background lactoferrin is a multipurpose protein of the transferrin domestic. it is a spherical glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80 kda which is widely found in secretory discharges, such as milk, saliva, tear, and nasal secretions. lactoferrin is also found in secondary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmn) and is released by some acinar cells. it also shows antibacterial...

background: to evaluate the immunological properties of leishmania major excreted- secreted (e-s) products on the progress of leishmaniasis in susceptible balb/c mice. methods: promastigotes of the leishmania major were cultured and e-s products were collected during the culture preiod. groups of balb/c mice (n= 12) were immunized with e-s products or whole antigen. animals were challenged with...

background: leptospirosis has been recognized as an important reemerging infectious disease caused by pathogenic leptospira spp. a major challenge of this disease is the application of a basic research to improve diagnostic method. outer membrane proteins of leptospira are potential candidates that could be useful in diagnosis. among them the lipl41 is an immunogenic protein which is present on...

background:isolates of staphylococcus aureus express a myriad of adhesive surface proteins that play important role in colonization of the bacteria on nasal and skin surfaces, beginning the process of pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to screen several of the microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (mscramms) genes among the isolate of s. aureus from hospitalize...

introduction: ultra low dose (uld) morphine induces hyperalgesia which is mediated by excitatory gscoupled opioid receptors. this study was designed to investigate the development of tolerance to hyperalgesic effect of morphine. also we attempt to seek possible similarity, in view of gs proteins, between hyperalgesic effect of uld and hyperalgesic effect after tolerance to hd. method: male wist...

Subfamily ABCC contains thirteen members and nine of these transporters are referred to as the Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs). The MRP proteins found throughout nature they mediate many important functions. They known be involved in ion transport, toxin secretion, signal transduction [7, 2].
