    • Dexamethasone Preconditioning Improves the Response of Collagen-Induced Arthritis to Treatment with Short-Term ... 
      Peña, Corina; Gárate, David; Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Aravena, Octavio; Catalán Martina, Diego; Aguillón Gutiérrez, Juan Carlos (2013)
      Background. Pharmacologically modulated dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to restore tolerance in type II collagen- (CII-) induced arthritis (CIA). We examined the effect of dexamethasone (DXM) administration as a ...
    • Modulation of established murine collagen-induced arthritis by a single inoculation of short-term ... 
      Salazar, L.; Aravena, O.; Abello, P.; Escobar, A.; Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Rojas Colonelli, Nicole; Catalán Martina, Diego; Aguirre A., Luz María; Zúñiga, R.; Pesce Reyes, Bárbara; González, C.; Cepeda, R.; Cuchacovich Turteltaub, Miguel; Molina, M. C.; Salazar Onfray, Flavio; Delgado, M.; Toes, R. E.; Aguillón Gutiérrez, Juan Carlos (2008)
      Background: The use of regulatory or immature dendritic cells (DCs) as tools for modulating experimental rheumatoid arthritis is very recent. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-stimulated DCs have been shown to restore tolerance ...
    • Oral ulcers produced by mycophenolate mofetil in two liver transplant patients 
      Naranjo, J.; Poniachik Teller, Jaime; Cisco, D.; Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Oksenberg Reisberg, Dan; Valera M., José Miguel; Díaz Jeraldo, Juan; Rojas, J.; Cardemil Herrera, Gonzalo; Mena, S.; Castillo, J.; Rencoret, Guillermo; Godoy, J.; Escobar Delgado, Jaime; Rodríguez, J.; Leyton, Patricio; Fica Cubillos, Alberto; Toledo, C. (2007)
      Oral ulcers are a frequent problem in transplant medicine. It is important to consider infectious etiologies, exacerbated by the immunosuppressive treatment, but other etiologies are also possible, like adverse drug ...
    • Schizosaccharomyces pombe positive cofactor 4 stimulates basal transcription from TATA-containing and ... 
      Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Urbina, Fabiola; Maldonado Maldonado, Edio (BLACKWELL, 2008-06)
      The positive cofactor 4 (PC4) protein has an important role in transcriptional activation, which has been proposed to be mediated by transcription factor IIA (TFIIA) and TATA-binding protein-associated factors. To test ...
    • Short-term lipopolysaccharide stimulation indeces differentiation of murine bone marrow-derived dentritic ... 
      Salazar, Lorena; Aravena, Octavio; Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Pesce Reyes, Bárbara; Catalán Martina, Diego; Zúñiga, Roberto; Iruretagoyena, Mirentxu; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Aguillón Gutiérrez, Juan Carlos (2007)
      Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional, antigen-presenting cells, which induce and regulate T cell reactivity. DCs are crucial in innate and adaptive immune responses, and are also involved in central and peripheral tolerance ...

    • Terapias emergentes en artritis reumatoide 
      Aguillón Gutiérrez, Juan Carlos; Cruzat C., Andrea; Contreras Levicoy, Juan; Dotte G., Andrés; Pesce Reyes, Bárbara; Aravena M., Octavio; Salazar A., Lorena; Catalán Martina, Diego; Abello Cáceres, Paula; Aguirre D., Adam; Llanos M., Carolina; Cuchacovich Turteltaub, Miguel (Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2005)
      The use of biological agents such as etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab and anakinra has been recently approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All are effective controlling signs and symptoms and inhibiting ...
