In rats thymectomized at birth and tested in adult life, ability to develop autoallergic encephalomyelitis was completely suppressed, there was a marked diminution in the degree of tuberculin sensitization appearing after a single injection of mycobacteria in oil, rejection of skin homografts was markedly delayed, and adjuvant arthritis was not appreciably affected. At the same time there was a...

Environmental risks resulting from increasing application of herbicides have raised many concerns about human health and safety of agro ecosystems and environment. Hence, it is very important to find practical and effective methods for reducing the use of pesticides in environment as well as the increasing the efficiency of these compounds. Addition of adjuvants to spray solutions could be cons...

background: it has been reported that vitamin d has broad anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. objective: to evaluate the effects of vitamin d on the expression of il-27 and il-33 in a model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae). methods: eae was induced in c57bl/6 mice by immunization with myelin oligodendroglial glycoprotein mixed with complete freund's adjuvant. ...

pemphigus vulgaris (pv) is one of the most common and studied autoimmune disorders of skin. the knock down of desmogleins in the skin by igg antibodies will eventually leads to mucocutaneous problems in both genders. targeting the cardinal molecules involved in the pathways of immune response is the main goal of given therapy. with regard to the side effects of long term use of immunosuppressiv...

Newcastle disease (ND) causes severe economic losses in poultry production. Despite the intensive vaccination regimes of NDV in Egypt, many outbreaks are being reported. The present study focused on the preparation and evaluation of inactivated velogenic Newcastle disease virus vaccine (genotype VII) isolated from Egyptian broiler chicken during 2015-2016. Fifty-five tissue samples including tr...

in this study, the immunogenicity of three types of antigens (hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of e. granulosus) was investigated in lambs by elisa. sixteen 4–6-month-old lambs of mixed sexes were divided into 4 groups of 4 lambs (three immunized and one control group). twelve lambs as immunized groups received 2 mg of hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of e. granulosus ant...

wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) has invaded to wheat and barley fields since flamprop-isopropyl was obsolesced in iran. the herbicides of sulfosulfuron and sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron-methyl are able to control it at higher-than-recommended dosages, causing a crop injury. hence, two dose-response experiments in factorial experiment with a completely randomized design with four replications wer...

Psoriasis is an immune mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology and characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and inappropriate immune activation, which affects the skin and joints as well.The immunopathogenesis of psoriasis involves changes in the innate and acquired (T lymphocytes) immune system. The cells of the innate immune system when activated produce growth factors, cytoki...

Adjuvants mayimprove control efficiency of volunteer RR® corn with ACCase inhibiting herbicides. Thus, the aim this study was to evaluate effects adjuvant addition herbicides clethodim and quizalofop, on surface tension, spray deposition control. The tension (96 g a.i. ha-1) quizalofop (60 without a mineral oil, vegetable oil an organosilicon evaluated at concentrations 0.01; 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1....
