Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAqueous Extract of Inonotus bliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) Significantly Inhibits the Growth of Sarcoma 180 by Inducing ApoptosisCaifa Chen, Weifa Zheng, Xiaowen Gao et al.Inonotus obliquus (Fr.) Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) has been widely used as a folk medicine to treat various cancers in Russia, Poland and most of Baltic countries for literally more than four centuries. However, in spite of its therapeutic significance for cancers, this fungus has not been studied systematically for the mechanisms of antitumor activity. In this study, we report the effects … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 21,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Evidence for Peptide-Carbohydrate Mimicry with a Group A Streptococcus Polysaccharide-Mimetic PeptideSilvia Borrelli, Rehana B. Hossany, Susan Findlay, B. Mario PintoThe immunogenicity of a peptide-protein conjugate developed by linking a peptide mimic DRPVPY of the Group A Streptococcus cell-wall polysaccharide (GAS-CWPS), to tetanus toxoid (TT) was examined. BALB/c mice were immunized three times subcutaneously following homologous or heterologous prime/boost strategies at 4- or 6- week intervals in two different experiments. DRPVPY-TT, CWPS-TT, heat-killed, pepsin-treated GAS bacteria (with exposed polysaccharide) and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Turmimax® an in vivo and in vitro StudyFiroz Hussain H M., Nanjundaiah S., Sadashiva Channangihalli Thimmegowda et al.The main objective of this study was to investigate the in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of the Turmimax® bio-enhanced turmeric formulation. By comparing the relative fluorescence intensities of the interleukins IL-8 (Interleukin-8) and IL-12 (Interleukin-12) cytokines in stimulated murine Raw 264.7 macrophages, Turmimax® was evaluated for its anti-inflammatory in vitro efficacy. Turmimax® was administered orally in two doses, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2022 · 6,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation Triggered Phenotypic Changes of Regulatory T CellsLantao Liu, Yan Peng, Deqin Zhang, Dongsheng NiuIonizing radiation disrupts the immune balance easily. Regulatory T (Treg) cells directly affect the immune balance after radiation exposure. Meanwhile, the present study is to investigate the survival ability and phenotypic changes of Treg cells induced by 60Co γ-rays in order to expand the understanding on how Treg cells modulated by radiation. Mice lymphocytes were isolated from thymus and spleen … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2022 · 5,830 accessesView PDFCite
