چکیده

A transmissible agent (AHA) causing ascites and hepatitis in mice has been described. No known pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, leptospira, rickettsia, or viruses have been demonstrated in the infected mice. AHA does not pass through a Seitz filter and differs in most respects from the agents previously described which produce hepatitis in mice.

HSP Roles as Biomarkers and Antigens in Bacterial and Viral Infections

Diagnosis of infectious diseases remains an important issue in medical science. Identification of biomarkers can be used to predict early infections. Recently, heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been known as the conserved compounds expressed under stress conditions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. These proteins act as molecular chaperones. Several studies showed the increased levels o...
