Quest for correlates of protection against tuberculosis.
A major impediment to tuberculosis (TB) vaccine development is the lack of reliable correlates of immune protection or biomarkers that would predict vaccine efficacy. Gamma interferon (IFN-γ) produced by CD4(+) T cells and, recently, multifunctional CD4(+) T cells secreting IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been used in vaccine studies as a measurable immune para...
متن کاملa nanocomposite shield constructed for protection against the harmful effects of dental x-rays
o bjectives: this study aimed to compare a number of new nanocomposites capable of pro- tecting the jaw from ionizing radiation. mat erials and methods: four different types of nano-powders [ti, zr (iv) oxide, ag and co] were mixed in a polymer matrix to create nano-composites with doping values of 8% in weight. small-angle x-ray scattering (saxs) analysis was performed using a hecus- saxs syst...
متن کاملCardiac and hepatic role of r-AtHSP70: basal effects and protection against ischemic and sepsis conditions
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), highly conserved in all organisms, act as molecular chaperones activated by several stresses. The HSP70 class of stress-induced proteins is the most studied subtype in cardiovascular and inflammatory disease. Because of the high similarity between plant and mammalian HSP70, the aim of this work was to evaluate whether recombinant HSP70 of plant origin (r-AtHSP70) was...
متن کاملThe inhibitory effects of berry-derived flavonoids against neurodegenerative processes
Evidence suggests that a combination of oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and the formation of endogenous neurotoxins contribute to the underlying neuronal death associated with neurodegenerative diseases. In this study we have investigated the ability of the berry-derived flavonoids to protect against neuronal damage induced by neuroinflammation and the neurotoxin 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine. The...
متن کاملFlavonoids: Antioxidants Against Atherosclerosis
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or reactive nitrogen species and limited antioxidant defences. Endothelium and nitric oxide (NO) are key regulators of vascular health. NO bioavailability is modulated by ROS that degrade NO, uncouple NO synthase, and inhibit synthesis. Cardiovascular risk conditions contribute to oxidati...
