[ 1 ] - Interleukin-8 but Not Interleukin-6 Variant May Affect Susceptibility to Brucellosis

Background: Increased levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in acute human brucellosis have been reported. Previous studies have shown that the production and level of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines are associated with the polymorphism of the encoding genes. Objective: To investigate the probable association between IL-6 (-174 C/G) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) gene polymorphisms and susceptib...

[ 2 ] - IL-1β (+3953 C/T) and IL-8 (-251 A/T) Gene Polymorphisms in H. pylori Mediated Gastric Disorders

Background: Previous studies imply that IL-1 and IL-8 gene variations may play a crucial role in the genetic predisposition to different gastric disorders upon H. pylori infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the potential association between the prevalence of certain polymorphic sites and the risk of gastric disorders in Iranian population. Methods: One hundred and forty ...

[ 3 ] - Expression of Recombinant Heat-Shock Protein 70 of MCAN/IR/96/LON-49, a Tool for Diagnosis and Future Vaccine Research

Background: Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is present in all organisms studied so far, and is a major immunogen in infections caused by pathogens including Leishmania spp. Objective: The aim of this study was to clone and express HSP70 from L. infantum strain MCAN/IR/96/LON-49 and evaluate antibody response against HSP70 in visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Methods: The L. infantum HSP70 gene segment...
