Open AccessInflammation-induced endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles modulate the cellular status of pericytes
Emerging lines of evidence have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate cell-to-cell communication by exporting encapsulated materials, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), to target cells. Endothelial cell-der...

In Vitro Observation of the Effect of Intestinal Bacteria on IgA Production by Immunocytes in the Large Intestine: Comparison Between Germ-Free and Conventional Mice
Previous studies comparing germ-free (GF) and conventional (CV) mice have shown that intestinal commensal microorganisms greatly affect the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissues and mucosal immune res...

Murine Intestinal Bacteria Modulate Antigen-Specific Cytokine Production by Intestinal Immune Cells Derived from Germ-Free TCR-Transgenic Mice
We have previously established germ-free ovalbumin- (OVA) specific T cell receptor transgenic (OVA-Tg) mice to examine the direct effects of intestinal bacteria on intestinal immune responses to dietary antige...

Prior stimulation of antigen-presenting cells with Lactobacillus regulates excessive antigen-specific cytokine responses in vitro when compared with Bacteroides
The development of allergy is related to differences in the intestinal microbiota. Therefore, it is suggested that the immune responses induced by different genera of bacteria might be regulated through adapti...
