Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Pathomechanism of Neuro-COVID-19Abir Fguirouche, Nissrine Louhab, Mohamed Chraa et al.Gathered data about SARS-CoV-2 have shown strong evidence in terms of neuroinvasive and neurotropic capacities of the virus to reach and cause eventual damage to the Central Nervous System. The spread of the virus may occur through direct and indirect ways, leading to anosmia and/or ageusia. These signs have been observed in many COVID-19 patients and are then included in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2020 · 6,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Polymorphisms at Heat Shock Protein 90 Gene by High Resolution Melting Assays for Potential Heat Tolerance among Nigerian Zebu Cattle BreedsGbolabo Onasanya, George Msalya, Aranganoor Thiruvenkadan et al.Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 90 gene is a member of HSPs sub-family that act as molecular chaperons whenever animals come under thermal stress. The genes fulfill essential roles of providing cellular protection, immune response, protein synthesis, protein folding and unfolding, protection from cellular stress, inhibitory apoptosis and adaptation. This study was designed to analyze polymorphisms of HSP 90 and to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2020 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Vaccination Associated with Eliminating Inheritance Risks during Embryo Development: A ReviewRia MargianaThe process of immunization using modified DNA is essential whenever scientists desire to trigger an artificial response in the host’s body to improve immunity. The use of DNA vaccines awakens the somatic cells of the host to produce antigens that will assist the body to prepare to fight infections through preventive measures triggered by the vaccines. These biological inventions have … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 26 May 2016 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Duality of AIM2 Inflammasome: A Focus on its Role in Autoimmunity and Skin DiseasesMiriam CanaveseUnderstanding the inflammasome biology is one of the most exciting challenges in immuno-pharmacology. The role of the inflammasomes has been recognized in the host defense mechanism against invading pathogens and in the development of several conditions, such as cancer, auto-inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. DNA recognition by the cells is a crucial immunological step leading to the initiation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Apr 2016 · 7,376 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunology of Septic Shock and Traumatic Injury: A ReviewWilliam Heuser, Marianne Frieri, Krishan Kumar, Anthony BoutinSepsis remains a major worldwide cause of morbidity and mortality and remains amongst the leading causes of death in medical Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Increasing injury severity associated with trauma is a significant independent risk factor for sepsis and many of these patients require intensive care unit resource utilization with increased rates of mortality. There are many postulated theories regarding … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2015 · 7,004 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Association of HLA Class II Alleles with the Response to Alfa-Interferon/Ribavirin Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C PatientsAwny Aly Abol-Ez Gawish, Nahla Abd El-Hamid Mohammed, Rasha Adel Sayed Ahmed Hussein, Elsaid Galal El-BadrawyHuman Leucocyte Antigens (HLA) class II appears to play an important role in the individual’s immune response to viral infection. The present study was aimed at assessment of the relationship between HLA DRB1 alleles and the response to HCV combined therapy in Chronic Hepatitis C patients (CHC). We enrolled a total of 44 chronically infected HCV patients without Hepatitis B … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2015 · 6,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModulation of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 Cytokines is Related to Parasitemia Control in Mice Infected by Trypanosoma cruzi and Treated with BiotherapyFabiana Nabarro Ferraz, Franciele Karina da Veiga, Denise Lessa Aleixo et al.The study of biotherapies as an intervention in experimental models of infection is a possible means to understand the effects of these highly diluted medications. The present study evaluated the immunological and parasitological effects of biotherapies that were prepared from mouse serum that was uninfected (sarcode: BSNI13cH group) and chronically infected with the Y strain of T. cruzi (nosode: BSI13cH … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2015 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAre we Able to Harness the Immunomodulatory Power of Cytokines for Novel Autoimmune Disease Treatments?Giuseppe Nocentini, Graziella Migliorati, Carlo RiccardiSince the end of the 1970s, interleukin 2 (IL-2) has been known as a key player in T cell expansion/activation (Watson et al., 1980). In the late 1980s, some groups used IL-2 to stimulate the immune systems of tumour patients (Jacobs et al., 1986). The idea seemed brilliant and several attempts were made, but the results were disappointing (Lim et … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
