“broussonetia papyrifera” (chinese mulberry) pollen is an important source of allergens in regions surrounding shanghai, china. to identify and purify major allergens from “b. papyrifera” pollen that reacted with serum antibodies from sensitized patients, “b. papyrifera” pollen was defatted, dried, and extracted proteins were separated using sp cationic exchange or q anionic exchange columns. s...

abstract: cryptosporidium parvum is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite which causes diarrhea in both human and wide range of animals. since this protozoa causes remarkable economic losses in cattke industry in iran, the molecular determination of porotozoa and characterization of its protein pattern and immunogenic antigend are the aim of this study. in this study, diarheatic fecal samples of c...

T cell proliferation is critical for immune responses; however, the molecular mechanisms that mediate the proliferative response are poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRs) regulate various molecular processes, including development and function of the immune system. Here, utilizing multiple complementary genetic and molecular approaches, we investigated the contribution of a hematopoietic-specific...

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. This causes significant morbidity and mortality in people living with HIV/AIDS, especially countries limited resources. Currently used diagnostic tests rely on culture serology but some limitations. No molecular assays are commercially available results from different reports have been variable...

Electroacupuncture (EA) could improve the hyperactivity of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis induced by hepatectomy. However, its underlying mechanism still remains largely unclear. Here, we found that hypothalamic corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) modulates the function of the HPA axis, while hepatectomy induced an HPA axis disorder and EA application could regulate the hypoth...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of cellular miRNAs and EBV miRNA upon the expression of targets such as PTEN, and their involvement in the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we examined several differentially expressed cellular miRNAs in EBV-positive versus EBV-negative Burkett lymphoma tissue samples...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can function as endogenous silencers of target genes and play critical roles in human malignancies. To investigate the molecular pathogenesis of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, the miRNA expression profile was analyzed. miRNA microarray analysis with tissue specimens from gastric MALT lymphomas and surrounding non-tumo...

Radiation-induced genomic instability plays a vital role in carcinogenesis. Bod1 is required for proper chromosome biorientation, and Bod1 depletion increases premature chromatid separation. MiR-142-3p influences cell cycle progression and inhibits proliferation and invasion in cervical carcinoma cells. We found that radiation induced premature chromatid separation and altered miR-142-3p and Bo...
