Interferon-Gamma Gene Polymorphism in Patients with Tuberculosis
Abstract Background and objectives: Interferon-Gamma and interferon Gamma receptor (IFNγ ⁄ IFNγR1) are the main genes associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis. We aimed at studying on interferon-Gamma Gene polymorphism(- 56 C/T) in people suffered from tuberculosis (TB). Material and Methods: In this case-control study, the subjects were 62 individuals with TB and 74 hea...
متن کاملLevel of Interferon Gamma in the Blood of Tuberculosis Patients
Background: Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine produced by a variety of cells is involved in the immune response against M. tuberculosis. It activates the production of other cytokines and molecules that kill mycobacterium. IFN-γ also has diagnostic role in identification of active and latent tuberculosis. Objective: To determine the level of IFN-γ in the blood of TB patients. Methods: Ninety...
متن کاملTowards establishing a rhinoceros-specific interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) assay for diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium bovis is the causal agent of bovine tuberculosis (BTB), with a diverse host range, extending from livestock to domestic and captive wild animals as well as free-ranging wildlife species. In South Africa, BTB is endemic in the Kruger National Park (KNP) and the Hluluwe iMfolozi National Park (HiP), where the high prevalence of M. bovis infections in buffalo herds has led to infecti...

background chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is a multifactorial disease that can result in serious clinical complications. host genetic background especially the genes that encode immunologic factors like inf-γ and its receptor (ifn-γ r) are critical in the pathogenesis of infection. materials and methods genomic dna from peripheral blood samples of 200 chronically hbv infected patient...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Promoter Region of the Interferon - Gamma Receptor1 Gene and its Relation with Susceptibility to Brucellosis
Background & Objective: Brucellosis is one of the most prevalent bacterial zoonotic diseases which afflicts both humans and animals. Genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility to brucellosis. One of these factors is interferon-gamma (IFN-g), which is vital in the defense mechanism against infectious diseases such as brucellosis. The purpose of this study was to ev...
