Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLeishmania donovani: Immunomodulatory Role of 63KDa Leishmania Antigen in the Promotion of IFN-gamma Response (VL vs HIV-VL Co-infection)Pranati, Sanjiva Bimal, K. Pandey et al.Cytokine behavior of T-lymphocytes is not very clear when a patient is co-infected with Leishmania donovani and HIV. To achieve this we studied groups of patients comprising of VL infected, HIV infected and HIV-VL co-infected cases. As compared to lone infections by either of the infecting agent, the co-infection cases showed greatly diminished CD4 T-cell counts and slightly enhanced values … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBotulinum Toxin as a Novel Addition to Anti-Arthritis ArmamentariumHamid Namazi, Zahra MajdOsteoarthritis is the most common joint disease and is among the most frequent health problems for middle aged and older people. There is strong evidence that proinflammatory cytokines contribute to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis. Interleukin-1 is the prototypical proinflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of cartilage matrix degeneration. Results from studies in animal models provide stronger evidence implicating a role … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBioactive Factors of Colostrum and Human Milk Exhibits a Day-Night VariationNubia Andrade Silva, Adenilda Cristina Honorio-Franca, Fernanda Regina Giachini et al.The aim of this study was to determine the chronobiological variations of cytokines (IFN-γ, TGF-β) and hormones (melatonin and cortisol). The sample was collected from 42 mothers at three stages of maturity-day 3 (colostrum), day 10 (transitional milk) and day 30 (mature milk) postpartum, at two times of day: diurnal (12:00 h) and nocturnal (24:00 h), resulting a total of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2013 · 8,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Multi Vessels Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass GraftMohammed Farouk Abdel-Hafez, Ahmed El-Minshawy, Ahmed M. Taha et al.Traditional Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is currently among of the chief methods in dealing with patients suffering from atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. The current study aimed to measure and compare the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress marker in patients who underwent multivessels Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (MICS– CABG) versus off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2021 · 6,175 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effects of Costus Root Aqueous Extract against Schistosomiasis, Liver Damage and Oxidants in Mouse Models of Schistosoma mansoni InfectionAreej Jameel M. AlghabbanSchistosomiasis is one of the major human parasitic diseases in many developing countries that causing chronic ill health in humans. The present work aimed to study the possible curative role of Costus (Saussurea lappa) root extract against Schistosoma mansoni infection induced liver toxicity, cytokines, oxidative stress and DNA damage in mice. 40 adult male micewere divided into four groups (G1, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2021 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHumoral 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 · 6,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRegulation 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 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDouble Application of Translocator Protein Ligands and RAW Cells Inflammatory MilieuMaria Staykova, Filomena Mattner, David Linares, Andrew KatsifisLigands targeting the translocator protein exhibit a variety of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. A double application of eight translocator protein ligands to activated murine macrophage-like cells changed to a different extent the levels of secreted reactive nitrogen intermediates, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. To our knowledge this is the first report suggesting that multiple applications of different translocator protein ligands may … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2016 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDEVELOPMENT 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 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
