Background: Studies on efficacy of various vaccines that prevent or reduce the primary and recurrent HSV-1 infection have demonstrated the importance of cellular immunity for protection against the infection. We previously used DNA vaccination to induce cellular immunity against HSV-1 infection in mice. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of LIGHT, a member of TNF super f...

  Humans suffer transient or persistent starvation due to a lack of food intake, either because of fasting, voluntary dieting, or due to the scarcity of available food. At the cellular level it is possible to possess pathological starvation during ischemia and solid tumors. Blood provides many nutrients to our cells, and researchers provide these nutrients to cells in culture in the form of en...

background: numerous evidences indicate that in some hiv-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against hiv-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. objective: the aim of this study was the evaluation of the adenovectors containing hiv genes in induction of immune responses in mice. methods: the hiv-1 genes including gag p24, rev...

Propoxure (PPX) is a well-known carbamate insecticide, which has been used for several decades in the world and Iran in agriculture and public health programs. However, there is no clear investigation toward its immunotoxicity as yet. In this study, we examined the effects of subchronic i.p. exposure of PPX on humoral (PFC & HA) and cellular (DTH) responses, and also monitored T-Cell subtypes u...

background heat shock protein 72 (hsp72) is responsible for maintaining critical cellular function during heat stress. hsp72 confers thermotolerance and may play a role in heat acclimation. animal research suggests a difference between sexes in hsp72 expression in response to exercise, however, human data is lacking. conclusion our findings suggest that men and women differ in their cellular st...
