Weekly injections of cyclophosphamide (Cy) at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight prevented IgM to IgG class switch of serum anti-DNA antibodies and also immunoglobulin secreting cells in the spleen of...
Suppression of spontaneous murine lupus by inducing graft-versus-host reaction with CD8+ cells.
Ito, S, Ueno, M, Nishi, S, Arakawa, M, Fujiwara, M
Splenic CD8+ (Lyt-2+) cells of C57BL/6 mice were injected into semiallogeneic (NZB x BXSB)F1 mice, which spontaneously develop lupus nephritis, in order to examine whether the disease was somehow...
Fujiwara, M, Kariyone, A, Shiraki, M
In order to clarify role of lpr gene of MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr (MRL/l) mice in the development of immunological abnormalities and lupus nephritis, F2 mice were obtained from crosses of (MRL/1 X AKR) F1 mice...
Naturally occurring antibodies to poly(ADP-ribose) in autoimmune MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr mice.
The presence of antibodies to poly(ADP-ribose) was demonstrated in the sera of MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr (MRL/l) mice by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibody to poly(ADP-ribose) was strongly...
CTLA-4 (CD152) expression in peripheral blood T cells in Kawasaki disease
MATSUBARA, T, ANWAR, R, FUJIWARA, M, ICHIYAMA, T, FURUKAWA, S
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness of early childhood caused by vasculitis. Whether or not peripheral blood T cells are activated in acute KD remains uncertain, as some reports have...
Decreased interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-producing T cells in patients with acute Kawasaki disease
Matsubara, T, Katayama, K, Matsuoka, T, Fujiwara, M, Koga, M, Furukawa, S
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness of early childhood, in which the activation of monocytes/macrophages plays a central role in the development of vasculitis during the acute stage of...
CD14+CD16+ monocyte subpopulation in Kawasaki disease
Katayama, K, Matsubara, T, Fujiwara, M, Koga, M, Furukawa, S
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness caused by vasculitis, occurring in early childhood. We have demonstrated that the activation of monocytes/macrophages plays a central role during...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor on vascular smooth muscle of dog cerebral arteries.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) had a relaxant effect on dog cerebral arteries which was blocked only by picrotoxin, a known antagonist of GABA receptors. Other agents, adrenoceptor and ganglion...
