Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation the Synergistic Effect of High Dose Radiation of Radioiodine on the Immune System Suppressed By CyclosporineMehrosadat Alavi, Mohammad Ali Okhovat, Kourosh Bamdad et al.Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant drug and iodine-131 is the diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotope in nuclear medicine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of high-dose radiation of radioiodine on the suppression of the immune system of BALB/cmice after receiving cyclosporine. A total of 50 mice BALB/c were randomly divided into two groups (control and test). Then, 50 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Sep 2015 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Dietary Nucleotides on Immune Mechanisms and Physical State in Children with Chronic Respiratory ProblemsRichter Josef, Svozil Vladimir, Král Vlastimil et al.Heavy industrial pollution and/or passive smoking negatively affect the overall immune health of a population. We used a model of children with chronic respiratory problems and evaluated the effects of short term supplementation of their diet with nucleotides. We measured the level of sIgA, eNO levels and total physical activity. We found positive effects of oral supplementation with commercially available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDEVELOPMENT OF THE INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE AND INFLUENCE OF COLOSTRUM SUCKLING IN CALVESViviani Gomes, Camila Costa Baccili, Vinicius Alvim Passos Baldacim et al.Bovine colostrum contains immune factors, like leukocytes and cytokines that are absorbed by the intestinal mucosa of the neonate, however, not much is known about the function of some of these components in the active immune response of calves. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of colostrum intake and development of the innate immune response of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,475 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA NEW PRESUMED IGKAPPA GENE IMPLIED IN THE SEA STAR IMMUNE RESPONSEMichel Leclerc, Magne Osteras, Patricia OttenThe existence of another candidate IgKappa gene of 697 nucleotides, was recently, demonstrated, in the sea star Asterias rubens genome. This last gene was cloned and shown, with its sequence, in the present study. Its potential role in the sea star immune response was accentuated. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2014 · 6,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProtective Effects of Propolis on Gamma-Irradiated Nigella sativa Extract Induced Blood and Immune Changes in Wistar RatsOsama Moseilhy Saleh, Mohamed Mohamed Soliman, Ahmed Abdel-Khalik Mansour, Omniya Mahmoud Abdel-HamidThe present study conducted to test the effect of Nigella Sativa (NS, 5 mg kg-1 of body weight), or γ-irradiated Nigella Sativa (GRNS) on the changes of blood component profiles, liver, kidney functions and immune cytokines secretion in male Wistar rats. Moreover, the possible protection by propolis (200 mg kg-1 B. W.) on the changes induced by NS and GRNS … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmune-Based Therapies for Spinal Cord InjuryBasem I. Awad, Davina V. Gutierrez, Michael P. SteinmetzTraumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in both focal and diffuse spinal cord pathologies that are exacerbated by an inflammatory response after the initial injury. Resident and infiltrating immune cells contribute significantly to the growth-refractory environment near the lesion and can intensify damage to spared tissue, resulting in impaired spontaneous functional recovery. Numerous studies have demonstrated that several immunomodulatory therapies … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2013 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOdds to Quicken Reporting Already Delayed Cases: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Incidences are IllustratedRamalingam ShanmugamDelayed reporting in a medical system complicates efforts to estimate the number of cases that occurred in a time period. A case in point is the government’s difficulty to estimate the number of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases. The reporting delays are not intentional but are ongoing due to changing Federal regulations or medical definitions of the case like … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2013 · 6,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnamnestic Immune Response Eight Years After Immunization of Primates with a Multivalent HIV-1 GP120 Variable Peptide VaccineRebecca Rivera, Kyung Hee Kang, David E. Anderson et al.Successful development of an effective HIV vaccine hasn’t occurred yet partly as a consequence of the antigenic variation deployed by HIV-1 to escape the immune system. Our laboratory is dedicated to develop a single peptide synthesis approach to create multivalent peptides representing hypervariable epitopes of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1. Our previous study showed that our HIV HECs are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2013 · 7,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHumoral Immune Responses to Various Antigens in the Asterids: A. gibbosa and A. rubensMichel LeclercImmunizations with various antigens of the sea stars Asterina gibbosa and Asterias rubens produce specific humoral immune reactions which initiate the antibody factor. This antibody factor is correlated with kappa genes and could be composed of 4 kappa chains. It is the first time that such phenomenom was described in an invertebrate. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2013 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleButyrate-Mediated Genomic Changes Involved in Non-Specific Host Defenses, Matrix Remodeling and the Immune Response in the Rumen Epithelium of Cows Afflicted with Subacute Ruminal AcidosisLouis Dionissopoulos, Anne Hermen Laarman, Ousama AlZahal et al.Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by butyrate have not been defined. The objective of this study was to define the inflammatory-related genomic changes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,059 accessesView PDFCite
