Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of interleukin-6 promoter −597/−572/−174genotype on interleukin-6 production after lipopolysaccharide stimulation
TL;DR: Evidence is found for the IL‐6 −597/−572/−174genotype to affectIL‐6 synthesis, i.e. lower levels of IL‐ 6 protein upon LPS‐stimulation in GGG/GGG individuals, and determination of the genetic risk profiles might be promising to improve the transplant outcome in the individual patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for de novo synthesis of cytokines and chemokines in platelet concentrates.
D. Hartwig,Christoph Härtel,Holger Hennig,Michael Müller-Steinhardt,Peter Schlenke,Harald Klüter +5 more
TL;DR: The maximum white blood cell content tolerable to avoid the accumulation of cytokines was found and whether these cytokines originate from degranulating leucocytes or de novo synthesis during storage was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interleukin-6 -174 promoter polymorphism is associated with extrapulmonary bacterial dissemination in Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
Bernhard Schaaf,Jan Rupp,Michael Müller-Steinhardt,Jan Kruse,Florian Boehmke,Matthias Maass,Peter Zabel,Klaus Dalhoff +7 more
TL;DR: The IL- 6 GG genotype, encoding for enhanced IL-6 secretion on bacterial stimuli, reduces the risk of bacterial spread to extrapulmonary sites in pneumococcal infection, possibly due to a more effective clearance of the pathogen from the blood and the respiratory tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines in Platelet Concentrates Prepared from Pooled Buffy Coats
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cytokines are detectable in a variety of blood products immediately after preparation, and initial values of cytokines did not increase during storage of BC‐PC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid screening of granulocyte antibodies with a novel assay: flow cytometric granulocyte immunofluorescence test.
Xuan Duc Nguyen,Brigitte K. Flesch,Ulrich J. Sachs,Hartmut Kroll,Harald Klüter,Michael Müller-Steinhardt +5 more
TL;DR: The novel flow cytometric GIFT (Flow‐GIFT) method for a rapid detection of granulocyte antibodies by flow cytometry analysis is described.
