Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of The Extract of Brown Seaweed (Turbinaria decurrens Bory) on the Histology of Colon on AOM-DSS Mouse ModelAnton Bahtiar, Dian AnggraeniUtilization of seaweed as a commodity trading or as a raw materials industry is still relatively small compared with the diversity of seaweed species in Indonesia. Turbinaria decurrens Bory is one of the brown seaweed species that has a high enough fucoxanthin content compared with other brown seaweed species. Fucoxanthin is one of the carotenoid pigments that have long been … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2017 · 7,036 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Lactobacillus Plantarum and Bacterial Peptidoglycan on the Growth of Mouse Tumors in vivo and in vitroArpa Aintablian, Dalal F. Jaber, Mary Ann Jallad, Alexander M. AbdelnoorSome members of the microbiota have been shown to be effective strategies for inhibiting tumor growth through stimulation of host anti-tumor immune responses. Anti-tumor immune effects were observed when Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp), a member of the gut microbiota, was used to treat colorectal cancer in mice. Moreover, constituents of bacteria, including peptidoglycan (PG), have been shown to exhibit tumoricidal effects. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). 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 abstractThe Effect of Bovine Cartilage on the Growth of Mouse B16F10 Melanoma Cells in vitro and in vivoArax Tanelian, Dalal F. Jaber, Nayla S. Al Akl, Alexander M. AbdelnoorEarlier reports indicated that Bovine Cartilage (BC) had anti-tumor effects but only a few in vitro and in vivo investigations were conducted to assess its mechanism of action. The aim of this study was to investigate some of the proposed mechanisms of action of BC on mouse melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo and to determine if its … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2016 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCD2 Shown to Facilitate CD4+ Cell Differentiation during Visceral Leishmaniasis, a Receptor Based StudySukrat Sinha, Shanthy Sundaram, Sanjiva Bimal et al.This study addressed the role of CD2 on CD4+ T helper cells in relation to the TCRVα1 and CD70 in two groups of BALB/c mice viz control and infected (1×107 L. donovani promastigotes). The results showed with the downregulation of CD2 expression there is a pronounced decrease of TCRVα1 and CD70 on CD4+ cells in mice. An insight into the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2015 · 7,831 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation the Synergistic Effect of High Dose Radiation of Radioiodine on the Immune System Suppressed By CyclosporineMehrosadat Alavi, Mohammad Ali Okhovat, Kourosh Bamdad et al.Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant drug and iodine-131 is the diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotope in nuclear medicine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of high-dose radiation of radioiodine on the suppression of the immune system of BALB/cmice after receiving cyclosporine. A total of 50 mice BALB/c were randomly divided into two groups (control and test). Then, 50 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 28 Sep 2015 · 6,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Unilateral Cervical Vagotomy on Murine Dendritic CellsDaniel Sanzio Gimenes da Cruz, Ana Paula Nascimento de Lima, Patrícia Benites Gonçalves da Silva et al.The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway has been demonstrated to be an important mechanism that modulates several inflammatory diseases. This modulation occurs upon activation of the vagus nerve, which modulates splenic macrophages and lymphocytes through the predominant neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine (ACh). We hypothesized that this modulation could also take place in dendritic cells, as these cells represent a link between the innate and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2015 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
