This study was conducted to compare the effects of diets Borage Powder and control (no additives diets) on broiler’s average blood cell counts and immune system on the broiler chicks. Sixty four male broiler chicks (Ross 308) randomly allocated into one of two treatments with four replicates of eight chickens based on a completely randomized block design.  Diets were include control (no additiv...

this article reviews will focus on the concept and formation of micro particles (mps) in circulation and their role in transfusion medicine and immune system. mps are cell membrane derived vesicles which express markers of their parent cells and are found in circulation at low levels. exact functions of mps are unclear. in here, physiological almost all types of circulating mps including platel...

Background: Regulatory T cells (T-regs) have an important role in cancer by suppression of protective antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T cells express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (FOXP3) and OX40 molecules which have important regulatory roles in the immune system. Objective: To evaluate FOXP3 and OX40 transcripts in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of women with ...

background: it is now well established that several environmental stress factors cause activation of p38 map kinase and jnk in various cell types to produce chemokines. objective: to investigate the expression of cxc chemokines gro/kc and sdf- 1a in rat's h4 hepatoma cells in response to heat shock, hyperosmolarity and oxidative stress. methods: hepatoma cells were maintained in mem medium...

background: bacterial dna has immunostimulatory effects on different types of immune cells such as dendritic cells (dcs). application of dcs as a cellular adjuvant represents a promising approach in the immunotherapy of infectious disease and cancers. objectives: to investigate the effect of tumor antigen pulsed dcs in the presence of cpg-1826 in treatment of a murine model of cancer. methods: ...

Background & Objectives: Chronicity of lupus nephritis (LN) should be considered for interaction of cell mediated immunity (CMI) and dendritic cells in glomeruli and tubulointerstitial areas. In this study establishment of immunohistopathological changes of dendritic cells and other immune effector cells in lupus nephritis comparing with non-lupus nephritis was performed. Materials & Methods: ...

it has been suggested that prf might possibly have an effect on the immune cells. we considered using the intravenous route to apply prf in conditions that are caused by an unresolved immune action or connected to allostatic load, implicating an abnormally reacting immune system to obtain a systemic effect that could possibly be an additional tool in treating some of these conditions. these man...
