Do antibodies attenuate the capacity of dendritic cells to stimulate HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes?
Our ex vivo and in vitro observations provide the first evidence that IgG opsonization of HIV is associated with a decreased CTL-stimulatory capacity of DCs.
This study is the first to compare osteoblast differentiation in vitro and femoral bone from SHR and W rats. Our results demonstrated that young SHR (4weeks old), without hypertension, but with genetic predisposition, had alterations in osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs and in the femoral bone when compared with their progenitor strain, W.
