Intercalated cell function, kidney innate immunity, and urinary tract infections
Intercalated cells (ICs) in the kidney collecting duct have a versatile role in acid–base and electrolyte regulation along with the host immune defense. Located in the terminal kidney tubule segment, ICs are a...

Open AccessKidney intercalated cells are phagocytic and acidify internalized uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Kidney intercalated cells are involved in acid-base homeostasis via vacuolar ATPase expression. Here we report six human intercalated cell subtypes, including hybrid principal-intercalated cells identified fro...

Adolescents with urinary stones have elevated urine levels of inflammatory mediators
Urinary stones are increasing in children, primarily during adolescence. Although urinary stones are often viewed in the context of intermittent stone events, increasing evidence indicates that stones are a me...

Open AccessWhole Transcriptome Analysis of Renal Intercalated Cells Predicts Lipopolysaccharide Mediated Inhibition of Retinoid X Receptor alpha Function
The renal collecting duct consists of intercalated cells (ICs) and principal cells (PCs). We have previously demonstrated that collecting ducts have a role in the innate immune defense of the kidney. Transcrip...

Open AccessCharacterization of mixed lymphocyte reaction blocking antibodies (MLR-Bf) in human pregnancy
It is known that during normal pregnancy and after immunotherapy blocking antibodies are developed, these antibodies inhibit mixed lymphocyte reaction and are also anti-mitogenic in nature. Mixed lymphocyte re...
