Role of APRIL (TNFSF13) polymorphisms in the susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus in Japanese (2007)

Kawasaki, A., Tsuchiya, N., Ohashi, J., Murakami, Y., Fukazawa, T., Kusaoi, M., ...

Objectives. A polymorphism of APRIL, c.199G > A (Gly67Arg), has been reported to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Japanese. To identify the causative polymorphism, we screened...

Fas and its ligand in a general mechanism of T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity.

Hanabuchi, S, Koyanagi, M, Kawasaki, A, Shinohara, N, Matsuzawa, A, Nishimura, Y, ...

To investigate the mechanisms of T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, we estimated the involvement of apoptosis-inducing Fas molecule on the target cells and its ligand on the effector cells. When...

Synthetic lipid A analogs which have two amide-bound and two ester-bound (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoyl groups at the C-2 and -2' and C-3 and -3' positions of beta(1-6)glucosamine disaccharide mono- or...

Immunobiological activities of synthetic lipid A analogs and related compounds as compared with those of bacterial lipopolysaccharide, re-glycolipid, lipid A, and muramyl dipeptide.

Kotani, S, Takada, H, Tsujimoto, M, Ogawa, T, Mori, Y, Sakuta, M, ...

Thirteen acylated and phosphorylated derivatives of beta-1,6-linked glucosamine disaccharide (lipid A analogs), which were synthesized after the structural model of Salmonella-type lipid A, and seven...

Perforin-secreting killer cell infiltration and expression of a 65-kD heat-shock protein in aortic tissue of patients with Takayasu's arteritis.

Seko, Y, Minota, S, Kawasaki, A, Shinkai, Y, Maeda, K, Yagita, H, ...

Cell-mediated autoimmunity has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular cell injury in Takayasu's arteritis. To clarify the immunological mechanisms involved, we examined the...

Chemical and biological properties of a peptidoglycan isolated from Treponema pallidum kazan.

Umemoto, T, Ota, T, Sagawa, H, Kato, K, Takada, H, Tsujimoto, M, ...

A peptidoglycan layer of Treponema pallidum kazan was isolated by solubilization of whole cells with 1% warm sodium dodecyl sulfate and subsequent digestion of an insoluble residue with proteases....

Metabolic and cellular alterations underlying the exaggerated renal prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis in ureter obstruction in rabbits. Inflammatory response involving fibroblasts and mononuclear cells.

Okegawa, T, Jonas, P E, DeSchryver, K, Kawasaki, A, Needleman, P

Unilateral ureter obstruction in rabbits produced profound changes in endogenous and exogenous renal arachidonic acid metabolism. Isolated perfused hydronephrotic kidneys (removed after 3 or 10 d of...

Immunological activities of Capnocytophaga cellular components.

Murayama, Y, Muranishi, K, Okada, H, Kato, K, Kotani, S, Takada, H, ...

Whole cells of a clinical isolate (strain S-3) of the genus Capnocytophaga were divided into cell envelope (CE) and cytoplasm (CP) fractions by mechanical disintegration followed by differential...
