Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Lactobacillus Plantarum and Bacterial Peptidoglycan on the Growth of Mouse Tumors in vivo and in vitroArpa Aintablian, Dalal F. Jaber, Mary Ann Jallad, Alexander M. AbdelnoorSome members of the microbiota have been shown to be effective strategies for inhibiting tumor growth through stimulation of host anti-tumor immune responses. Anti-tumor immune effects were observed when Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp), a member of the gut microbiota, was used to treat colorectal cancer in mice. Moreover, constituents of bacteria, including peptidoglycan (PG), have been shown to exhibit tumoricidal effects. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic Mental Stress Induces Reversible Reduction of Natural Killer Cells and CD56dim SubpopulationManar M. IsmailGenerally, studying to be a health care provider is a stressful and demanding field and the students have to face many stressors that may affect their general health status including the immune system. This work aimed at studying the effect of prolonged naturalistic life-stress exposure on the percentage of peripheral blood T-lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells in female laboratory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral and Cellular Effects of Stress-An Extensive Model SystemMazal Shimon-Hophy, Ramy R. AvtalionThe influence of stress on the immune system of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied by measuring leukocytes levels using flow cytometry and mRNA immune components by real time qPCR. Acute and chronic oxidative stresses were generated by different regimes of exposure of carp to environmental air. In acute stress, induced by single air exposure, the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2017 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Gene Expression by β-GlucansMary O. Huff, Carolyn M. Klingeβ-D-glucans are diverse polysaccharides derived from plant cell walls, fungi and bacteria. β-D-glucans are composed of D-glucose monomers linked by (1-3) β-glycosidic bonds with varying amounts of (1-6) or (1-4) linked side chains that bind cell surface receptors ultimately triggering changes in intracellular pathways and gene transcription. β-D-glucans have anti-viral, immunomodulatory and anti-cancer activities. This article reviews the current identity … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Clinical ProcedureOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions with Particular Focus on Lyme DiseaseDietrich Klinghardt, Marco RuggieroHere we describe the Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol that is based on integration of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) with diagnostic ultrasonography and on application of therapeutic ultrasounds; the latter are used as a provocation tool and as an instrument to optimize drug uptake and utilization in specific areas of the body. This protocol consists of a precise sequence of diagnostic and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2017 · 37,244 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImmunе-Mediated Myocarditis Associated with Leptospirosis in 6 Years Old Labrador RetrieverOleinikov Dmitrii, Letunoskaja AnnaAbout 6 years old, male Labrador retriever was presented for 10 days long weakness and fatigue. After diagnostic examinations, a preliminary diagnosis of Leptospirosis was suggested. Cardiologist consultation was advised. At admission, the dog was depressed, the visible mucosa was pale and capillary refilling time was slowed. Weak systolic murmur and rhythm disturbances were auscultated. Thoracic radiography revealed the accented … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Proposed Statistically-Derived Compromise Cut-off CD4 Count Value for HIV Patients to Start using ARVsMaria Mokgadi Lekganyane, Solly Matshonisa SeeletseThe study investigated the relationship between statistical outliers and the inconsistent values of the CD4 count recommended for starting the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) by HIV-positive patients. Low CD4 counts imply a low immune system. It could be due to AIDS existence or closeness to death. An effective treatment to curb HIV impact is ART, which is recommended for low CD4 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 29 Jun 2016 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
