hydatid cyst, the larval stage of cestodes echinococcus spp., is recognized as a zoonotic infection in the world. the world health organization (who) has recently classified echinococcosis in a group of neglected tropical diseases.the prevalence of echinococcus granulosus infection is high in iran due to the presence of various intermediate hosts in this country. considering the rising trend of...

background prostate is an important male reproductive system gland and its disorders can affect men's quality of life and health. prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph), and prostate adenocarcinoma are major disorders that can be found in all men in different ages. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the association of diet with serum prostate specific antigen (psa) lev...

Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, also called bb2121), a B-cell maturation antigen–directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, has shown clinical activity with expected CAR toxic effects in patients relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

Background Tumor markers have been a valuable tool for decades to aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of oncological diseases.
 Objective To retrospectively analyze requisition pattern tumor marker requests at largest tertiary care center eastern Nepal.
 Method A retrospective hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted obtain data 5 common i.e., Alpha-Fetoprotein (...

A range of cationic delivery systems have been investigated as vaccine adjuvants, though few direct comparisons exist. To investigate the impact platform, we prepared four (emulsions, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles and solid lipid nanoparticles) all containing equal concentrations dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide in combination with Neisseria adhesin variant 3 subunit antigen. The formul...

Excretory/Secretory antigen was prepared by culturing live adult worms of Haemonchus contortus in RPMI 1640 medium at a concentration of 50 worms per mL in a culture-flask at 37 ˚C for 24 hr and the culture supernatant was used as antigen. The E/S antigen was purified by thiol-sepharose affinity chromatography. On western blot analysis, it was demonstrated that thiol-purified antigen showed a s...

introduction: development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (tb) control. in this study, the level of igg antibody responses a...

fasciolosis diagnosis, due to low sensitivity of coprological diagnostic method has been challenging for a long period. in this study, dot-elisa, one of the simplest and the most sensitive tests in this regard, was evaluated using excretory-secretory antigens of fasciola hepatica to diagnose human fasciolosis three groups consisting of patients infected with fasciolosis (n= 95), patients with o...

purification of parasitic antigens is a major activity in immunoparasitology because of its application in immunodiagnosis, vaccination analysis of immunopathology, preparation of monocolomal antibody and finding out the cross reactive antigens versus specific antigens of a parasite. in this survey f2 ultrafiltration excretory secretory antigens of ascaris lumbricoides and toxocara cati were se...

background: it is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum psa in iranian population. objective: to determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (psa) concentration and psa density (psad) and prostate volumes in a population of he...
