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 · 7,794 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 · 12,285 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession.

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 · 8,137 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 · 6,728 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPromising 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses of Neural Cells (U87) to HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43 InfectionsEun Ju Oh, Jae-Sik Jeon, Qian-Wen Wang, Jae Kyung KimRespiratory viruses, such as Coronaviruses (CoVs), can be neuroinvasive and exacerbate neurological pathologies via their capacity for direct viral replication and/or by inducing excessive host immune responses in the Central Nervous System (CNS). HCoV-229E is a primary COVID-19 and HCoV-OC43 is a beta COVID-19 belonging to the same genus as SARS-CoV-2 and both can cause acute infections in glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2023 · 5,186 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractWhat You See Is What You GetSaadettin Sel, Mark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtThe recognition and neutralization of invading pathogens by the human immune system is designed to protect the organism. Sometimes, the checks and balances in place securing a tightly controlled immune surveillance of privileged sites are lifted in order to ensure survival of the individual at the cost of losing the functionality of an organ. Here, we use choice areas to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 6,977 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 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Immunological Responses by Dietary Arthrospira platensis and Possibility of Field Applications as Alternative to Antibiotics in Broiler ChickenShinsuke Katayama, Yumi Kayahara, Tomoko WatanabeArthrospira platensis is one of the candidates expected to replace antibiotics by its immunostimulatory effects in broiler industry, but the evaluation aimed at field applications is not enough. Here, we measured general immunological indicators such as specific antibody responses against sheep red blood cell and Brucella abortus, serum immunoglobulin concentrations and monocyte phagocytic capacity of broiler chickens, which assigned to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2016 · 7,088 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
