Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHost 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY ANALYSIS OF POLYPHENOL RECOVERY FROM ARTICHOKE WASTEAntonio ZuorroLarge amounts of a solid waste consisting mainly of outer bracts and stems are produced from the industrial processing of artichokes. In this study, the recovery of polyphenols from the two waste components was investigated. Extraction experiments were carried outby an environmentally friendly procedure using aqueous ethanol as solvent. The total polyphenol content, expressed as mg of GAE per g … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 3 Jul 2014 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
