Blood tests found that after participants drank chocolate milk twice a day for four weeks, they had significantly lower levels of several inflammatory biomarkers, though some markers of cellular inflammation remained unchanged.
This chapter presents a summary of the basic immunochemical techniques and describes some immunochemically detected markers of cellular behavior important in tissue engineering and biomaterial research.
By following markers of cellular identity posterior to the Wg- and Hh-expressing cells in the Drosophila dorsal embryonic epidermis, we provide evidence that neither Wg nor Hh specifies the identity of the cell types they pattern.
Because changes in gene transcription, indicated by altered levels of mRNA encoding specific peptides or proteins, are physiologically relevant markers of cellular activity, the ability to perceive these changes and to determine their magnitude accurately is of great importance.
Do endometrial polyps from pre- and post-menopausal women have similar immunohistochemical expression of oestrogen and progesterone receptors (ER, PR) and markers of cellular proliferation/apoptosis (Ki67 and Bcl-2).
In this study, salivary sulphur compounds, such as cysteine, cysteinylglycine and glutathione and some markers of cellular damage (lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate amino transferase), were measured in periodontitis patients and correlated with the periodontal probing pocket's depth.
Monos (CD14+): HLA-DR, CD11b, CD62L (markers of cellular activation).
Only indirect markers of cellular activation are available; most of them are not routinely assessed.
Especially the elevated levels of p16 and p21 are characteristic markers of cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo.
The supernatant was examined for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and 8-isoprostane (8-IP), markers of cellular injury and free radical formation, respectively.
Over the year of follow-up, IFN- production to gag persisted, responses to other HIV antigens increased, and markers of cellular activation did not change.
