Abrogation of glucocorticoid-mediated inhibition of T cell proliferation by the synergistic action of IL-1, IL-6, and IFN-gamma.
(American Association of Immunologists, 1991-05)Glucocorticoids (GCS) inhibit the transcription of multiple activation-associated cytokine genes. By Northern blot analysis now we demonstrate that antiproliferative concentrations of dexamethasone and 6 alpha-methylprednisolone ... -
Evidence that glucocorticosteroid-mediated immunosuppressive effects do not involve altering second messenger function.
(1991-09)The mechanism by which glucocorticosteroids (GCS) suppress proliferation of human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBML) was investigated. Using the proliferative responses to immobilized anti-CD3 mAb or mitogens ... -
237. Unified numerical treatment of hyperelastic and rubber‐like constitutive laws
(Wiley Online Library, 1991-11)A unified numerical treatment for handling various forms of constitutive relations for hyperelastic and rubber-like materials is presented. A general form for the stress and the constitutive tensors is derived. The form ... -
