Journal Article
Identification of discrete tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cell subpopulations with distinct T-CELL suppressive activity
Kiavash Movahedi,Martin Guiliams,Jan Van den Bossche,Rafael Van den Bergh,Conny Gysemans,Alain Beschin,Patrick De Baetselier,Jo A. Van Ginderachter +7 more
TL;DR: This work identified 2 distinct MDSC subfractions with clear morphologic, molecular, and functional differences, and refined tumor-induced MDSCs functions by uncovering mechanistically distinct M DSC subpopulations, potentially relevant for MDSc-targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of discrete tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cell subpopulations with distinct T cell–suppressive activity
Kiavash Movahedi,Martin Guilliams,Jan Van den Bossche,Rafael Van den Bergh,Conny Gysemans,Alain Beschin,Patrick De Baetselier,Jo A. Van Ginderachter +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified two distinct MDSC subfractions with clear morphologic, molecular, and functional differences, i.e., low-density polymorphonuclear cells (PMN-MDSCs) and high-density neutrophils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arginase-1 and Ym1 are markers for murine, but not human, alternatively activated myeloid cells.
TL;DR: Comparing the effects of IL-13 on the transcriptional profile of human monocytes with studies analyzing the profile induced by IL-4 in murine macrophages notice some differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macrophage galactose-type C-type lectins as novel markers for alternatively activated macrophages elicited by parasitic infections and allergic airway inflammation.
Geert Raes,Lea Brys,Bhola K. Dahal,Jef Brandt,Johan Grooten,Frank Brombacher,Guido Vanham,Wim Noël,Pieter Bogaert,Tom Boonefaes,Anne Kindt,Rafael Van den Bergh,Pieter J. M. Leenen,Patrick De Baetselier,Gholamreza Hassanzadeh Ghassabeh +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that expression of the two members of the mouse macrophage galactose‐type C‐type lectin gene family (mMGL1 and mMGL2) is induced in diverse populations of aaMF, including peritoneal macrophages elicited during infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma Brucei brucei or the Helminth Taenia crassiceps and alveolar macrophAGE elicited in a mouse model of allergic
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of home-based voluntary HIV testing in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Kalpana Sabapathy,Rafael Van den Bergh,Sarah Fidler,Richard Derek Hayes,Nathan Ford,Nathan Ford +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the acceptability of home-based voluntary counseling and testing for HIV in sub-Saharan Africa with some encouraging results is conducted.
