Influence of Epinastine Hydrochloride, an H1-Receptor Antagonist, on the Function of Mite Allergen-Pulsed Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Dendritic Cells In Vitro and In Vivo by Ken-Zaburo Oshima, Kazuhito Asano, Ken-Ichi Kanai, Miyuki Suzuki, Harumi Suzaki

“…The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of epinastine hydrochloride (EP), the most notable histamine H1 receptor antagonists in Japan, on Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f)-pulsed mouse bone marrow-derived DCs in vitro and in vivo. EP at more than 25 ng/mL could significantly inhibit the production of IL-6, TNF-𝛼 and IL-10 from Der f-pulsed DCs, which was increased by Der f challenge in vitro. …”

Phenotype and Function of CD25-Expressing B Lymphocytes Isolated from Human Umbilical Cord Blood by Sylvie Amu, Mikael Brisslert

“…CD25-expressing B cells express a functional IL-2 receptor and high levels of CC-chemokine receptors and spontaneously produce antibodies of IgG and IgM subclass. Conclusions. CD25 expression is a common denominator of a specific immunomodulatory B-cell subset ready to proliferate upon IL-2 stimulation, possibly ready to migrate and home into the peripheral tissue for further differentiation/action.…”

ESTIMACIÓN DE LA CUBIERTA DE NIEVE EN EL NORTE DE LA PROVINCIA DEL NEUQUÉN by Marisa Cogliati, Damian Groch, Florencia Finessi

“…The validation of these methods is in continuous development, though the utilization of LANDSAT images is an imperfect source of validation this improves the results of MODIS sensor offering information with 30 m of spatial resolution. In LANDSAT imagery the snow covered area was calculated with NDSI less than 0.4 values and NDVI values above 0.1 simultaneously with surface temperature below 277 K. …”
