EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHENOTYPICAL AND MASS SPECTRAL ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SOME CONTAGIOUS MASTITIS PATHOGENSA. El Behiry, Rasha Nabil Zahran, Eman Marzouk, Musaad Al-DabibMastitis is one of the most economic disease affecting dairy cows worldwide. Identification of mastitis pathogens still depends principally on culture and phenotypical method, which is a difficult and time-consuming. Newly, microbiologists have focused their attention on the use of Mass Spectrometry (MS) for microbial identification, especially Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-Of-Flight (MALDI-TOF). Therefore, this study was designated to … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 29 May 2014 · 8,133 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Fetuin-A and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as a Predictor Marker for AtherosclerosisOsama F. Mosa, Ibrahim H. Mohamad, Magdi M. SalamaProblem statement: Associations between serum levels of fetuin-A, C3 complement, calcium × phosphate product and calcification risk index and lipid profile in SLE patients were established. However, the mechanism of accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied with SLE remains elusive. We therefore turned to investigate the association between Fetuin-A, disease activity and accelerated atherosclerosis in patients with SLE. Approach: Serum blood samples were … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 15 Sep 2012 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBovine Viral Diarrhea-an Emerging Disease in Camelids a ReviewU. WerneryBovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is an emerging disease in both New World Camelids (NWCs) and Old World Camelids (OWCs). The virus has been isolated from NWCs particularly in alpacas and dromedaries, but there are no reports of BVD in Bactrians. BVD is an important infectious disease.
