Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders that is determined solely by their behavior. In this disease, a large part of the neurological disorder and neural controls disorder are observed. Researchers believe that over expressions changes in many genes are the cause of autism. Our goal is to investigate the genetic factors affecting ASD and its treatment ...

Objective(s): Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in activation of T cell responses. Induction of type1 T helper (Th1) immune response is essential to generate protective immunity against cutaneous leishmaniasis. The intrinsic tendency of liposomes to have interaction with antigen-presenting cells is the main rationale to utilize liposomes as antigen carriers. In the present study, the e...

langerhans cell histiocytosis is a relatively rare unique disease process characterized by an abnormal proliferation of immature dendritic cells usually affecting children and young adults. jaws are involved in less than 10% of children with the disease while mandibular involvement in young children is uncommon and bilateral affection is very rare. the purpose of this report is to describe a un...

Background: Dendritic cells (DC) induce tumor or pathogen-specific T cell responses in humans. Several laboratories have developed culture systems, including maturation factors for human DC from peripheral blood monocytes. We comprehensively compared standard maturation stimulus, an autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (MCM), with heparin for their ability to promote uniformly mature DC that ...

objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of protein and dna components of toxoplasma gondii on maturation of dendritic cells and their efficiency in il-12 production and proliferation of t cells. materials and methods: for dc generation, bone marrow cells were cultured in the presence of gm-csf and il-4 for 5 days. tumor lysate and protein or dna components of toxo...
