ERAP1, ERAP2 and LNPEP are aminopeptidases implicated in autoimmune pathophysiology. Here, we demonstrate that is upregulated ERAP1 downregulated patients with psoriasis who homozygous for autoimmune-linked variants of ERAP. We also aminopeptidase expression not uniform the skin. Specifically, intracellular antigen-processing were strongly expressed basal early spinous layer keratinocytes, whil...

an interference is observed between whooping-cough antigens and salk polioc vaccine even if the two components are mixed immediately before use. the phenomenon is more evident when flulid antigens are injected. pertussis soluble antigen, which gives a good serological response in rabbits, when used alone or combined with dt, is inactivated in the presence of salk polio vacc:ne

background: toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite on which studies are pending regarding production of vaccine. to date, the production of human vaccine has not been successful where approximately one third of the world’s population is thought to be infected with t. gondii. objectives: the present study was designed to compare the electrophoretic patterns of t. gon...

background recommendations to immunize healthcare workers (hcws) against hepatitis b are well known. however, a proportion of individuals do not respond to the primary standard three-dose hb vaccination schedule. conclusions both the single- and double-dose hb vaccines were adequately immunogenic, and the double-dose hb vaccine was not significantly more immunogenic than the single-dose vaccine...

background: toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects all mammalian cells. several antigens such as excreted/secreted antigens have been identified as a potential vaccine candidate. objective: to determine how excreted/secreted antigens from peritoneal exudates of infected mice (mesa) stimulate cell-mediated immune responses and induce protective immunity against toxo...

background and objective: presence of hepatitis b core antibody (anti-hbc) in the absence of hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and hepatitis b surface antibody (anti-hbs) is defined, as isolated anti-hbc. little is known about the clinical significance of the isolated anti-hbc in hepatitis b virus (hbv) infections. the aim of this study was to assess the significance of anti-hbc as the only m...

ticks are important ectoparasites which are a considerable threat to human beings and to animals all overthe world. enormous economic losses annually occur in livestock production around the world as a result oftheir existance. one of the ways to control ticks and tick-borne diseases is to introduce resistance to theseectoparasites through immunization. for identification of the putative protec...
