Immunostimulatory activity of major membrane protein II from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Previously, we observed that both major membrane protein II of Mycobacterium leprae (MMP-ML) and its fusion with M. bovis BCG (BCG)-derived heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) (Fusion-ML) are immunogenic and that recombinant BCG secreting either of these proteins effectively inhibits the multiplication of M. leprae in mice. Here, we purified M. tuberculosis-derived major membrane protein II (MMP-MTB)...
متن کاملImmunostimulatory Effects of Silica Nanoparticles in Human Monocytes
Amorphous silica particles, whose applications are increasing in many biomedical fields, are known to be less toxic than crystalline silica. In this study, the inflammatory effects of amorphous silica nanoparticles were investigated using 30-nm amorphous silica nanoparticles and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or purified monocytes. As a result, production of IL-1β and IL-8 wer...
متن کاملUrinary β-trace protein
The screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients needs the measurement of serum markers like creatinine. Our previous results indicated that urinary excretion of β-trace protein (BTP), a low-molecular-weight protein (23-29 kDa), is increased in CKD patients from stage 2. The aim of this study was to assess the major determinants of urinary excretion of BTP and to evaluate its feasibility...
متن کاملImmunostimulatory Compounds in Neem
Long before ancient healers had any idea of how the human body fought disease, they prescribed neem for disorders as diverse as leprosy, gastro-intestinal problems, malaria, ringworms, diabetes, colic, anorexia, boils, epilepsy and ulcers. The first two books of Ayurveda, the Caraka Samhita and Susruta Samhita, include nearly a hundred references to neem that date back two to four centuries bef...
متن کاملImmunostimulatory activity of Bacillus spores.
Bacillus species, typically Bacillus subtilis, are being used as probiotics and mounting evidence indicates that Bacillus species are important for development of a robust gut-associated lymphoid system (GALT). We used a number of gut isolates of Bacillus incorporating three species, B. subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus flexus to evaluate the nature of interaction between spores and...
