Induction of tolerance in B-1 cells for bromelain-treated mouse red blood cells by a transient presence of anti-idiotype antibodies in neonatal and adult mice.

Neonatal and Adult Mice Transient Presence of Anti-Idiotype Antibodies in Bromelain-Treated Mouse Red Blood Cells by a Induction of Tolerance in B-1 Cells for

Oral tolerance for delayed type hypersensitivity contribution of local and peripheral mechanisms

Oral tolerance is a physiological immune mechanism, which controls the outcome of deleterious hypersensitivity reactions to environmental antigens absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and maintains homeostasis. Using a mouse model of oral tolerance of delayed type hypersensitivity to contact allergens, i.e. haptens, we have examined the mechanisms involved in the induction of oral toler...

بررسی تأثیر سرم موش حامله بر روی سلولهای دندریتیک در القاء تحریک لنفوسیت‌های T و تولید سیتوکین‌های IL-10 و IFN-γ Dendritic Cells and Antigen Specific T Cell Responses: Effect of Pregnant Mouse Serum

    Background & Aim: Tolerance to the semi-allogenic fetal graft by the maternal immune system is a medical enigma that has stimulated investigations for a half of century. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the tolerance of mother to the fetus. The successful pregnancy is proposed and proved by many scientists to be a Th2 dominant phenomenon. This hypothesis is proved in most as...

Modulation of Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Nuclear Factor kappa B Mediated iNOS/NO Production by Bromelain in Rat Primary Microglial Cells

Background: Microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .They are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. When over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Thi...

Isolation and Phenotyping of Normal Mouse Liver Dendritic Cells by an Improved Method

Introduction Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. Liver DCs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. However, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of DCs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver DCs. ...
