
