Identification of the ovine mannose receptor and its possible role in Visna/Maedi virus infection
This study aims to characterize the mannose receptor (MR) gene in sheep and its role in ovine visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection. The deduced amino acid sequence of ovine MR was compatible with a transmembrane protein having ... -
Lentinula edodes β-glucan enriched diet induces pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophages in rabbit
β-glucans exhibited in cell walls of several pathogens as bacteria or fungi are sensed by pathogen recognition receptors such as scavenger receptors present in antigen presenting cells, i.e., macrophages. β-glucans obtained ... -
Maraviroc prevents hcc development by suppressing macrophages and the liver progenitor cell response in a murine chronic liver disease model
Maraviroc (MVC), a CCR5 antagonist, reduces liver fibrosis, injury and tumour burden in mice fed a hepatocarcinogenic diet, suggesting it has potential as a cancer therapeutic. We investigated the effect of MVC on liver ... -
