بررسی مقایسه‌ای سرولوژی اریون در کودکان مبتلا به کاهش شنوایی حسی عصبی و کودکان غیرمبتلا Comparative Study of Mumps Serology in SNHL Children and Unaffected Ones

    Background & Aim: Mumps infection is endemic in Iran. Due to high percentage of unvaccinated young people(10y(2.1%). Acute mumps infection(positive IgM) was seen in 8.3% and previous immunity to mumps(IgG) in 24.1% of all. The highest incidence of acute infection(IgM) was in 3-5-year old group, but it was not different in other age groups(P=0.11). Previous infection(IgG was also higher in 3...

BALB/c Mice Immunity to Hydatidosis Induced by In-vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worm Antigens

Background: Echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Several native and recombinant antigens, derived from different stages of E. granulosus life cycle, have been used for vaccine trials. In vitro reared adult worms are good candidates for vaccination as they do not produce fertile egg/s and do not have any risk of contamination for r...

In vitro Lymphoproliferative Responses of Trichostrongylus colubriformis High and Low Responder Guinea Pigs to Worm Antigens (SPL3, SPA) and Ovalbumin

In vitro lymphocyte responses of high responder (HR) and low responder (LR) guinea pigs from pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to parasite antigens soluble protein third stage larvae (SPL3) and soluble protein adult stage ( SPA), non-parasite antigen ovalbumin (OVA) were examined. There was substantial differences between HR and LR guinea pigs in the rate of acquisition of responsiveness to t...

Feeding Immunity: Physiological and Behavioral Responses to Infection and Resource Limitation

Resources are a core currency of species interactions and ecology in general (e.g., think of food webs or competition). Within parasite-infected hosts, resources are divided among the competing demands of host immunity and growth as well as parasite reproduction and growth. Effects of resources on immune responses are increasingly understood at the cellular level (e.g., metabolic predictors of ...

Role of adult worm antigen-specific immunoglobulin E in acquired immunity to Schistosoma mansoni infection in baboons.

Allergic-type immune responses, particularly immunoglobulin E (IgE), correlate with protective immunity in human schistosomiasis. To better understand the mechanisms of parasite elimination we examined the immune correlates of protection in baboons (Papio cynocephalus anubis), which are natural hosts for Schistosoma mansoni and also develop allergic-type immunity with infection. In one experime...
