Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLEUKOTRIENE C4 SYNTHASE AND LEUKOTRIENE RECEPTOR-1 GENES POLYMORPHISM AMONG ATOPIC ASTHMATIC PATIENTSHeba M. Kadry, Amal H. Atta, Mostafa K. Sultan, Nagwa A. El-BazAsthma is a complex polygenic disease in which Cysteinyl Leukotrienes (Cys-LTs) are a potential risk factors causing airway inflammation and remodeling, which are characteristics of asthma. The polymorphisms in the leukotriene C4 synthase -444A/C and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor1 927 T/C genes has been implicated in susceptibility to asthma. The objective of this study was to analyse two different polymorphisms, LTC4S-444 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2014 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Gc-Macrophage Activating Factor in Human Neurons; Implications for Treatment of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeRodney Smith, Lynda Thyer, Emma Ward et al.Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease of multifactorial aetiology characterized by immune system dysfunction, widespread inflammation, multisystemic neuropathology and persistent pain. Given the central role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of the syndrome, we studied the effects of a potent modulator of the immune system in in vitro and in vivo models that could help … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 10,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Fibrinogen Concentration in the Plasma of Dogs: A Comparison Between Heat Precipitation and Modified Thrombin Clotting Time MethodLabrini V. Athanasiou, Theodoros A. Petanides, Manolis K. Chatzis, Manolis N. SaridomichelakisFibrinogen is a glycoprotein that plays a key role in blood clotting and is also a non-specific indicator of inflammation. The most widely used techniques for measuring plasma fibrinogen concentration include heat precipitation (Millar’s technique) and modified thrombin clotting time (Clauss method). Both techniques have been automated in a haematology analyzer (QBC-Vet Autoreader®, IDEXX; Millar’s technique) and in a newly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 May 2013 · 7,449 accessesView PDFCite
