Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHIV-1-Specific CTL Recognizing a Scarce Epitope Are Not Suppressed by HIV-1 Protease InhibitorsOtto O. YangHIV-1-protease inhibitors have received growing attention as agents that can affect proteases in human proteasomes, with potentially deleterious effects for HIV-1-specific cellular immunity. Studying the antiviral activity of HIV-1-specific CTL that recognize an epitope that is presented at limiting concentrations on infected cells, we find that several HIV-1 protease inhibitors do not affect their function. These data indicate that these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Selenium Supplementation on Secretion of Reproductive Hormones and Immune Response to Trichostrongylidae Nematodes Infestation in Zulu Sheep Ewes During Oestrous CycleNoxolo Winile Nkunzi, Fhulufhelo V Ramukhithi, Ismaila Muritala et al.The growing resistance of nematodes to anthelmintics has prompted research into alternative control strategies, including nutritional supplementation with micronutrients such as Selenium (Se). Research focusing on the use of mineral supplementation would not only contribute to improvement of animal performance but also to acquaint stakeholders with alternative immune boosting strategies in livestock. Thus, this research assessed how immune response and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 27 Oct 2026 · 51 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsUnraveling NETosis: From Immune Mechanisms to Therapeutic InnovationsAnastasia V. Poznyak, Alexey V. Churov, Gulalek Amanmyradovna Babayeva et al.Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are integral to immune responses, serving both protective and pathological roles in inflammatory diseases. Despite increasing recognition of NETs, significant gaps remain in understanding the nuanced mechanisms of NETosis and its implications for health and disease. This review systematically explores NETosis—the formation of NETs—by elucidating the molecular signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms involved. We highlight the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGenetic 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 · 9,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmunological Characteristics of Winter Wheat Lines with Resistance to Rust Diseases in KazakhstanSaltanat Bakytzhanovna Dubekova, Amangeldy Taskalievich Sarbaev, Aikerim Asylbekkyzy Ydyrys et al.The growing spread of particularly dangerous diseases (variations of rust) in the grain-bearing countries raises fears of the harmfulness of phytopathogens increasing. In the years favorable for their development, a sharp decrease in the productivity of the ear and the quality of the grain is observed. The high potential of the pathogen to produce new aggressive disease variations makes most … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2022 · 5,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordscDNA Cloning and Characterization of the House Dust Mite Allergen Sui p 2Joshua Evans M. Bajao, John Donnie A. RamosSuidasia pontifica (Sp) is a House Dust Mite (HDM) species found in tropical urban residential areas which causes sensitization of up to 75% of allergic patients. Cloning of allergens from Sp is a significant initial step in understanding the clinical significance of this HDM species. The study describes the cloning and in silico characterization of the group 2 allergen gene … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 14 May 2020 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLentinan Properties in Anticancer Therapy: A Review on the Last 12-Year LiteratureLuca Vannucci, Petr Sima, Vaclav Vetvicka, Jiri KrizanThe effects of β-glucan in cancer are the most studied biological effects of β-glucan. From all available β-glucans, the most data are available on lentinan, mostly because it is used in clinical practice for over 20 years. Current review represent a state-of-the-art comprehensive review of knowledge obtained in last twelve years. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 12,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGlucans and the Poultry Immune SystemJacqueline Jacob, Anthony PescatoreWith the reduced availability of antibiotics, poultry producers are looking for feed additives to stimulate the immune system of their birds. Some beta-glucans have been shown to improve gut health in poultry subjected to a bacterial challenge, to increase the flow of new immunocytes into the various lymphoid organs, to increase macrophage function, to increase antibody titers after a vaccination … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 12,372 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,689 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects 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 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
