Three or more routes for leukocyte migration into the central nervous system.

It is possible that activated T cells activate HRPTEpiC to express adhesion molecules or to secrete inflammatory cytokines or chemokines 23 , The first possible explanation for this finding is that IL levels may reflect not only production from T cells but also from other cell types.

Second, it may be because of measurement differences between flow cytometry and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA. Our study has some limitations. Other studies using vascular endothelial cells and B cells that are also involved in alloimmunity may be necessary to reflect the full spectrum of allograft rejection. However, further investigation may be required for clarification.

Two separate in vitro experiments and an ex vivo studies were designed. Six healthy individuals aged 27—40 years were recruited for blood donation. Seventeen recipients with normal biopsy findings without any evidence of rejection comprised the normal control group NC. All patients were taking tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil combination therapy. The baseline characteristics of both groups are presented in Table 1.

All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. Written informed consent was obtained from KT recipients and healthy individuals. We collected peripheral blood for the analysis of immune cell profile and processed as follows. Isotype controls were monitored non-specific binding. The generated melting peak represented the quantity of the specific amplified product.

The crossing point was defined as the maximum of the second derivative from the fluorescence curve. Negative controls that contained all elements of the reaction mixture except from the template DNA were also included.

All samples were processed in duplicate. PBMCs 1. All cultures were set up in triplicate Fig. Briefly, 1. All reagents and buffers were used at room temperature. In the samples used for in vitro experiments, flow cytometry analysis was performed after collection of PBMCs.

In brief, cells were cultured in RPMI media. In the samples used for the ex vivo experiments, flow cytometry analysis was performed after the collection of blood. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software. Continuous variables are summarized as the median with range. Independent t-tests were used for continuous variables. A non-parametric, Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used between the control and treatment groups. Sakaguchi, S. Regulatory T cells and immune tolerance.

This reference demonstrates that DCs have to express CCR7 to migrate from the skin to peripheral lymph nodes under inflammatory conditions, and reference 13 shows that CCR7 is also indispensable for DC migration in non-inflammatory, steady-state situations.

This reference and reference 31 show that CCR7-dependent migration of antigen-carrying DCs into the draining lymph nodes is required for the induction of tolerance to ingested and inhaled antigens.
