A functional polymorphism in IL-36β modulates macrophage antifungal effector fu...
Gonçalves, Samuel M.; Leite, L.; de Vasconcelos, P.; Pereira, I.; Dewi, I. M. W.; Mercier, T.; Aerts, R.; Ligeiro, D.; Mendes, F.; Freitas, F.Background: Genetic predisposition plays a major role in the development of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The risk and course of IPA vary significantly among patients, yet continuously new genetic mechanisms that influence individual antifungal immune responses are being discovered. While genetic variability in interleukin (IL)-1 family cytokines is recognized as an important cause of disease suscepti...
REDUCING THE GAS PRESSURE DROP IN SUCTION MUFFLERS OF HERMETIC RECIPROCATING CO...
Lacerda, J. F.; Gasche, J. L. [UNESP]; Parise, J. F. L. [UNESP]; Arantes, D. M. [UNESP]; INT INST REFRIGERATMade available in DSpace on 2020-12-10T16:36:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-01-01; Tecumseh do Brasil; The suction muffler of hermetic reciprocating compressors is installed in order to attenuate the noise generated by the gas pulsation of the flow through the suction valve. However, the installation of the suction muffler affects the operation of the compressor owing to gas pressure ...
Long-term immune reconstitution of naive and memory t cell pools after haploide...
Azevedo, R. I.; Soares, M. V.; Albuquerque, A. S.; Tendeiro, R.; Soares, R. S.; Martins, M.; Ligeiro, D.; Victorino, R. M.; Lacerda, J. F.; Sousa, A. E.Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) constitutes an important alternative for patients lacking a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor. Although the use of haploidentical donors is increasingly common, the long-term impact of generating a donor-derived immune system in the context of an HLA-mismatched thymic environment remains poorly characterized. We performed an in-depth assess...
