Our previous studies showed that some antigenic and mitogenic substances, when locally injected into mice, efficiently produced new lymph follicles outside pre-existing follicles in draining lymph nodes, whereas others had virtually no effect. In the present experiments, young adult male mice were injected with several antigens and mitogens in the rear footpad, and the number and development si...

it is now well documented that interferon gamma (ifn-γ) is the indispensable cytokine for inducing protective immunity against experimental and human cutaneous leishmaniaisis. the importance of ifn-γ receptor (ifn-γr) has also been studied. in the present study, we made attempts to find out whether l. major infection is able to alter the expression of ifn-γr in vivo. in addition, we studied the...

Normal systemic venous drainage was demonstrated by contrast cross-sectional echocardiographic methods and later confirmed by conventional angiographic injections. In addition, angiography showed a stenosis in the anomalous cardiac vein...
