Next generation sequencing: new tools in immunology and hematology

One of the hallmarks of the adaptive immune system is the specificity of B and T cell receptors. Thanks to somatic recombination, a large repertoire of receptors can be generated within an individual that guarantee the recognition of a vast number of antigens. Monoclonal antibodies have limited applicability, given the high degree of diversity among these receptors, in BCR and TCR monitoring. F...

The effects of dietary Zhumeria majdae extract on growth indices, hematology and immunology of catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus

Low survival at early stages of life is of great concern for fish culturists. Considering the effects of herbal immunostimulants on innate immune response and growth improvement of aquatic animals, the impacts of a native herb of Hormozgan province named Zhumeria majdae extract on growth indices and immunology of catfish fingerlings Pangasianodon hypophthalmus with mean weight of 1.27±0.24 were...

Reproductive Immunology Research: A Tight Interaction between Diverse Scientific and Clinical Disciplines Including Immunology, Obstetrics, Hematology, and Endocrinology

The unique immunological riddle of human gestation involves a broad variety of cells and molecules playing evidently important roles (1). The reproductive and immune systems are morphologically diffused,and their modus operandi involves widely distributed signals in response to the given environmental input, while both systems must interact to obtain their normal functionality (2). Furthermore,...

Effects of the prebiotics inulin and lactulose on intestinal immunology and hematology of preruminant calves.

Prebiotics are suggested as an alternative to antibiotics in animal rearing. Fermentable substances such as inulin or lactulose have been proposed to stimulate the immune system and health by modulation of the intestinal flora and its fermentation products. In this study, effects of inulin and lactulose on the intestinal health and hematology of calves have been investigated. Both prebiotics si...
