Allelic variation of SLAM expression on CD4+CD8+ thymocytes has been proposed to play a major role in NKT cell development. In this article, this hypothesis is tested by the production of subcongenic mouse strains and Slamf1 transgenic lines. The lon

The NOD mouse is a well characterized model of type 1 diabetes that shares several of the characteristics of Ets1-deficient targeted mutant mice, viz: defects in TCR allelic exclusion, susceptibility to a lupus like disease characterized by IgM and I

Invariant NKT cells play a critical role in controlling the strength and character of adaptive immune responses. We have previously reported deficiencies in the numbers and function of NKT cells in the NOD mouse strain, which is a well-validated mode

NKT cells play a critical role in shaping the character and strength of a wide range of immune responses, including those against pathogens, tumours, allografts and autologous tissues. Because numbers of NKT cells affect clinical outcomes in a wide r

The aim of this study was to determine whether biofilms of Porphyromonas gingivalis could proteolytically degrade the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, or IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). Biofilms were grown on membrane filters on the surface

Cytokines produced in response to plaque bacteria clearly play a key role in the periodontal diseases. However, we know very little about the interactions between cytokines and periodontopathogenic bacteria. The aims of this study were to determine w

Biofilms of Streptococcus sanguis and planktonic cells of the organism were exposed to chlorhexidine gluconate and cetylpyridinium chloride, at concentrations used clinically, and survivors enumerated. S. sanguis exhibited a lower susceptibility to b

The complex highly hydrated chemical composition of the bacterial glycocalyx renders it difficult to preserve and visualize at the ultrastructural level. Polyanionic stains such as ruthenium red help to maintain some structural integrity, and other m

Methylene blue, at a concentration of 1.0 mg/ml, was able to raise the redox potential (Eh) of pre-reduced culture medium from −288 mV to −154 mV and to poise the medium at an Eh of −171 mV during 48-h incubation in an anaerobic atmosphere. Add
