Objective: The interleukin-12/interferon-γ (IL-12/IFN-γ) pathway is the most validated cytokine regulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. role of IL-12/IFN-γ axis in protecting against (TB) exhibited people having mutations genes encoding these cytokines. We aimed to study serum levels IL-12 and IFN-γ pediatric their correlation with clinical microbiological features. Material Methods: A...

Background: Obesity is one of the most serious health problems associated with inflammation. It has been found that functional and resistance physical activities improve obesity and inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect High-intensity Functional training (HIFT) and Circuit resistance training (CRT) on serum levels of the pro-inflammatory factor interferon gamma (IFN-...

Background: Interferon gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine produced by a variety of cells is involved in the immune response against M. tuberculosis. It activates the production of other cytokines and molecules that kill mycobacterium. IFN-γ also has diagnostic role in identification of active and latent tuberculosis. Objective: To determine the level of IFN-γ in the blood of TB patients. Methods: Ninety...

background: interferon gamma (ifn-γ), a cytokine produced by a variety of cells is involved in the immune response against m. tuberculosis. it activates the production of other cytokines and molecules that kill mycobacterium. ifn-γ also has diagnostic role in identification of active and latent tuberculosis. objective: to determine the level of ifn-γ in the blood of tb patients. methods: ninety...

interferon- gamma (ifn- γ) is an important immune regulator and inflammatory cytokine which is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (ms). a single nucleotide polymorphism, t to a, at position +874 in the first intron has previously been shown. this polymorphism is associated with ifn- γ production level. to study the effect of this polymorphism on susceptibility to multiple scle...

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...

Background: Cesarean section delivery can lead to much maternal morbidity. Different cytokines have been reported to be influenced by the mode of delivery. Objective: To investigate the influence of mode of delivery on maternal, placental and cord sera of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels. Methods: These three cytokines were measured using ELISA in...

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key cytokines in defining T helper 1 lymphocyte immuneresponses. In this study, the bovine IFN-γ gene was cloned from spleen tissue RNA using the reversetranscription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). IFN-γ cDNA was sub-cloned and expressed inmammalian expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1(+)) under the control of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV)promoter. The pred...

results the frequencies of the aa, at, and tt genotypes were 31%, 51%, and 18% in the chronic hbv patient group, and 40%, 45%, and 15% in the healthy control group, respectively. however, a lack of association of the + 874 polymorphism in the ifn-γ gene of those with chronic hbv infection was found. evaluation of hbv association with this polymorphism was significant under the dominant genetic ...

The administration of interferon has improved the antiviral and immunomodulatory abilities piglets, which is conductive to prevention potential diseases or delay appearance clinical symptoms. This study aimed evaluate effects from recombinant interferon-alpha (IFN-α) on daily care piglets. results were compared a Chinese herbal drug that was shown increase serum levels. In addition, routes oral...
