Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractγ-Aninobutyric acid (GABA) suppresses antigen-specific immune responses in ovalbumin γ(OVA)-immunized BALB/c miceTohru Sakai, Hiroko Okada, Mitsuo Kise et al.γ-Aminobutruic acid (GABA) is known to be a ubiquitous inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that GABA modulates cardiovascular and respiratory functions. In this study, we examined the effect of GABA on antigen (Ag)-specific immune responses and elucidated the mechanisms underlying those effects in ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized BALB/c mice. OVA-specific proliferative responses were decreased in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral Immune Response in Tuberculous PleuritisPrabha C., Kripa V. Jalapathy, Sulochana D. DasTuberculous pleuritis is a good human model to understand the local and protective immune response against tuberculosis, due to the self-limitedness of the disease. Although the cellular immune response has been well characterised in tuberculous pleurisy, much less is known about the humoral immune response operating at the site of infection. To understand the humoral immune response, B cells were … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVirus Dynamics in VivoGuang Wu, Shaomin YanIn this study, we model the interaction among antibody, virus, host cell, immune cell and normal cell as random collisions, because antibody and virus are unlikely to have efficient driving systems. Then we use the model II of waiting times to analyze the collision between antibody and virus with a certain number of normal cells, and use the Monte-Carlo simulation … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,274 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Pathomechanism of Neuro-COVID-19Abir Fguirouche, Nissrine Louhab, Mohamed Chraa et al.Gathered data about SARS-CoV-2 have shown strong evidence in terms of neuroinvasive and neurotropic capacities of the virus to reach and cause eventual damage to the Central Nervous System. The spread of the virus may occur through direct and indirect ways, leading to anosmia and/or ageusia. These signs have been observed in many COVID-19 patients and are then included in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2020 · 6,544 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAcyclovir May Be Used to Treat Certain Long COVID Patients Regardless of Herpesvirus Reactivation: Case ReportDenise Stewart, Martin Oswald SavageFundamental causes of long COVID or Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) are still under investigation while it remains a significant burden to millions of patients worldwide even after a relatively mild acute Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) episode. Treatment and management programs are yet to be developed. The foremost hypotheses for underlying PASC pathophysiology include: The persistence of the virus in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2024 · 25,583 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diagnostic and Etiologic Challenge of Myocarditis in Oncologic Patients: Acute Myocarditis During Induction Treatment with All-Trans Retinoic AcidNúria Coma, Sergio Moral, Rosa Coll et al.Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium characterized by myocardial infiltration with inflammatory cells and non-ischemic myocytic necrosis. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters and also cardiac magnetic resonance or endomyocardial biopsy when possible. It occurs primarily as a result of infections that include viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi. Moreover, there are other causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 7 Jun 2021 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Body Area Network in Health Care MonitoringT. V.P. Sundararajan, A. ShanmugamProblem statement: Health monitoring, telemedicine, military, interactive entertainment and portable audio/video systems were most promising applications where WBANs can be used. However, designers of such systems face a number of challenging tasks, as they need to address often quite conflicting requirements for size, operating time, precision and reliability. Network security is very important in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) since … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 26 Oct 2010 · 6,709 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractcDNA Cloning and Characterization of the House Dust Mite Allergen Sui p 2Joshua Evans M. Bajao, John Donnie A. RamosSuidasia pontifica (Sp) is a House Dust Mite (HDM) species found in tropical urban residential areas which causes sensitization of up to 75% of allergic patients. Cloning of allergens from Sp is a significant initial step in understanding the clinical significance of this HDM species. The study describes the cloning and in silico characterization of the group 2 allergen gene … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 14 May 2020 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
