We investigated the effect of functional point mutations (Q730E) endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) on proliferation, apoptosis and cytokine secretion HaCaT cells. The ERAP1 ERAP1-Q730E were overexpressed in expression TNFR1 TNFR2 cells was detected by immunofluorescence. proliferation CCK-8. Cell cycle analyzed flow cytometry. IL-1β, TNF-α IL-6 ELISA. IKKs caspase-8 Western blot. o...

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-PTLD) is a known and serious condition for the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This study evaluated the prevalence of EBV in umbilical cord samples of healthy pregnant women in Baghdad, Iraq.  Methods: 800 umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples were collected from healthy pregnant women. The ...

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic role of diosmetin in periodontitis and its probable mechanism action.Methods: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce periodontal cells. Cell viability apoptosis response LPS were evaluated using MTT TUNEL assays. The oxidative stress inflammatory responses LPS-induced effects cells detected enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, role...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of toxoplasma antibodies using a single serum dilution (1:800) in conjunction with a standard curve Antigen was prepared from Toxoplasma gondii cultivated in human cell cultures. A nearly linear relationship was found between the logarithms of the absorbance values of 120 human sera at a dilution of 1/800 and the titre...

background : toxoplasmosis is a worldwide endemic disease. in congenitally infected infants and aids patients, toxoplasmosis causes high rates of morbidity and mortality. in these cases antibody detection is difficult; so detection of parasite or its components could be useful tool for early detection and following treatment of the infection. methods : sixty-three balb/c mice were injected intr...
