Importance of localized skin infection in tick-borne encephalitis virus transmission.
Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrates by the "bite" of infected arthropods. Events at the site of virus deposition are largely unknown despite increasing evidence that blood-sucking arthropods… Expand

Tick salivary gland extracts promote virus growth in vitro.
Saliva of blood-feeding arthropods promotes infection by the vector-borne pathogens they transmit. To investigate this phenomenon in vitro, cultures of mouse L cells were treated with a salivary… Expand

Anti‐interleukin‐8 activity of tick salivary gland extracts
Interleukin‐8 (IL‐8) is one of many mammalian chemokines (chemotactic cytokines) that direct mammalian inflammatory and immune cells to sites of injury and infection. Chemokines are produced locally… Expand

Heterogeneity in the effect of different ixodid tick species on human natural killer cell activity
Tick saliva plays a vital role in blood‐feeding, including manipulation of the host response to tick infestation. Furthermore, a diverse number of tick‐borne pathogens are transmitted to vertebrate… Expand

Effect of fast protein liquid chromatography fractionated salivary gland extracts from different ixodid tick species on interleukin-8 binding to its cell receptors.
Interleukin-8 plays a critical role in inflammatory processes. Hence generation of molecules with anti-IL-8 activity is likely to be important for successful feeding and for survival of the ticks.… Expand

Effect of Mahonia aquifolium active compounds on interleukin-8 production in the human monocytic cell line THP-1.
The effect of the crude extract and of two alkaloid fractions prepared from Mahonia aquifolium on interleukin-8 (IL-8) production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human monocytic cell line… Expand

Salivary gland extracts of partially fed Dermacentor reticulatus ticks decrease natural killer cell activity in vitro.
The salivary glands and saliva of ticks (Arachnida, Acari, Ixodida) play a vital role in blood feeding, including manipulation of the host's immune response to tick infestation. Furthermore, a… Expand

Ixodid tick salivary gland extracts inhibit production of lipopolysaccharide-induced mRNA of several different human cytokines
Extracts prepared from the salivary glands (SGE) of partially fed adult female Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks reduced the expression by human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) of… Expand

Interferon alpha-induced modulation of leukocyte cell surface antigens: immunocytofluorometric study with human leukaemia/lymphoma cell lines.
Recombinant interferon alpha enhanced the MHC class I antigen density on human leukaemia/lymphoma cell lines REH, U-937 and HL-60, as measured by immunocytofluorometry using specific monoclonal… Expand

Significance of anti-interferon-alpha2 and sICAM-1 activities in the sera of viral hepatitis B and C patients treated with human recombinant interferon-alpha2.
In this study the presence of an IFN-binding activity in the sera of patients with chronic viral hepatitis B or C treated with rIFN-alpha2 was screened by a radioimmune assay (RIA) using radiolabeled… Expand
