hla-g is normally expressed on human trophoblast cells. it is a non-classical mhc molecule class i b. the role of hla-g in diabetic type 1 is not known. we investigated the role of ifn-β in induction hla-g expression on the monocyte derived dendritic cells (dc) in diabetes type 1. treatment of dendritic cell with ifn-β in vitro from diabetic patients (n=20) and normal subjects (n=20) resulted t...

introduction: cytokines are a large group of proteins play a key role in inflammation. down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines has beneficial effect on heart function. propranolol, as a non selective beta-adrenergic blocker, has been extensively used for treatment of many cardiovascular problems such as arrhythmias and heart malfunction. in addition anti-inflammatory effects of propranolo...

background: human t-lymphotropic virus type i is the etiologic agent of two distinct human diseases, adult t-cell leukemia or lymphoma and a chronic, progressive demyelinating disorder. the aim of this work was to investigate the seroprevalence of htlv-1/2 among high risk patients (thalassemic and hemodialysis) in charmahal-va-baktiari province, center of iran. methods: using elisa, a total of ...

background : we investigated whether the c-819t snp of the ctla4 gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (t1d) for the egyptian population, a multi-ethnic group.  we determined if expression of the c-819t snp correlated with onset of t1d for egyptian children and the prevalence of this polymorphism with respect to gender. methods: the association of the c-819t snp in intron 1 of the ctla-4 gene...

background: the human t-cell lymphotropic virus type i is the first retrovirus idenfied in humans. the virus has been associated with adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma, human t-lymphotropic virus type i, myelopathy/tropical spasc paraparesis, uveis, arthris, pulmonary lymphocyc alveolis, keratoconjuncvis sicca, and infecous dermas. human t-lymphotropic virus type iis endemic in japan, p...

We prove a family of 3-term relations in the Grothendieck ring of the category of finite-dimensional modules over the affine quantum algebra of type G2 extending the celebrated T -system relations of type G2. We show that these relations can be used to compute classes of certain irreducible modules, including classes of all minimal affinizations of type G2. We use this result to obtain explicit...

Five types of hypersensitivity reactions have been described: types I, II, III and V depend on the interaction of antigen with antibody and have been termed immediate; type IV depends on the interaction of antigen with T lymphocytes and has been called delayed-type hypersensitivity, or DTH. The DTH reaction involves cellular activation of T-helper cells (CD4+) and/or cytotoxic T cells (CD8+ CTL...
