Vascular abnormalities in tumors have a major impact on the immune microenvironment in tumors.The consequences of abnormal vasculature include increased hypoxia, acidosis, high intra-tumoral fluid pressure, and angiogenesis.This introduces an immunosuppressive microenvironment that alters immune cell maturation, activation, and trafficking, which s
The roles of eosinophils in antimicrobial defense remain incompletely understood.In ovalbumin-sensitized mice, eosinophils are selectively recruited to the peritoneal cavity by antigen, eotaxin, or leukotriene(LT)B4, a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolite.5-LO blockade prevents responses to both antigen and eotaxin.We examined responses to eotaxin in t
The vital role of a base station (BS) in a wireless sensor network (WSN) has made it a favorable target in hostile environments.Despite attempts to physically make the BS hidden to prying eyes, traffic analysis would give an adversary insight into the network topology and the BS whereabouts.Evidence Theory (ET) is a prominent methodology for perfor
