Humoral immunity state in survivors of pediatric acute lympho-blastic leukemia

Background and Objective: Since there are very few studies on the immunodeficiency state of the Iranian survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we conducted this study to determine the prevalence of humoral defects in children with ALL at least one year after completion of chemotherapy. Methods: In this study, antibody titers for mumps, rubeola, rubella, tetanus and diphth...

Complementary Tolls in the periodontium: how periodontal bacteria modify complement and Toll-like receptor responses to prevail in the host.

Innate immunity is a phylogenetically ancient system of host defense and represents the inherited resistance to infection (75). Until relatively recently, the innate immune response was viewed as a nonspecific and temporary expedient to buy time until the activation of adaptive immunity, which comprises the system of B and T lymphocytes, each of which expresses antigen receptors of exquisite sp...

Evaluation of humoral immunity and protective efficacy of biofilm producing Staphylococcus aureus bacterin-toxoid prepared from a bovine mastitis isolate in rabbit

Mastitis is a one of the major diseases of dairy animals. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism associated with this dairy scourge. Cure rates of mastitis associated with this pathogen are appallingly low. Biofilm is an important virulence factor and immunogenic structure of S. aureus that makes it resistant to phagocytosis and antibiotics. Reports on the efficacy of vaccine pr...

The Role of Zataria Multiflora Essence (Iranian herb) on Innate Immunity of Animal Model

Background: Herbal medicines have been used since ancient times for treatment of a range of diseases and have represented stimulatory effects on the function of innate immunity. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Zataria multiflora (Z. multiflora) on the function of innate immunity including phagocytic activity and TNF-α secretion in animal model. Methods: Eight BALB/c mice were divided int...
