β-glucans belong to a group of biologically active natural compounds called biological response modifiers. These substances represent highly conserved structural components of cell walls in fungi, yeast, grain and seaweed. Despite almost 160 years of intensive research, the exact mechanisms of their action remain unsolved. The significant role of glucans in cancer treatment, infection immunity,...

The present study was undertaken to isolate oil from Mangifera indica bark, Identification of various phytoconstituents and screening of immunostimulant activity in experimental animals. Methods: Immunostimulant activity was evaluated in rats as well as in mice by determining neutrophil adhesion to nylon threads and phagocytic index. Levamisole at a dose of 50 mg/kg, b.w was used as standard dr...

Vibriosis is a type of shrimp disease caused by Vibrio sp. In the control consumption biota, it highly recommended to use natural ingredients that are not carcinogenic, one which red betel leaves (Piper crocatum). This study aims determine best dose leaf extract (P. crocatum) mixed in Vannamei feed prevent vibriosis. this study, shrimps were reared for 40 days at density 20 fish/container. The ...

The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of ethanolic extract of Egyptian propolis given alone or in combination with inactivated Pasteurella multocida vaccine on rabbits challenged with a virulent strain of Pasteurella multocida. Fifty-six New-Zealand rabbits, 6-8 weeks old and non-vaccinated against pasteurellosis, were randomly divided into eight equal groups. The first group...

A therapeutic technology that combines the phototoxic and immune-stimulating ability of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the widespread effectiveness of the immune system can be very promising to treat metastatic breast cancer. We speculated that the knowledge of molecular mechanisms of existing multi-component therapies could provide clues to aid the discovery of new combinations of an immunost...
