Members of gram-negative bacteria family Pasteurellaceae, include a large number of important economically human and veterinary pathogens. Organisms belonging to the family can colonize in mucosal surfaces of the respiratory, alimentary, genital tracts and cause diseases in various mammals, birds, and reptiles. Hemorrhagic septicemia is an acute disease of cattle and buffaloes in tropi...

The perivascular implantation of tissue-engineered endothelial cells around injured arteries offers an opportunity to study fundamental vascular physiology as well as restore and improve tissue function. Cell source is an important issue because the ability to implant either xenogeneic or allogeneic cells would greatly enhance the clinical applications of tissue-engineered grafts. We investigat...

HIGHLIGHTS Brown propolis from Southwest of Parana modulated pacu immune system. Dietary supplementation extract increased fish serum lysozyme concentration. circulating organic defense cells. did not cause toxic effects on pacu.

Background and Objectives: Complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. Impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. This study was conducted to show whether serum C3 and C4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...

1. Complement is not fixed by immune aggregates resulting from the interaction of pneumococcus capsular polysaccharide and type-specific immune horse serum, although under proper conditions the substitution of immune rabbit serum gives positive results. 2. The negative results with immune horse serum are due to some poorly understood property of the specific antibodies rather than to some heter...

Background: Psoriasis is an immune mediated inflammatory disease that involves the innate and acquired arm of immunologic system. The regulatory role for vitamin D in system suggested by presence receptors on activated lymphocytes suppressive or inhibiting effect 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin different autoimmune diseases. Hence, current proposed study aims to 25-hydroxyvitamin status patients with pso...

OBJECTIVE To study the relation between severity of pneumonia and serum cortisol level in a cohort of Egyptian patients. METHODS All consecutive adult patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) admitted to Mansoura University Hospital, Mansoura, Egypt between March 2008 and December 2008 were considered for study inclusion. Exclusion criteria were patients with HIV infection, impaired i...

Studies have been conducted on the effect of immune serum upon a strain of human influenza virus (PR8) grown in chick embryo tissue culture medium. The results have demonstrated (a) that when cells are exposed to the action of immune serum of high titer and subsequently washed freely, these cells support the growth of virus as well as cells treated with normal serum; (b) that, in agreement with...

Introduction Vacuolar protein sorting 29 (VPS29) is a core component of the retromer-retriever complex and essential for recycling numerous cell-surface cargoes from endosomes. However, there are no reports yet on VPS29 Eimeria spp. Methods Here, we cloned prokaryotically expressed partial sequence tenella (EtVPS29) with RT-PCR engineered strain Escherichia coli respectively. The localization i...
