A Study on Neonatal Tolerance Against Graves' Disease in BALB/c Mice.

چکیده
IntroductIon Autoimmunity is defined as, a condition characterized by a specific humoral or cell‐mediated immune response against the constituents of the body’s own tissues (autoantigens). In numerous autoimmune diseases, such an immune response is well recognized that causes damage to the self‐constituents of body tissues by the products of the immune system. Graves’ hyperthyroidism occurs after the loss of tolerance to the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) and the generation of thyroid stimulatory antibodies that mimic the action of thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH).[1]

Background and Objectives: Rotaviruses are the most important cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children in both developed and developing countries. Rotaviruses are members of the reoviridae family and contain 11 double- stranded RNA segments. Segment 10 encodes nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4, that can induce diarrhea in newborn mice. It has been suggested that NSP4 may be a key de...

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic disease in Iran. The pentavalent antimonials as first-line drugs are losing efficacy because of side effects, disease relapse and drug resistance. Application of Lucilia sericata larvae (maggot therapy) to diabetic and refractory wounds approved to be satisfactory for accelerating healing process. In this study, th...

We evaluated the adoptive transfer of DCs on Leishmania (L.) mexicana-infected neonatal BALB/c mice. DCs were isolated and purified from the spleens of the following donor groups: a) Adult BALB/c mice infected during adulthood with L. (L) mexicana; b) Adult BALB/c mice infected during neonatal life; c) Healthy neonatal BALB/c mice; d) Healthy adult BALB/c mice. A neonatal model of infection, ge...
متن کاملAttenuation of induced hyperthyroidism in mice by pretreatment with thyrotropin receptor protein: deviation of thyroid-stimulating to nonfunctional antibodies.
Graves'-like hyperthyroidism is induced by immunizing BALB/c mice with adenovirus expressing the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) or its A-subunit. Nonantigen-specific immune strategies can block disease development and some reduce established hyperthyroidism, but these approaches may have unforeseen side effects. Without immune stimulation, antigens targeted to the mannose receptor induce tolerance...

Introduction: GP63 is a major surface protease of Leishmania promastigotes that plays an important role in its virulance. As GP63 on its own can not develop an effective protection against leishmaniasis, the goal of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of GP63 conjugated with tetanus toxoid (TT) and Vitamin D3 in susceptible BALB/c mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis. Methods: Thi...
