Identification of discrete tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cell subpopulations with distinct T-CELL suppressive activity

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

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.

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.

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.
