Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive central nervous system disorder affecting both grey and white matter; it affects children and young adults and, with only occasional exceptions, is fatal. Present interest in the illness stems from the observation that the disease is due to a slow virus infection produced by measles or a measles-like virus (Horta-Barbo-a, Fuccillo, and...

RNA polymerase sigma factor sigma(F) initiates the prespore-specific program of gene expression during Bacillus subtilis sporulation. sigma(F) governs transcription of spoIIIG, encoding the late prespore-specific regulator sigma(G). However, transcription of spoIIIG is delayed relative to other genes under the control of sigma(F), and after synthesis, sigma(G) is initially kept in an inactive f...

During a period of 7 years (1997-2003) we were received pairs of serum and CSF of 27 suspicious clinically cases from neurology department of several hospitals in Tehran. Among them 7 were serologically positive for progressive rubella panencephalitis (PRPE) and 2 were positive for sub acute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Rubella virus was isolated from 4 of 7 serologically positive cases o...

The child was admitted in the paediatric department with complaints of fits for one month and altered level of consciousness for two days prior to admission. Mother had also noticed changes in behaviour for one month. He became unusually frightened when he was alone and in a dark room. Fits were not controlled for two days when he came to Abbasi Shaheed hospital and child became drowsy. He was ...

Abstract Wheat allergies are a growing significant health concern around the globe. The ancient diploid wheat progenitor, Aegilops tauschii (genome DD), contributed to genetic diversity of common soft white (Triticum aestivum, genomes AABBDD). allergenic potential Ae. is largely unknown. Here we tested hypothesis that salt-soluble protein extract (SSPE) from will be intrinsically in an adjuvant...
