Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect 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 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the keywordsWhat You See Is What You GetSaadettin Sel, Mark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtThe recognition and neutralization of invading pathogens by the human immune system is designed to protect the organism. Sometimes, the checks and balances in place securing a tightly controlled immune surveillance of privileged sites are lifted in order to ensure survival of the individual at the cost of losing the functionality of an organ. Here, we use choice areas to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsStaphylococcus aureus Vaccine Candidate from MRSA Isolates: The Prospect of a Multivalent VaccineNovra Arya Sandi, Tenri Ashari Wanahari, Isabel MacPhillamy et al.Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause various infections in humans and animals throughout the world. The increasing incidence of S. aureus infection, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is complicated by the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Thus, it requires new strategies to prevent wider scale of its incidence occurring. Preventative methods against infectious diseases through vaccination can prevent, control and reduce … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2015 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlacebo-Driven Clinical Trials of Transfer Point Glucan #300 in Children with Chronic Respiratory Problems: Antibody ProductionVetvicka Vaclav, Richter Josef, Svozil Vladimir et al.The role of glucan in stimulation of immune reactions has been well-established. In this report, we focused on the antibody production in glucan-supplemented children with chronic respiratory problems. We measured the levels of salivary IgA, IgM and IgG in 40 children aged 8-12 years and evaluated the effects of 100 mg d-1 oral dose of glucan. We found a significant … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2013 · 10,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMelanoma-Associated Suppression of the Dendritic Cell Lines DC2.4 and JawsiiKristian Michael Hargadon, Yonathan Tarekegne Ararso, Osric Anthony Forrest, Chad Mason HarteDendritic cells function as potent regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity to tumors and the regulatory activities of these cells are tightly linked to their maturation and activation status. Despite the critical role played by dendritic cells in the induction of anti-tumor immune responses, the number of dendritic cells that can be isolated from experimental animals is limiting and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2012 · 9,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRat Cardiomyocytes Express a Classical Epithelial Beta-DefensinAnnika Linde, Gerald H. Lushington, Frank Blecha, Tonatiuh MelgarejoBeta-defensins (BDs) are classical epithelial antimicrobial peptides of immediate importance in innate host defense. Since recent studies have suggested that certain BDs are also expressed in non-traditional tissues, including whole heart homogenate, and because effector molecules of innate immunity and inflammation can influence the development of certain cardiovascular disease processes, we hypothesized that BDs are produced by cardiomyocytes as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHIV-1-Specific CTL Recognizing a Scarce Epitope Are Not Suppressed by HIV-1 Protease InhibitorsOtto O. YangHIV-1-protease inhibitors have received growing attention as agents that can affect proteases in human proteasomes, with potentially deleterious effects for HIV-1-specific cellular immunity. Studying the antiviral activity of HIV-1-specific CTL that recognize an epitope that is presented at limiting concentrations on infected cells, we find that several HIV-1 protease inhibitors do not affect their function. These data indicate that these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsUnraveling NETosis: From Immune Mechanisms to Therapeutic InnovationsAnastasia V. Poznyak, Alexey V. Churov, Gulalek Amanmyradovna Babayeva et al.Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are integral to immune responses, serving both protective and pathological roles in inflammatory diseases. Despite increasing recognition of NETs, significant gaps remain in understanding the nuanced mechanisms of NETosis and its implications for health and disease. This review systematically explores NETosis—the formation of NETs—by elucidating the molecular signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms involved. We highlight the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGenetic Analysis of Bifidobacteriaceae in a Fermented Milk and Colostrum Product in Relation to Immune FunctionMarco RuggieroThis study investigates the microbial composition of a commercially available Swiss fermented milk and colostrum product with a history of use in chronic condition management since 2014. The analysis, performed using the Axiom Microbiome Array, identified a high number of targets corresponding to microbial species classified as probiotics belonging to the Bifidobacteriaceae family. The array provided 28 unique targets, each … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 2 Aug 2024 · 9,049 accessesView PDFCite
