introduction: decidua as the nearest mother's tissue layer to the fetus which is in direct contact with the embryo has an important role in composing the appropriate microenvironment for protection of allogenic fetus from mother's immune response. in this study the effect of supernatant from culture of decidual cells on dendritic cells regarding the induction of t-cell allogenic proliferation r...

in this paper, the multistage variational iteration method is implemented to solve a general form of the system of first-order differential equations. the convergence of the proposed method is given. to illustrate the proposed method, it is applied to a model for hiv infection of cd4+ t cells and the numerical results are compared with those of a recently proposed method.

objective: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is one of the most relevant persistent infections afflicting the human population. control of viral replication in hcv infection has been associated with the cellular component of the host immune response. several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this abnormal immune response, among them an altered activity of regulatory t cells (tregs) being the most ...

Background: T-2 toxin is a mycotoxin of type A trichothecenes produced by several fungal genera such as Fusarium species. Mycotoxins can affect both cell mediated and humoral immune compartments. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investi-gate the effect of T-2 toxin on cytokine production by mouse peritoneal macrophages and lymph node T cells. Methods: Mouse peritoneal macrophages and...
