Microevolution during Chronic Infection May Lead T. asahii to Coexist with the Host by Gen Ba, Xuelian Lv, Xin Yang, Wenling Wang, Junhong Ao, Rongya Yang

“…Compared with the primary T. asahii strain, the microevolved strain induced much lower expression of TNF-α by mice bone marrow-derived DC and had a much superior survival rate, a total of 2212 significantly differentially expressed genes were identified in the microevolved strain, and functional analysis showed significance in the downregulated transcription and metabolic process, especially the valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation pathways, which were associated with pathogenicity and virulence; hence, the results were highly consistent with the decreased immunogenicity and virulence of the microevolved strain. …”

Comparative Intracellular Cytokine Production by In Vitro Stimulated T Lymphocytes from Human Umbilical Cord Blood (HUCB) and Adult Peripheral Blood (APB) by J. A. García Vela, I. Delgado, R. Bornstein, B. Alvarez, M. C. Auray, I. Martin, F. Oña, F. Gilsanz

“…It has been suggested that there is a reduced graft‐versus‐host‐disease (GVHD) with HUCB compared to bone marrow transplantation. Since cytokine production by a cell is an indication of the cells function it is important to determinate the differences between APB and HUCB with respect to production of these soluble factors. …”
