The antileishmanial activity of Aloe vera leaf exudates: in vitro and in vivo
Background: According to the drug resistance and side effects of the standard treatments for leishmaniasis, achieving effective treatment with less side effects and more benefits is of paramount importance. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Aloe vera leaf exudate on Leishmania major under in vitro and in vivo models, in inbred BALB/c mice. Methods: Different concentrations of bo...
متن کاملAn IgG3 monoclonal antibody established after immunization with GM3 lactone: immunochemical specificity and inhibition of melanoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo.
In previous studies, an IgM monoclonal antibody (M2590), established after immunization of C57BL/6 mice with syngeneic B16 melanoma cells, was found to react with melanoma cells, but not with various normal cells and tissues (Taniguchi, M., and Wakabayashi, S., Jpn. J. Cancer Res., 75:418-426, 1984). The structure defined by this antibody was identified as GM3 (Hirabayashi, Y., et al., J. Biol....
متن کاملMouse melanoma antigen recognized by Lyt-2- and L3T4- cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
A mouse melanoma (B16) antigen was investigated at a cellular level by three blocking experiments using monoclonal antimelanoma antibodies, soluble melanoma antigen, and enzyme-treated B16 melanoma cells as inhibitors. The activity of antimelanoma cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) was specifically reduced by addition of the mixture of two monoclonal antimelanoma antibodies, one (M2590) recognizing ...
متن کاملWhole-cell vaccine coated with recombinant calreticulin enhances activation of dendritic cells and induces tumour-specific immune responses.
It has been reported that calreticulin (CRT) plays an important role in mediating immunogenic tumour cell death. In the process of tumour cell apoptosis induced by specific stimuli, CRT is quickly transferred from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell membrane. As a specific ligand, CRT on the surface of apoptotic tumour cells could mediate the re...
متن کاملComparison of the Antifungal Activity of Honey and Fluconazole against Candida albicans in vitro and in an Enteric Candidiasis Mouse Model
Background & Objective: Candidiasis has gained importance due to its increasing prevalence in immunocompromised patients. Antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and amphotericin B are used for the treatment of candidiasis. One of the biggest problems faced in clinical practice is resistance for most of these drugs. The antifungal drugs derived from natural products have helped to overcome this pr...
