background: to determine the morphological specifications of the bird schistosomes cercaria from lymnaea gedrosiana and to detect the surface carbohydrates as receptors for host lectins in the host-parasite relationship systems such as avian schistosomiasis and human cercarial dermatitis. methods: one hundred ninety two snails collected from dezful areas in khuzestan province, in the south west...

this investigation was designed to determine the effect of intact ovalbumin and mannose-conjugatedovalbumin on the prevention of salmonella typhimurium adherence to the epithelium of small intestine ofchickens. mannose-conjugated ovalbumin was produced by maillard-type reaction between chickenovalbumin and d-mannose at 60°c. the results revealed that incubation up to 96 hrs caused the highestam...

background dermatophytosis is a cutaneous fungal infection with a worldwide occurrence. in dermatophyte infections, the release of keratinocyte cytokines, in the presence of dermatophyte antigens, causes an acute phase response; subsequently, the acute-phase proteins are produced by hepatocytes. mannose–binding lectin (mbl), an acute-phase protein, also acts as a kind of pattern recognition rec...

background: acanthamoeba keratitis develops by pathogenic acanthamoeba such as a. pal­es­tinen­sis . indeed this species is one of the known causative agents of amoebic keratitis in iran. mannose binding protein (mbp) is the main pathogenicity factors for developing this sight threatening disease. we aimed to characterize mbp gene in pathogenic acanthamoeba isolates such as a. palestinensis . m...

A polyethylenimine adjuvant modified by mannose, which may be used in the study of vaccine adjuvant, was prepared this paper. Its structure characterized infrared spectroscopy and its micromorphology observed transmission electron microscopy. series mannose-modified polyvinylimine were according to molar ratio primary amine groups between mannose polyvinylimine, their storage stability at 4°C. ...

background: leishmania is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite, which infects human be­ings when infected sand fly vector takes a blood meal.  most efforts are towards designing an effective vaccine to prevent leishmaniasis. in this way, development of candidate antigen for vaccine has spe­cial im­portant. in this study, we cloned mannose-1-phosphate guanyltransferase gene of iranian ...

Background & Aims: Type 1 fimbriae is the most common adhesion factor in urine tract infection. In this Study, presence of virulence genes in isolated strains of uropathogenic E.Coli, O serotyping and molecular detection of phase variation of type 1 fimbriae were assessed during solid surfaces exposure. Methods: Isolated E.coli from urine samples of patients were serotyped by using serologic me...

Hemocyanins are used as immunomodulators in clinical applications because they induce a strong Th1-biased cell-mediated immunity, which has beneficial effects. They multiligand glycosylated molecules with abundant and complex mannose-rich structures. It remains unclear whether these structures influence hemocyanin-induced immunostimulatory processes human APCs. We have previously shown that hem...
