Cell proliferation assays are basic and essential techniques for assessing cellular function. Various colorimetric assays, such as MTT-, WST-1-, and resazurin-based assays, are available; however, studies directly comparing the suitability of each...
T cell activation is regulated by a balance between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation that is under the control of kinases and phosphatases. Here, we examined the role of a non-receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase, PTP-PEST, using retrov...

The aim of the present study was to determine the correlations between leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) and inflammation-related variables in human inflammatory disease. Plasma samples from 23 septic patients who had been admitted to th...
To elucidate whether leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) controls the progression of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) induced toxicity, we examined the role of LECT2 in a mouse model Almost all the C57BL/6 J (B6) mice survived for 72 h a...
