T cells are postulated to contribute to the injury of the oligodendrocyte‐myelin complex
underlying the demyelinating disease multiple sclerosis (MS). The apparent lack of class I or II …

Using immunohistochemical techniques, we examined major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
antigen expression on astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and macrophages-microglia …

Background: A massive hemorrhage protocol (MHP) enables rapid delivery of blood components
in a patient who is exsanguinating pending definitive hemorrhage control, but there is …

The majority of human oligodendrocytes in enriched glial cell cultures expresses class I major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. We used a 51 Cr release assay to study the …

Heat shock proteins (HSP) have been implicated in the interactions between the γδ T
lymphocyte population and target tissues. γδ T cells are found in increased numbers in multiple …

Freshly isolated human CD8 + cells can be divided into mutually exclusive subsets bearing
the phenotypes CD11b + (CD28 − ) or CD28 + (CD11b − ). We found that activation of CD8 + …

Expression of Class II major histocompatibility complex (MHQ antigens on astrocytes has been
implicated as contributing to the immune responses characteristic of chronic autoimmune …

Background Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is a common procedure, which when
prescribed inappropriately can result in adverse patient outcomes. This study sought to …

Serum from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients can cause demyelination in rat CNS explant
cultures and induce cytotoxicity to rat oligodendrocytes in culture. The interpretation of these …

Background There is a literature gap in terms of albumin utilization practices. Methods/Materials
We conducted a single‐center retrospective observational electronic audit of adult …
