However, because the protein lasts only a few hours, and must be
received from a human donor, it is impractical to give this treatment except as a response to an injury.
Longo and his team also examined pancreatic cell
cultures from human donors and found that, in cells from type 1 diabetes patients, fasting also increased expression of the Ngn3 protein and accelerated insulin production.
If it doesn't work, there are alternatives like steroids or IVIG [intravenous immunoglobulin,
derived from human donor blood and used to treat autoimmune diseases].
To get around these safety concerns and to potentially maximize therapeutic effects on tumors, Alvey and colleagues took fresh, young
macrophages from human donors as well as mouse donors and directly blocked their SIRPA.
A series of biological analyses of the mice with Tim - 1 and immune cells
isolated from human donors showed that Ebola virus directly binds to T - cells through Tim - 1 protein binding and causes massive inflammation that thwarts the immune system.
If ES cells could be a source of human oocytes, scientists might be able to use them for nuclear transfer experiments rather than using
eggs from human donors, which are in short supply.
When they are given a microbiome in the form of a fecal
transplant from a human donor, however, they plump up within a day or two because the bacteria help them digest their food and develop a proper metabolism.
GigaGen captured millions - diverse DNA libraries from B cell and plasma cell
repertoires from human donors and used these libraries to manufacture recombinant IgG proteins.
