Plant proteins with domains rich in leucine repeats play important roles detecting pathogens and triggering defense reactions, both at the cellular surface for pattern-triggered immunity cell to ensure effector-triggered immunity. As intracellular parasites, viruses are mostly detected intracellularly by a nucleotide binding site leucine-rich but receptor-like kinases repeats, known localize su...

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to determine whether rubella immunity infers measles immunity in pregnant women. METHODS Stored serum samples were obtained from the Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory for evaluation of rubella and measles immunities with IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Nine hundred serum samples were obtained for testing. The average age of the women at the t...

Adaptive immunity towards tuberculosis (TB) has been extensively studied for many years. In addition, in recent years the profound contribution of innate immunity to host defence against this disease has become evident. The discovery of pattern recognition receptors, which allow innate immunity to tailor its response to different infectious agents, has challenged the view that this arm of immun...

Kadha is a traditional drink with variety of medicinal benefits. It has been utilized in India since ancient times, but the corona pandemic 2020 brought it to forefront. As we are all aware that prevention preferable treatment, improving body's natural defense system (immunity) crucial maintaining good health. Ayurveda, as science life, promotes nature's gifts sustaining The plants play supplem...

Among reactions of innate immunity, resistance of human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) to viral infection seems important. The purpose of our study was to find, which of the subpopulations of PBL is the most responsible for the innate antiviral immunity of these cells. The innate immunity was measured by using the direct method of infection of leukocytes with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)...
