[ 1 ] - Innate Immunity Plays a Key Role in Leishmania Infection: Implications for Vaccine Design
Neutrophils are part of the first line of immune response and are essential for resistance against a variety of pathogens. They professionally mediate direct killing of pathogens, recruit other phagocytes by specific chemokines, produce cytokines and interact with different immune cells to shape the adaptive response. Leishmania as an obligatory intracellular parasite has evolved to benefit thi...
[ 2 ] - Expressional Comparison Between Episomal and Stable Transfection of a Selected tri-fusion Protein in Leishmania tarentolae
Introduction: Leishmania tarentolae (L. tarentolae) is a nonpathogenic species of Leishmania genus that can be used as an expression system to produce immunogenic proteins or epitopes in vivo acting as an efficient and safe recombinant live vector in vaccinology. Cysteine proteases (CPs) are one group of Family C1 peptidases in Leishmania that are important for survival of the parasite within...
[ 3 ] - تولید انگلهای نوترکیب لیشمانیا تروپیکا بیان کننده دو پروتئین گزارشگرEGFP و لوسیفراز
سابقه و هدف: انگل لیشمانیا تروپیکا عامل بروز لیشمانیوز پوستی و احشایی در ایران است. بعلت فقدان یک آزمون دقیق، حساس و غیرتهاجمی در مدل حیوانی، درمان و واکسیناسیون برعلیه آن با چالش بزرگی همراه است. لذا در این مطالعه، لیشمانیا تروپیکا با دو ژن گزارشگر پروتئین فلورسنت سبز (egfp) و لوسیفراز (luc) به شکل اتصال یافته (egfp-luc) ترانسفکت شد تا در مطالعات آتی بعنوان یک ابزار تشخیصی سریع و دقیق برای ردی...
[ 4 ] - Optimized Mouse BMDC Isolation and Culture under Endotoxin-Free Conditions
Introduction: Dendritic cells are very important in basic studies and vaccine research, but isolation and culture of these cells face challenges due to their small number in tissues. Since there is no standard method, we addressed some of the factors affecting the efficiency of dendritic cell isolation and culture from BALB/c mouse bone marrow. Materials & Methods: Bone marrow cells isolated...
