It is clear that absorption of anti-live V . cholerae antiserum with boiled cells of V. cholerae removes the antisomatic antibody and its protective activity, but the absorption does not remove antiflagellar activity. Thus, the protective effect of the anti-live V . cholerae antiserum correlates wit ...

Nlrp3-inflammasome activation in non-myeloid- derived cells aggravates diabetic nephropathy
... To evaluate the relevance of the inflammasome in diabetic nephropathy we analyzed diabetic mice of various ages. Levels of (cleaved) IL-1b and IL-18 were low in plasma (Figure 1a) and hardly detectable in renal cortex extracts (Figure 1b and c) of 4-week-old db/db mice, but significantly increased i ...
