Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics (2010)
Journal Article
Kulkarni, B. B., Tighe, P. J., Mohammed, I., Yeung, A. M., Powe, D. G., Hopkinson, A., Shanmuganathan, V. A., & Dua, H. S. (2010). Comparative transcriptional profiling of the limbal epithelial crypt demonstrates its putative stem cell niche characteristics. BMC Genomics, 11(1), Article 526. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2164-11-526

Background: The Limbal epithelial crypt (LEC) is a solid cord of cells, approximately 120 microns long. It arises from the undersurface of interpalisade rete ridges of the limbal palisades of Vogt and extends deeper into the limbal stroma parallel or...

The mannose receptor (MR) is a C-type lectin expressed by dendritic cells (DCs). We have investigated the ability of MR to recognize glycosylated allergens. Using a gene silencing strategy, we have specifically inhibited the expression of MR on human...

Elevated CD16 expression by monocytes from patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (2007)
Journal Article
Todd, I., Radford, P. M., Ziegler-Heitbrock, L., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Powell, R. J., & Tighe, P. J. (2007). Elevated CD16 expression by monocytes from patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 56(12), 4182-4188. https://doi.org/10.1002/art.23133

Objective. Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an inherited autosomal-dominant autoinflammatory condition caused by mutations in the ectodomain of the 55-kd tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily 1A. Proin... Read More about Elevated CD16 expression by monocytes from patients with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome.
