... and their defense against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). Methods: Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were applied to verify the changes of ZNF365 expression in nasal polyp tissues and control tissues, as well as in primary epithelial cells. ZNF365 was knocked down in human nasal mucosa epithelial cell line...

... been implicated in asthma, namely Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Haemophilus influenzae (HI) and a Prevotella sp. (PS), were tested for their effects on the secretion of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), the generation of superoxides and the production of cytokines/chemokines. Results: SA, but not HI...

...Wouter Huvenne; Peter W. Hellings; Claus Bachert Staphylococcus aureus is a common human pathogen, which is regularly part of the normal microflora found in the nose and skin. It represents a significant threat to human health, not in the least because of its capability to produce exotoxins, which...

... and superficial Staphylococcus aureus colonization. The purpose of this study was to predict the effects of peptido- glycan (PEG) from S. aureus on the induction of interleukin (IL)-4 production in AD patients. Methods: PEG was applied to barrier-disrupted abdominal mouse skin every 5 days. Twenty days later, IL...

Methods: BALB/c mice were immunized with alum-adsorbed ovalbumin (OVA) together with formalin-fixed Staphylococcus particles. OVA-specific antibody production and cytokine synthesis by spleen cells was analyzed. Airway...

Methods: DS- Nh mice fed TBT or a control diet were examined for skin changes, number of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin and serum IgE levels. To determine Th1/Th2 cytokine production by lymphocytes, lymphocytes of DS- Nh mice fed...
