Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Unilateral Cervical Vagotomy on Murine Dendritic CellsDaniel Sanzio Gimenes da Cruz, Ana Paula Nascimento de Lima, Patrícia Benites Gonçalves da Silva et al.The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway has been demonstrated to be an important mechanism that modulates several inflammatory diseases. This modulation occurs upon activation of the vagus nerve, which modulates splenic macrophages and lymphocytes through the predominant neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine (ACh). We hypothesized that this modulation could also take place in dendritic cells, as these cells represent a link between the innate and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2015 · 6,948 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Receptor Immunomodulation in Response to Shigella Surface Antigens: An Insight for Vaccine DevelopmentAshim K. Bagchi, Rushita A. Bagchi, Dipak K. Hens et al.Shigellosis, caused by Shigella is the most common cause of bacillary dysentery. The disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate owing to its multiple drug resistance. Hence recovery from the disease would primarily depend on the development of an effective immune-modulator for strong mucosal immune response. The role of cellular immunity may be a critical factor in protection … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2015 · 6,752 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECTS OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA ON PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS (PBMCS) OF ALLERGIC PATIENTSSomaya M. El Sheikh, Mona A.M. Shalaby, Raghda A. Hafez et al.Allergic diseases represent major health burden. An allergic reaction is characterized by a disrupted T- helper 1â„T-helper 2 balance toward a preferential allergen specifically induced TH2 cytokine profile, causing allergic inflammation Probiotic bacteria have various benificial effects in many pathologic situation. Studies have shown that the bacteria present in the intestinal micro flora play a role in the TH1/TH2 balance … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Response in Bovine Lymph Nodes Stimulated with Subunits VaccinesGabriel Andres Tafur Gomez, Marlene Isabel Vargas, Joaquin Hernan Patarroyo Salcedo et al.The vaccination process belongs to the public health intervention methodologies that help prevent infections. Vaccinations performed successfully in the history of medicine reported the significance of this procedure to increase the quality of life, prevent zoonoses and improve animal production. Vaccine emergence remained without exact rules for a long time, maintaining a close relationship with pathogens. However, subunit vaccines, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,319 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDengue Virus Infection Induced NF-κB-dependent Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ProductionLien-Cheng Chen, Huey-Wen Shyu, Huan-Yao Lei et al.Dengue virus (DV) infection can cause mild dengue fever or severe dengue hemorrhage fever and dengue shock syndrome. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses and serum levels of MIF are correlated with disease severity in dengue patients. However, the mechanism that induces MIF production during … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,290 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Bit Error Rate Performance of Multi Tone Channel Utilising De-OQPSK and De-Off Set 16 QAM with Guard IntervalIbrahim A.Z. QatawnehDigital communications systems use Multi tone Channel (MC) transmission techniques with differentially encoded and differentially coherent demodulation. Today there are two principle MC application, one is for the high speed digital subscriber loop and the other is for the broadcasting of digital audio and video signals. In this study the comparison of multi carriers with OQPSK and Offset 16 QAM … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,847 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of a Topical Composition of GABA and Microbial Chondroitin Sulfate on Mental Calmness and Brain FunctionMarco RuggieroThis article describes a novel topical composition constituted by Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and microbial chondroitin sulfate. This composition, formulated by the author and manufactured in a certified facility in the United States of America, exhibits potential for non-invasive intervention in anxiety management, sleep quality enhancement and promotion of brain-related functions like meditation and nonlocal consciousness. The core component comprises GABA, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 8 Mar 2024 · 11,673 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModulation of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 Cytokines is Related to Parasitemia Control in Mice Infected by Trypanosoma cruzi and Treated with BiotherapyFabiana Nabarro Ferraz, Franciele Karina da Veiga, Denise Lessa Aleixo et al.The study of biotherapies as an intervention in experimental models of infection is a possible means to understand the effects of these highly diluted medications. The present study evaluated the immunological and parasitological effects of biotherapies that were prepared from mouse serum that was uninfected (sarcode: BSNI13cH group) and chronically infected with the Y strain of T. cruzi (nosode: BSI13cH … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,357 accessesView PDF Cite
