Background: The strong association of Behcet’s disease with HLA-B5 antigen has been observed in several ethnic groups from Middle East to Far East. Objective: To evaluate the frequency and association of HLA-B5 and also likelihood ratio of involvement in Behcet’s disease in a group of Iranian patients. Patients and Methods: HLA-B5 antigen typing was performed by serologic method in 56 patients ...

Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectivenessin immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis in experimental and clinical cases in sheep by using somatic wholeadult antigen of H. contortus. Plate ELISA was standardized using 5 μg/well antigen concentration with1:100 and 1:1000 of sera and conjugate dilution. Indirect plate ELISA was able to demonstrate...

to study the immunohistochemical pattern of cd 117, glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap), smooth muscle actin (sma) and cd 43 in pleomorphic adenoma (pa), adenoid cystic carcinoma (adcc) and polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (plga) of minor salivary glands.twenty cases of pa, 20 cases of adcc and 10 cases of plga were retrieved from record files along with their paraffin blocks at armed f...

We have developed a spatial–temporal mathematical model (PDE) to capture fundamental aspects of the immune response to antigen. We have considered terms that broadly describe intercellular communication, cell movement, and effector function (activation or inhibition). The PDE model is robust to variation in antigen load and it can account for (1) antigen recognition, (2) an innate immune respon...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly infectious affecting cloven-hoofed animals and causes significant economic losses to the livestock industry. The Type O PanAsia-2 (O PA-2) vaccine strain protective against wide range of serotype FMD virus (FMDV) strains in East Asia, A22 Iraq/24/64 (A22 IRQ) most widely used antigen banks. aim this study was produce antigens from PA-2 IRQ viruses using ...

background: efficient screening for detection of colorectal cancer (crc) at earlier stages reduces its mortality. the purpose of this study was to investigate expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (htert) mrna in peripheral blood of crc patients and to present strategies for early detection screen test. methods: twenty seven patients in non-meta...

abstract background thalassemia patients that are conventionally treated by a regular transfusion regimen are exposed to blood born viral infections.the aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of hepatitis b virus (hbv), hepatitis c virus (hcv) , and human immunodeficiency virus(hiv) among all multitransfused thalassemia patients in west north of iran. material and methods a ret...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Prior evidence from our studies have identified chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3) as a key modulator to increase DC vaccine migration draining lymph nodes (VDLNs) which is associated with improved long-term survival clinically. METHODS The effect of CCL3 treatment on ex vivo and in (n=5), antigen-specific T cell responses efficacy against orthotopic GL261-OVA SMA560 tumors (n=10) ...
