Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCytotoxicity Studies of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Macrophage and Liver CellsAroonsri Priprem, Pramote Mahakunakorn, Chunpen Thomas, Ian ThomasSuperparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) prepared by simplified coprecipitation were attractive as MRI contrast agents and drug carriers which could internally be manipulated under the influence of an external magnetic field and also cancer treatment due to additional hyperthermia effects. Problem statement: Macrophage and liver cells are potentially exposed to internal SPIONs, thus used for this cytotoxic tests for safety … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2011 · 11,624 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential of Fig Leaf (Ficus carica L.) as Immunomodulatory Agent in vitro and in SilicoAnita Dewi, Fitri Rahmayanti, Haidar Bagir et al.Natural remedies are increasingly being used as alternatives to conventional medicine, and their popularity is growing. The fig plant (Ficus carica L.), which is known to contain secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, steroids, and saponins, has the potential to act as an immunomodulator. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of flavonoid compounds based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2023 · 6,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPharmacological Properties of Bioactive Extracts from the Rhizome of Aristolochia longa LAmal El Hamsas El Youbi, Dalila BoustaAristolochia longa is a medicinal plant well known in Moroccan folk medicine for its activity against constipation, intestinal infections and skin diseases. The present study was performed to evaluate in vitro and in vivo immunomodulatory and cytotoxic activities of aqueous and protein extracts of A. longa. The in vitro immunomodulatory results showed that aqueous extract at 0.1 mg/mL enhanced T-lymphocyte … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 21 Jul 2020 · 7,456 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 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Gene Expression by β-GlucansMary O. Huff, Carolyn M. Klingeβ-D-glucans are diverse polysaccharides derived from plant cell walls, fungi and bacteria. β-D-glucans are composed of D-glucose monomers linked by (1-3) β-glycosidic bonds with varying amounts of (1-6) or (1-4) linked side chains that bind cell surface receptors ultimately triggering changes in intracellular pathways and gene transcription. β-D-glucans have anti-viral, immunomodulatory and anti-cancer activities. This article reviews the current identity … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDouble Application of Translocator Protein Ligands and RAW Cells Inflammatory MilieuMaria Staykova, Filomena Mattner, David Linares, Andrew KatsifisLigands targeting the translocator protein exhibit a variety of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. A double application of eight translocator protein ligands to activated murine macrophage-like cells changed to a different extent the levels of secreted reactive nitrogen intermediates, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. To our knowledge this is the first report suggesting that multiple applications of different translocator protein ligands may … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2016 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Active Substance Changes of Soybean Curd Residue Fermented by Preussia aemulans and its BioactivityYiting Li, Shili Meng, Min Shi, Zhenya ZhangA new species of fungus Preussia aemulans isolated from the Cordyceps sinensis fruiting body was cultured by soybean curd residue using solid-state fermentation method. The content of polysaccharide, amino acid, protein, phenolics and nucleoside were massively improved under the optimum conditions, including 10% adding dosage of glucose, 3% adding dosage of beef extract, 15 days of fermentation time. The crude … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2016 · 7,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Potential of VipAlbumin® to Chronic Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Balb/C Mice ModelDinia Rizqi Dwijayanti, M. Sasmito Djati, Mansur Ibrahim, Muhaimin Rifa’iDiabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of diseases which have increasing number of sufferers every year. Almost all DM patients are type 2 DM. One of the causes of type 2 DM is a chronic inflammation due to an increase of circulating proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-6. VipAlbumin® from snakehead fish extract is expected to be useful as … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,612 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 · 8,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPOSURE TO SWINE HOUSING DUST MODULATES MACROPHAGE MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTIONRuth J. Pender, Radiah C. Minor, Steven L. Hurley et al.Swine Confinement Facility (SCF) dust consists of a complex mixture of feed grain particles, bacterial components, organic particulates and gases. When these particles are inhaled they deposit along the respiratory tract and mediate respiratory symptoms and disease in swine farmers and facility workers. Macrophages ingest and eliminate microbes and debris under chronic conditions; however, the role of macrophages in agricultural-related … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,606 accessesView PDFCite
