objectives the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of anti-hbc and hbsag in blood donors. further, the study aimed to estimate the anti-hbc level at which hbv dna is detected in putative obi cases, as well as to search for mutations in the “a” determinant associated with the non-detection of hbsag in serum. conclusions we observed that as the anti-hbc levels increase, there...

The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in human and veterinary clinical applications has become a subject increasing importance due to their roles immunomodulation regenerative processes. MSCs are especially relevant equine medicine because they may have the ability treat prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, among other conditions. However, recent evidence suggests that components secreted by...

Fetal tissue from primiparous hamsters prevented simian virus 40 (SV40) tumorigenesis in male hamsters, whereas fetal tissue from multiparous hamsters did not. The parity status of normal (uninoculated) hamsters also influenced the cytotoxicity of their lymphoid cells against tumor cells. Lymph node cells from nonpregnant primiparous and multiparous animals were cytotoxic in microcytotoxicity t...
