Background: Herpes simplex virus type 1 is one of the most common viruses among human population. Studies demonstrate the essential role of cell mediated immunity, especially CD8+ T cells, in prevention and clearance of HSV1. Objective: It is of great importance to improve our knowledge about the kinetics of CTL responses to primary and secondary HSV-1 infection. Methods: Using a sensitive tech...

objective(s) quinazolinones are heterocyclic compounds, with biological and pharmacological activities, such as inhibiting some proteins, enzymes and reducing blood lipids. materials and methods following previous results of our group, effects of two new derivatives of quinazolinones 9(3)-quinazolinone-2-propyl-2-phenylethyl (qppe) and 9(3)-quinazolinone-2-ethyl-2-phenylethyl (qepe) on livers, ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a highly lipidic phytocannabinoid with remarkable anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate CBD’s effects and mechanisms action in the treatment mice subjected acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). aGVHD induced by transplantation bone marrow cells splenocytes from C57BL-6j Balb-c mice. recipient were treated daily CBD, reduced mouse mortality decr...

Abstract Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating autoimmune disease brought on by self-reactive, myelin-specific T effector cells. Immunosuppressants are the most utilized tool to combat progression; however, they bring unwanted side effects. We have previously published novel gene immunotherapy that uses an adeno-associated virus (AAV) containing full sequence of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprot...

objective(s): to appraise the antihepatotoxic efficacy of ethanolic extract of operculum turpethum root on the liver of swiss albino mice.   materials and methods:   hepatic fibrosis was induced in adult male albino mice through intraperitoneal administrations of n-nitrosodimethylamine (ndma) at the concentration of 10 mg/kg body weight. the liver toxicity and therapeutic effect of the plant et...

Background: To determine the effect of ovarian stimulation on the height of the epithelial cells of fallopian tubes and development of ovarian follicles and corpus luteum in NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: Forty female NMRI mice of 6 to 8 weeks were selected and divided into 4 groups: control group, 10 mice that were injected with saline. The second group of 10 mice that were injected with 7 ...

In this study, the therapeutic effect of Mel-incubated Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis was investigated. Mice with were intraperitoneally injected 8% CCl4 twice a week for 4 weeks. Starting from 5, mice in ADSC group and + Mel 1 mL PBS cell suspension containing × 106 ADSCs or pretreated 50 nM 2 consecutive Results: model group, severe histopathol...

b ackground: animal models with various combination of host-parasite have long been employed to study malaria pathogenesis. here, we describe the combination of plasmodium berghei anka infec- tion in inbred icr mice as a model of cerebral malaria (cm). m ethods: infection in mice was initiated by intraperitoneal injection of 2 x 107  (0.2ml) parasitized red blood cells (prbcs). r esults: this m...

Background: Nicotine can induce sub fertility and infertility in females. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nicotine on follicular cells proliferative activity in mouse ovary. Materials and Methods: Female adult NMRI mice were divided into two groups. Animals in control group received vehicle, however in experimental group, animals were treated with 0.4mg/kg of nicotine for 1...
