Immune infertility, in terms of reproductive failure, has become a serious health issue involving approximately 1 out of 5 couples at reproductive age. Semen that is defined as a complex fluid containing sperm, cellular vesicles and other cells and components, could sensitize the female genital tract. The immune rejection of male semen in the female reproductive tract is explained as the failur...

Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder that commonly found in the community. The causes of vitiligo are multifactorial such as genetic and environmental factors accompanied by presence non-specific specific immune system factors. Melanocytes main target exposed reactive oxygen species (ROS) during process melanogenesis. Such exposure can cause loss homeostasis cell death has implications for vit...

To assess the sensitivity of Gardnerella vaginalis to the complement mediated bactericidal activity of serum, six laboratory strains were incubated with normal human serum and two strains freshly isolated from women with non-specific vaginitis (NSV) were each incubated with homologous patient serum. There was no significant difference between the number of organisms recovered from unheated or h...

Let L be a countable first-order language and M = (M, . . .) be an L-structure. “Definable set” means a subset of M which is L-definable in M with parameters. A set X ⊆ M is said to be immune if it is infinite and does not contain any infinite definable subset. X is said to be partially immune if for some definable A, A∩X is immune. X is said to be totally non-immune if for every definable A, A...

Memory formation is the most important aspect of a vaccine which can guarantee long-lasting immunity and protection. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the memory immune responses after immunization with a mini vaccine. Mice were immunized with human immunodeficiency virus-1 P24-Nef fusion peptide and then cellular and humoral immune responses were evaluated. In order to determin...

Activation and proliferation of antigen-specific T cells is the hallmark of an anti-viral immune response. Effector T cells generated during an immune response are heterogeneous in regards to their ability to populate the memory pool once the immune response has resolved. Initial T cell activation takes place in the lymphoid organs, after which T cells migrate into the non-lymphoid tissues. The...

Cellular cooperation between different lymphoid cell populations is a characteristic feature of many immune responses (1, 2). The classes of lymphoid cells which have been shown to collaborate have been divided into two major groups: thymus-derived (T cell) 1 and bone marrow-derived (B cell) lymphocytes. Synergism between T cell and B cell components has been demonstrated for (a) humoral respon...

With the decline in the frequency of rhesus isoimmunisation, hydrops fetalis secondary to other factors is becoming increasingly recognised. We describe a case in association with chorioangioma of the placenta. The causes of non immune hydrops are reviewed and the problems of management discussed.
