SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online
(52,375 recursos)
SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) is an electronic library covering a selected collection of Brazilian scientific journals. The objective of the site is to implement an electronic virtual library, providing full access to a collection of serial titles, a collection of issues from individual serial titles, as well as to the full text of articles. The project envisages the development of a common methodology for the preparation, storage, dissemination and evaluation of scientific literature in electronic format.

Cytokines in the modulation of eosinophilia - Faccioli,Lúcia H; Vargaftig,BB; Medeiros,Alexandra I; Malheiros,Adriana
In this review we discuss our recently results showing interleukin 5 (IL-5) involvement in eosinophil migration and in the maintenance of eosinophilia in blood, bone marrow, lung and peritoneal cavity, in a visceral larva migrans syndrome model using guinea-pigs infected with Toxocara canis.

Modulation by IL-10 of antigen-induced allergic responses in mice - Zuany-Amorim,Claudia; Vargaftig,B Boris; Pretolani,Marina
Over the last few years, we examined the anti-allergic properties of interleukin (IL)-10 in different models of inflammation in the mouse, as well as against IgE-dependent activation of mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC).

Role of the cyclosporin-sensitive transcription factor NFAT1 in the allergic response - Viola,João PB; Rao,Anjana
Proteins belonging to the NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) family of transcription factors are expressed in most immune cell types, and play a central role in the transcription of cytokine genes, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and GM-CSF.

Expression and function of b1 integrins on human eosinophils - Seminario,Maria-Cristina; Bochner,Bruce S
One possible mechanism for selective eosinophil recruitment involves the alpha4beta 1 (VLA-4) integrin which is not expressed on neutrophils.

Human eosinophil-lymphocyte interactions - Weller,Peter F; Lim,Kaiser
While the eosinophil's effector functions clearly can contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, the evolutionary benefit to having eosinophils as a distinct class of leukocytes is not clear, especially if one must reconsider the nominally beneficial role of eosinophils in parasite host defense.

Effect of selective phosphodiesterase inhibitors on the rat eosinophil chemotactic response in vitro - Alves,Alessandra C; Pires,Ana Lucia A; Lagente,Vincent; Cordeiro,Renato SB; Martins,Marco A; Silva,Patricia MR e
The effect of the analogues N6-2'-O-dibutyryladenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (Bt2 cyclic AMP) and N2-2'-O- dibutyrylguanosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (Bt2 cyclic GMP) has also been determined.
