PECULIARITIES OF THE FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF BLOOD EOSINOPHIL GRANULOCYTES IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS by Yu. V. Kolobovnikova, O. I. Urazova, V. V. Novitskiy

“…Eosinophils are polyfunctional leukocytes detected in excess in blood and in the focus of granulomatous inflammation in pulmonary TB.The research objective was to evaluate the adhesive properties as well as cytokine-secretory and antibacterial activity of blood eosinophils in pulmonary TB.The research has been conducted on eosinophils isolated from peripheral blood of 43 patients with freshly identified progressive destructive TB with and without eosinophilia. Using flow cytometry and ELISA, expression of CD9 and CD18 adhesion molecules on blood eosinophils has been studied along with the phagocyte and cytokine-secretory functions and activity of eosinophil granulocyte peroxidase.As a result of the research it has been established that in TB patients with eosinophilia the number of CD18-expressing eosinophils rises, whereas the amount of CD9+ remains within norm. …”

Adsorption kinetics of divalent metals on amino-functionalized carbon nanomaterial by Božo Dalmacija, Aleksandra Šućurović

“…The subject of this study was to investigate the adsorption behavior of selected divalent metals (Cu (II), Cd (II), Pb (II)) on amino-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes, MWCNT-NH2, at four selected pH values (3; 4.5, 6, 11), in order to estimate the possibility of using MWCNT-NH2 to remove ion metal from aqueous solutions at relatively low concentrations (0.01-0.1 mg L-1). …”

Myoglobin expression improves T-cell metabolism and antitumor effector function by Haifeng C Xu, Diran Herebian, Ertan Mayatepek, Dirk Brenner, Aleksandra A Pandyra, Philipp A Lang, Sascha Dietrich, Julia Werner, Georgios Theodorakis, Ichiro Katahira, Mitrajit Ghosh, Michal Gorzkiewicz, Luisa de Sousa Santos, Ann Kathrin Bergmann, Max Anstötz, Anne Busch, Carsten Berndt

“…Mb expressing or control P14+ or OT-I+ T cells were transferred in B16F10-gp33 or MC38-ova tumor-bearing mice respectively and analyzed using flow cytometry and histology. B16F10-gp33 tumor-bearing mice were additionally treated with anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor.Results Here we demonstrate that expression of the oxygen-binding protein myoglobin in T cells can boost their mitochondrial and glycolytic metabolic functions. …”
