Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Effects of Stachys Japonica Miq. Ethanol Extract on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppressed Mice and its Phytochemical CompositionXueping Jiang, Jianglong He, Yanjun Chen, Fang WangStachys japonica Miq. is an edible wild botanical drug and a traditional medicine in China. This study focused on examining the phytochemical profile and antioxidant properties of the ethanol extract of S. japonica Miq (SJEE) in vitro, as well as its immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities in cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppressed mice. The SJEE was analysed by UPLC-HRMS/MS. 36 Polyphenols, including flavonoids, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,449 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

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 · 12,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCpG Oligodeoxynucleotides Debate the Damaging Action of Cisplatin on Immune Cell DNA: A PCR Array Application on Repair Genes ExpressionNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Amal Abo El-Fadl, Shabaan Hemada et al.Synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) mimic the immunostimulatory activity of bacterial DNA and are commonly used to activate Toll Like Receptor 9 (TLR9) for therapeutic applications. CpG-ODN can counteract the activity of DNA-damaging chemotherapy and radiation therapy on immune cell and enhance immunity in preclinical mouse models. We hypothesized that these actions of CpG-ODN on immune cells are … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite
