Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCo-Inhibitory Molecule Programmed Death-1 and its Ligands: A New Alternative Therapy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection?A. Leon-Flores, P. Del Rio, G. Reyes-TeranChronic viral infections are characterized by the up-regulation of a set of immunomodulatory receptors. The over-expression of co-inhibitory molecules on T cells leads to a dysfunctional T cell response with an "exhausted" phenotype. Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a molecule that exerts an inhibitory signal on the T cell receptor when it binds to the PD-L1 or PD-L2 ligands present on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2012 · 6,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDengue Virus Infection Induced NF-κB-dependent Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ProductionLien-Cheng Chen, Huey-Wen Shyu, Huan-Yao Lei et al.Dengue virus (DV) infection can cause mild dengue fever or severe dengue hemorrhage fever and dengue shock syndrome. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses and serum levels of MIF are correlated with disease severity in dengue patients. However, the mechanism that induces MIF production during … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Evaluation of Proton Pump Inhibitor Bioactive Fraction DLBS2411 from Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) in Animal Model of Gastric Ulceration HealingFlorensia Nailufar, Raymond Rubianto TjandrawinataDLBS2411 is a bioactive fraction from Cinnamomum burmannii that is believed to possess anti-ulceration activity. In this study acetic acid was administered to induce gastric ulcer. Rats were divided into six groups: Healthy animals, untreated animals (acetic acid-induced), treatment group of BAF DLBS2411 25 mg kg-1 Body Weight (BW), BAF DLBS2411 50 mg kg-1 BW and positive control group of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 28 Feb 2018 · 9,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVirtual Screening of CPP Conjugated Peptide as QcrB BCC Protein Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis BacteriaMuhammad Ihsan Muttaqin, Manaman Huang, Usman Sumo Friend TambunanTuberculosis is a global leading cause of death, just below COVID-19 and ranked above HIV. This disease is caused by a pathogen called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which spreads easily through the air and is known to remain latent in most people's bodies, about a quarter of the world's population. The current problems with TB also include two main concerns: The official … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2024 · 5,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBIOCHEMICAL, NUTRIENT AND INHIBITORY CHARACTERISTICS OF STREPTOMYCES CULTURED FROM A HYPERSALINE ESTUARY, THE LAGUNA MADRE (TEXAS)Luis E. Espinoza, Anita L. Davelos Baines, Kristine L. LoweStreptomyces are common soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites, including several antibiotics; however, the characteristics of marine Streptomyces are largely unknown. Sediment samples were taken from 3 sites in the Laguna Madre to isolate marine Streptomyces. Sediment was diluted, spread onto synthetic seawater media to estimate the total bacterial density of the samples and spread onto starch casein agar to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2013 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterization of Crude Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Buckwheat SproutsYuedong Song, Yangfang Zhang, Yilin Wang et al.Buckwheat sprouts can not only effectively reduce the trypsin inhibitor in buckwheat grain, but also improve the content of bioactive ingredients such as flavonoids and other effective components. However, Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) in buckwheat sprouts causes browning of food, which limits the application of buckwheat sprouts in food. In addressing this problem, studying the characteristics of PPO in buckwheat sprouts … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhenotypic ESBL Detection in Acinetobacter baumannii: A Real ChallengeGeetanjali M. Litake, Vikram S. Ghole, Krishna B. Niphadkar, Suresh G. JoshiClinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends two-step approach for extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL) detection which includes the screening of recommended agents and the phenotypic confirmation of ESBL using a combination of screening agent and β-lactamase inhibitor. To investigate this approach, we screened 145 β-lactamase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolates for ESBL from tracheal secretions using double disk synergy test (DDST) and phenotypic confirmatory disc … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Oct 2015 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin.
