Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious health problem worldwide, and an urgent need exists to improve or replace the available vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Most vaccination protocols adapt two or three doses to induce long-term lasting immunity. Our previous study showed that the naked DNA encoding the triple-antigen fusion TFP846 (Rv3615c-Mtb10.4-Rv2660c) induced r...

The aim of this study was to determine serum and synovial concentrations of the CS-846 epitope of articular cartilage aggrecan, in horses with a radiological diagnosis of osteochondral fragmentation (OF). For this purpose, 20 thoroughbred horses with unilateral radiocarpal or intercarpal OF were used, and 10 clinically and radiologically healthy Thoroughbred horses were assigned to the control ...

The specific surface area of a powder is determined by physical adsorption of a gas on the surface of the solid and by calculating the amount of adsorbate gas corresponding to a monomolecular layer on the surface. Physical adsorption results from relatively weak forces (van der Waals forces) between the adsorbate gas molecules and the adsorbent surface of the test powder. The determination is u...

This study was undertaken to investigate molecularly the occurrence of EHV-1 and EHV-4 infection among equine population in regions, Iran. Blood samples from 53 and 37 randomly selected horses settled in Isfahan and Shahrekord, Iran, respectively, were collected. Detection of EHV-1 and EHV-4 genes in the blood samples was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 53 and 37 samples from...

Tea is the most common beverage throughout the world. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is full of flavonoids (1). This herbal drug has a lot of polyphenols, catechin epicatechin, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate. It also contains other composites like saponins, caffeine, tannins, and some vitamins. Several different investigations have indicated that green tea has hypo-cholesterolae...
