Collectively, these results help elucidate the crucial roles of TLRs in the immune response of housefly and provide a foundation for further understanding of innate immunity of the housefly. Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles are promising materials for enzyme immobilization, since they provide a high specific surface area for enzyme loading and…[Read more]

Protein nitration also occurs by activation of myeloperoxidase and H2O2, promoting oxidation of nitrite (NO2 – ). There is increased nitrotyrosine and myeloperoxidase in the bronchi of COPD patients, particularly in severe disease. The decreased peroxynitrite inhibitory activity found in induced sputum of COPD patients correlates with pulmonary…[Read more]
