25. Endocytosis in Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes

Hans-Jörg Heiniger, Arnold Sodergren, Jan D. Marshall

While pinocytosis (endocytosis) in lymphocytes had been qualitatively described using electron microscopy, quantitative measurements of endocytic activity and its relationship to immunological function were lacking. Understanding whether endocytosis correlates with T cell differentiation and cytotoxic function is…

26. Synthesis and Characterization of Acetalated Dextran Polymer and Microparticles with Ethanol as a Degradation Product

Kevin J. Kauffman, Clement Do, Sadhana Sharma, Matthew D. Gallovic, Eric M. Bachelder, Kristy M. Ainslie

Acetalated dextran (Ac-DEX) is a pH-sensitive, biodegradable polymer useful for drug delivery, but it degrades to methanol, which can be toxic at high concentrations or with repeated dosing. A safer analog that degrades to ethanol instead of methanol is needed for high-volume clinical applications such as multiple…

27. Immunoenhancement effects of chitosan-modified ginseng stem-leaf saponins-encapsulated cubosomes as an adjuvant

Qiu T, Gu P, Wusiman A, Ni H, Xu S, Zhang Y, Zhu T, He J, Liu Z, Hu Y, Liu J, Wang D

Conventional adjuvants such as aluminium and Freund’s adjuvants have limitations, including poor cell-mediated immunity and local toxicity. Ginseng stem-leaf saponins (GSLS) have immunomodulatory/adjuvant activity, but improved delivery systems are needed. Cubosomes are stable lipid cubic liquid crystalline…
