It is now well documented that interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is the indispensable cytokine for inducing protective immunity against experimental and human cutaneous leishmaniaisis. The importance of IFN-γ receptor (IFN-γR) has also been studied. In the present study, we made attempts to find out whether L. major infection is able to alter the expression of IFN-γR in vivo. In addition, we studied the...

The consequence of treatment with antibiotics on the gut microbiota can be destructive. antibiotics, however, utilized to understand role host physiology. Earlier, we reported efficacy vancomycin in perturbation. We continued effect restoration kinetics perturbed immunity and behavior Th1 (C57BL/6)- Th2 (BALB/c)-biased mice. studied for two months following withdrawal both mice strains. analyze...

Abstract Sesamolin is one of the lignans derived from sesame oil. It has demonstrated significant antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-mutagenic properties. also reportedly augments natural killer (NK) cell lysis activity. We previously reported that sesamolin exerts anticancer effects in vitro induces enhanced NK cytolytic activity against tumor cells. Herein, we aimed to determine mechanism by w...

background: hormesis is defined as the bio-positive response of something which is bio-negative in high doses. in the present study, the effect of radiation hormesis was evaluated on the survival rate of immunosuppressed balb/c mice by cyclosporine a. materials and methods: we used 75 consanguine, male, balb/c mice in this experiment. the first group received technetium-99m (3700bq) and the sec...

objective: oximes are important materials in organic chemistry. synparamethyl benzaldehyde oxime (toloaldoxime) is structurally similar to other oximes, hence we have studied its effects on the neonatal and adult female balb/c mice reproductive systems in order to provide a platform for future studies on the production of female contraceptive drugs. materials and methods: in experimental study,...

Using BALB/c nu/nu, BALB/c nu/nufC3H (BALB/c nu/nu mice raised by C3H/HeN foster mother), BALB/c thymus-engrafted BALB/c nu/nufC3H, BALB/c nu/+, and BALB/c nu/+fC3H mice, we examined what kinds of cells are carriers of blood-borne mouse mammary tumor virus (B-MMTV). A radioimmunoassay and an immunoperoxidase assay revealed the presence of MMTV-gp52 antigen in the mammary glands of all BALB/c nu...

in leishmania (l.) major-infected balb/c mice th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas c57bl/6-infected mice mount a th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. th2 response correlates with igg1 whereas, th1 response supports switching to igg2a subclasses. since igg isotype-dominated response depends on different cd4 + t cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...

background: we evaluated the effect of the ethanolic extract of scrophularia striata on the iranian strain of leishmania major (mrho/ir/75/er) both in vitro and in vivo conditions methods: the effective dose (ed) of ethanolic extract of s. striata were determined using  mtt assay  on the growth of promastigote forms of  l. major in axenic culture media. then, the ed 50 of  s. striata on mice pe...
