Journal ArticleDOI
Shift from an early protective Th1-type immune response to a late permissive Th2-type response in murine cysticercosis (Taenia crassiceps).
TL;DR: The sequential activation of Th1-type and Th2-type responses in murine cysticercosis would appear to favor progressively parasite reproduction, explaining the long time residence and the massive parasite intensity reached in chronic infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catechol-O-methyltransferase gene haplotypes in Mexican and Spanish patients with fibromyalgia.
Gilberto Vargas-Alarcón,José Manuel Fragoso,David Cruz-Robles,Angélica Vargas,Alfonso Vargas,José Ignacio Lao-Villadóniga,Ferran Garcia-Fructuoso,Manuel Ramos-Kuri,Fernando Davalos Hernandez,Rashidi Springall,Rafael Bojalil,Maite Vallejo,Manuel Martínez-Lavín +12 more
TL;DR: There was an association between FM and the COMT haplotype previously associated with high pain sensitivity, and there was a significant association between three SNPs and the presence of FM when compared with healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Helminth Infection Induces Alternatively Activated Macrophages Expressing High Levels of CCR5 with Low Interleukin-12 Production and Th2-Biasing Ability
Miriam Rodriguez-Sosa,Abhay R. Satoskar,Rodrigo Calderón,Lorena Gómez-García,Rafael Saavedra,Rafael Bojalil,Luis I. Terrazas +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that helminth infections can induce different macrophage populations that have Th2-biasing properties and studies using STAT6−/− mice revealed that STAT6-mediated signaling was essential for the expansion of these alternatively activated macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in circulating cytokine levels during 52 week course of treatment with SSRI for major depressive disorder
María Eugenia Hernández,Danelia Mendieta,Daniel Martinez-Fong,Frida Loría,Julia Moreno,Iris Estrada,Rafael Bojalil,Lenin Pavón +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that depressed patients only reach a partial reestablishment of HPA axis function after the long-term administration of SSRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliable Serology of Taenia solium Cysticercosis with Antigens from Cyst Vesicular Fluid: Elisa and Hemagglutination Tests
Carlos Larralde,Juan Pedro Laclette,Owen Cs,Ignacio Madrazo,Sandoval M,Rafael Bojalil,Edda Sciutto,Contreras L,Arzate J,M. L. Diaz +9 more
TL;DR: A prominent 103-Kd protein of vesicular fluid, not related to antigen B, elicited the strongest antibody response in neurocystercotic patients.
