Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPreliminary Study on Immunomodulatory Effect of Sarang-Semut Tubers Myrmecodia tuberosa and Myrmecodia pendensTriana Hertiani, Ediati Sasmito, Sumardi, Maria UlfahProblem Statement: Sarang-Semut tubers, Myrmecodia tuberosa and M. pendens (Rubiaceae) are both medicinal plants originating from Papua which have broad range of therapeutic values including those to improve vitality. Nevertheless, no scientific proof is available so far on their immunomodulatory effect. The purpose of this study was to reveal the potency of Sarang-Semut tubers as immunomodulatory agent by evaluating their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 13,397 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTowards Identifying Immunogenic Targets in Visceral Leishmaniasis: Role of 17kDa and 63kDa PhosphoproteinsShubhankar K Singh, Sanjiva Bimal, Diwakar S. Dinesh et al.We observed predominant phosphorylation at Protein Kinase C (PKC-α) residue in seven immunoreactive proteins of virulent Leishmania donovani parasites. These phosphoproteins were tested for their ability to stimulate T-cells for secretion of Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in comparision to crude soluble antigen in Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) patients. Two of these phosphorylated L. donovani antigens led Leishmania to present these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOxidized Low-density Lipoprotein Upregulates GM2 Activator Protein Gene ExpressionHidekatsu Yanai, Hiroshi Yoshida, Hironobu Fujiwara et al.Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been shown to be a powerful regulator of gene expression in monocyte-derived macrophage. To determine the effects of oxidized LDL on macrophage gene expression, macrophages incubated with native or oxidized LDL were analyzed by differential display technique. The differentially expressed cDNA (387 bp) fragment by oxidized LDL showed 100% homology to the part of 3’-untranslated … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSelective Lymphocyte Activation and Inhibition of In Vitro Tumor Cell Growth by Novel MorphinansRicardo Gomez-Flores, Kimberly R. Vietti, William J. Dunn et al.Opioids can suppress immune functions and increase susceptibility to developing cancer and infectious diseases. Recently, novel opioid compounds have been synthesized that lack immunosuppressive effects. We evaluated the effects of morphinans with substituted pyrimidine (methyl, phenyl, hydroxy, and amino groups) and pyrazole groups on in vitro rat thymic lymphocyte and splenic macrophage functions, and tumor cell growth. We observed that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2005 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInterleukin 10 Induces the Maturation of Putative Tolerogenic Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells as Revealed by GeneArray AnalysisMarianne A. Jakobsen, Bjarne K. MØller, Klaus Rieneck et al.IL-10 is a multifunctional cytokine with known inhibitory effect on DC maturation. In the present study, we show that the presence of IL-10 during the first 6 days of maturation of Mo-DC has severe effects on the phenotype with IL-10 treated Mo-DC retaining a high expression of factors involved in antigen uptake and having low expression of costimulatory factors and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSoluble CD14, Sialic Acid and L-Fucose in Breast Milk and their Role in Increasing the Immunity of Breast-Fed InfantsGhalib Ali Oriquat, Tahia H. Saleem, Samir T. Abdullah et al.Problem statement: Breast milk contain protective factors as soluble CD14, L-Fucose and Sialic acid which increase the innate immunity and level of intelligence, decrease the incidence of gastroenteritis, chest and other systemic diseases in newly born infants. In the present study the role of soluble CD14, L-Fucose and Sialic acid, in increasing the immunity in breastfed infants were studied to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 10,188 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Effects of Stachys Japonica Miq. Ethanol Extract on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppressed Mice and its Phytochemical CompositionXueping Jiang, Jianglong He, Yanjun Chen, Fang WangStachys japonica Miq. is an edible wild botanical drug and a traditional medicine in China. This study focused on examining the phytochemical profile and antioxidant properties of the ethanol extract of S. japonica Miq (SJEE) in vitro, as well as its immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppressed mice. The SJEE was analysed by UPLC-HRMS/MS. 36 Polyphenols, including flavonoids, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic 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
