Increase of cells expressing PD-L1 in bovine leukemia virus infection and enhancement of anti-viral immune responses in vitro via PD-L1 blockade

Abstract The inhibitory receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are involved in immune evasion mechanisms for several pathogens causing chronic infections.Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway restores anti-virus immune responses, with concomitant reduction in viral load.In a previous report, we showed that

eNOS-induced vascular barrier disruption in retinopathy by c-Src activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin

Background: Hypoxia and consequent production of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) promote blood vessel leakiness and edema in ocular diseases.Anti-VEGFA therapeutics may aggravate hypoxia; therefore, therapy development is needed.Methods: Oxygen-induced retinopathy was used as a model to test the role of nitric oxide (NO) in pathologica

Investigating the evolution of major Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial-interglacial cycle

A 2.5-dimensional climate model of intermediate complexity, CLIMBER-2, fully coupled with the GREMLINS 3-D thermo-mechanical ice sheet model is used to simulate the evolution of major Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial-interglacial cycle and to investigate the ice sheets responses to both insolation dynavap discount and atmosphe
