The effect of bovine viral diarrhea virus on bovine monocyte phenotype

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen of the livestock industry worldwide. BVDV is classified into cytopathic (cp) and noncytopathic (ncp), depending on its effects on cultured cells. BVDV is known to alter the host’s immune response. Of this, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules play a central role in the development and function of the i...

Characterisation of human knee meniscus cell phenotype.

OBJECTIVE Studies on the biology of the human meniscus cell are scarce. The objective of our studies was to assess survival/proliferation of human meniscus cells in different culture conditions and to characterize the extracellular matrix (ECM) produced by these cells in these artificial environments. The composition of this ECM offers a variable to define the distinct meniscus cell phenotype. ...

Molecular Detection of Bovine Leukocytic Anaplasma Species in Isfahan, Iran

Background: A. bovis and A. phagocytophilium are leukocytotropic agents of bovine anaplasmosis. They are obligate intracellular bacteria that can infect and cause Anaplasmosis in human and animals. Therefore, this study was carried out to detect A. bovis and A. phagocytophilum in naturally infected dairy cattle in Isfahan using molecular techniques. Materials and Methods: In this study a tot...
