stimulate immune responses independently of T cells; however‚ zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPSs) from the capsules of some bacteria elicit potent CD4 -T-cell responses in vivo and in vitro. We demonstrated that HLA-DR on professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is required for ZPS-induced T-cell proliferation in vitro (15). Recently‚ it was shown that ZPSs are processed to lowmolecular-weight carbohydrates by a nitric oxide-mediated mechanism in endosomes and locate in the major histocompatibility

It is heartbreaking when a man and woman just can’t seem to conceive a child‚ but with the medical advances today we have something called in vitro fertilization. The process of in vitro fertilization is not guaranteed to be 100% to always work but it definitely increases the chances of a woman giving birth to a baby. Now imagine that baby is sick or not healthy. Maybe that baby has a rare disease and there is

chemical reacts with human cells and the human body. According to ProCon.org‚ in vitro testing is another option as an alternative to animal testing‚ this involves observing cells in a petri dish and recording the reactions the cells have to the chemicals being tested. In vitro testing is less expensive than animal testing. For example DNA analysis in an animal can cost about $32‚000 whereas the equivalent test for the in vitro alternative only costs $11‚000.

This was evident in human bladder cancer cells in vitro and in animal models in vivo. Sulforaphane and broccoli sprout extract were also observed to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human bladder cancer cells in vitro‚ an anti-cancer effect attributed to the sulforaphane potential in the sprouts.
