OBJECTIVES This study was aimed at investigating immune activations of the 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model in colonic mucosa by immunohistochemical and Western blot methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this purpose, 16 female Wistar albino rats were divided into two random groups of control (n=8) and colitis (n=8). The experimental colitis model was induced by i...

toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the protozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii (t.gondii) throughout the world. although usually asymptomatic, the infection can cause serious medical problems in immunocompromised individuals and fetuses. toxoplasmosis also causes considerable economic loss because of abortion in livestock. dna vaccination is a promising approach against intracellular parasite...

background: infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) causes a highly immunosuppressive disease in chickens and is a pathogen of major economic importance to the poultry industry worldwide. the vp2 protein is the major host-protective immunogen of ibdv and has been considered as a potential subunit vaccine against the disease. vp2 coding sequence was cloned in an inducible fungal vector and the pr...

luteolin is a flavone in medicinal plants as well as some vegetables and spices. it is a natural anti-oxidant with less pro-oxidant potential but apparently with a better safety profile. the purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism of luteolin-mediated apoptosis of mg-63 human osteosarcoma cells. mtt assay kit was employed to evaluate the effects of luteolin on mg-63 cel...

This essay is about the history of schooling in Western Canada for Indigenous people, non-British and non-English-speaking White settlers, Chinese Canadians Japanese Canadians. It brings their different experiences into conversation with one another using an anti-racist approach to history. Different racisms, argues, determined policies governments used school these groups Canada, which contrib...

Background and Aims: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) triggers production of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines. Nowadays Silybum marianum has been shown to treat liver and gall bladder disorders, especially to protect the liver against poisoning from various toxins. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the protective effect of silymarin on LPS-induced liver toxicity in male Wistar rat. M...
