Genetic variation among sheep breeds in resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) has been demonstrated in several production environments. Relationships between the ovine major histocompatibility complex and resistance to GIN have been studied, but few studies have systematically examined this issue in less-developed and semi-arid regions. The aim of the current study was to explore assoc...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. it is a clinically heterogeneous disorder especially in terms of disease severity. current investigations suggest that genes and gene-gene interactions not only influence on susceptibility to ms but also affect the disease severity. in this study, we investigated the contribution of the hladrb1*1501 ...

We have examined the spatiotemporal characteristics of postrotatory eye velocity after roll and pitch off-vertical axis rotations (OVAR). Three rhesus monkeys were placed in one of 3 orientations on a 3-dimensional (3D) turntable: upright (90 degrees roll or pitch OVAR), 45 degrees nose-up (45 degrees roll OVAR), and 45 degrees left ear-down (45 degrees pitch OVAR). Subjects were then rotated a...

HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) gene is located on chromosome 6’s short arm, including several loci. genotyping necessary for transplantation, especially in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A cross-sectional study to determine the frequency of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 alleles 122 patients admitted National Children’s Hospital Hematopoietic transplantation from year between 2010 2020. Th...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in sheep, Ovar-Mhc, is poorly characterised, when compared to other domestic animals. However, its basic structure is similar to that of other mammals, comprising class I, II and III regions. Currently, there is evidence for the existence of four class I loci. The class II region is better characterised, with evidence of one DRA, four DRB (one coding a...

Abstract Background : Suicide is a complex phenomenon determined by the interaction of various risk factors. The Major Histocompatibility Complex most polymorphic gene cluster entire human genome, being linked to both regulation immune system and psychiatric diseases. aim this study was identify HLA-DQB1 DRB1 alleles genotypes susceptible influence suicidal behavior. Methods We explored associa...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a multifactorial autoimmune disease with complex genetic basis, causes demyelination in the central nervous system via cytokine responses to myelin antigens. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the main protein component of the myelin sheath. HLA-DRB (human leukocyte antigen-DR beta) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1501, may be of significance in the pathogenesi...
