Сравнительное действие везугена и везилюта на восстановление функций тимуса при его старении
In cultured human thymus cells, vesilute (Gly-Asp) and vesugen increased CD54 and HLA-DR expression on thymocytes, reduced their apoptosis and raised cytokine secretion by thymic epithelial cells; developer's institute, abstract gives no numbers or controls.
- Studied
- Human thymus cells (thymocytes and thymic epithelial cells) in culture
- Main outcome
- Activation antigens (CD54, HLA-DR), apoptosis and cytokine secretion
- Authors' conclusion
- Both peptides showed marked immunogeroprotective properties in human thymus cells in vitro: they raised CD54 and HLA-DR expression, weakened thymocyte apoptosis and enhanced cytokine secretion by thymic epithelial cells.
- Limitations
- In vitro only for vesilute; no numbers in the text available; authors from the developer's institute.
