Abstract: Demethylation of CpG motifs in the Foxp3 intronic element, conserved noncoding sequence 2 (CNS2), is indispensable for the stable expression of Foxp3 in regulatory T cells (Tregs). …
PMID: Front Cell Infect Microbiol. 2017 ;7:43. Epub 2017 Feb 22. PMID: 28275584 Abstract Title: Vitamin C Pretreatment Enhances the Antibacterial Effect of Cold Atmospheric Plasma. Abstract: Bacterial biofilms are three-dimensional structures containing bacterial cells enveloped in a protective polymeric matrix, which renders them highly resistant to antibiotics and the human immune system. Therefore, the …
PMID: J Immunol. 2005 Jun 15 ;174(12):7633-44. PMID: 15944264 Abstract Title: Inhibition of NF-kappa B and oxidative pathways in human dendritic cells by antioxidative vitamins generates regulatory T cells. Abstract: Dendritic cells (DCs) are central to T cell immunity, and many strategies have been used to manipulate DCs to modify immune responses. We investigated the …
