Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Vaccination Associated with Eliminating Inheritance Risks during Embryo Development: A ReviewRia MargianaThe process of immunization using modified DNA is essential whenever scientists desire to trigger an artificial response in the host’s body to improve immunity. The use of DNA vaccines awakens the somatic cells of the host to produce antigens that will assist the body to prepare to fight infections through preventive measures triggered by the vaccines. These biological inventions have … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 26 May 2016 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin D: The Immunologic Role and its Effect on Human PathophysiologyWilliam Whalen, Edward Werner Cook, Nitya G. ChakrabortyThere are several reasons why understanding the role of vitamin D in the immune system is worthy of widespread attention. Our knowledge of the immune system is crucial for understanding human health and disease. New ideas for vitamin D and life style in the twenty-first century build directly on our understanding of immunology-from the development of new immune-based cancer drugs … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 May 2015 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevention and Prophylaxis of Tick Bites and Tick-Borne Related DiseasesLara Garcia-Alvarez, Ana Maria Palomar, Jose Antonio OteoTicks are obligate haematophagous arthropods present all over the world able to produce human diseases. Several factors have increased the abundance, circulation and distribution of the pathogens transmitted by ticks, contributing to the change in the vector-borne diseases epidemiology in the last years. This review collects the most important measures for the prevention and prophylaxis of tick-borne diseases. The pre-exposition … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 5 Nov 2013 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical and Reproductive Pathological Changes Associated with Brucella melitensis and its Lipopolysaccharides in Female Mice Via Oral InoculationFaez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah, Lawan Adamu, Nur Hazirah et al.Brucella melitensis (B. melitensis) are Gram-negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that cause brucellosis that usually leads to abortion in sheep and goats. Three groups of equal number of 24 healthy female mice were used as animal models. They were orally inoculated with 0.4 mL of phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS-Control group), 0.4 mL of 109 cfu of B. melitensis and 0.4 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2013 · 8,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntigenic and Immunogenic Components of Haemonchus longistipes Identified by Western ImmunoblotingE. M. El Hassan, Sabry M. El-BahrThe present study aimed to examine the ways that the Haemonchus longistipes components interact with the host by investigating the components of the parasite which acted as antigens during infection and those who are capable of inducing immune response when administered as immunogens. Adult H. longistipes worms (300 females and 200 males) were obtained from the abomasums of naturally infected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJapanese Encephalitis Virus: An Emerging PathogenSneham Tiwari, Sai V.P. Chitti, Asha Mathur, Shailendra K. SaxenaJapanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a flavivirus maintained in a zoonotic cycle which involves pigs, birds and Culex species of mosquitoes causing fatal encephalitis endemic most of Asia and as far as Australia from its putative origin in Indonesia and Malaysia. The principle vector is Culex mosquito, most important being Culex tritaenorhynchus, present in greatest density in rainy season (June … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Aug 2012 · 14,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer Chemotherapy and Immune RegulationJohn Barrett, Katarina Le BlancProblem statement: Chemotherapeutic drugs have been used to treat malignancy for over 50 years, but the potential of cytotoxic agents to suppress immunity and interfere with Immunosurveillance (IS) of cancer has been largely ignored. Assuming that the immune control of the cancer had a priori already failed, the effect was not considered to have a major impact on treatment outcome. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 40,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer may be caused by the Immune ReactionRichmond T. PrehnHormesis-like effects of immunity have been documented during tumor-growth experiments in mice, quantitatively large immune-reactions have inhibited while lesser quantities of the same specific immune-reactants have been stimulatory to the growth of implanted tumors. Likewise, carcinogenesis has been inhibited by a high quantities of immune reactants, but positively stimulated by lower levels of the same reactants. One observation suggests that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Platelet and Anti-Endothelial Cell Autoantibodies in Vietnamese Infants and Children with Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverNguyen Thanh Hung, Nguyen Trong Lan, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a serious public health problem. Increased vascular permeability and thrombocytopenia are the hallmarks of DHF. The mechanisms involved in DHF/Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) pathogenesis is not fully understood. This study gives evidence of the presence of antibodies which cross-reacted with platelets, and endothelial cells in the sera of Vietnamese infants and children with DHF/DSS. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
