cystic echinococcosis (ce) is an infection caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. this is widely distributed through iran, where a variety of animals act as intermediate host. the immunogenic antigens (ag) of different compartments of the hydatid cyst have been already determined. one of these compartments is the laminated layer (ll). we have extracted a protein with the mw of 2...

introduction: as monoclonal antibodies are potential tools for characterization of soluble or cellular surface antigens, use of these proteins has always been considered in infertility and reproduction research. therefore, in this study, monoclonal antibodies against human sperm surface antigens were produced. material and methods: to produce specific clones against human sperm surface antigens...

cystic echinococcosis (ce) is one of the most important parasitic zoonosis worldwide. due to the high recurrence rate of the disease after surgery, follow up of the patient is necessary. the aim of current research was to assess the performance of western blotting (wb), using sheep hydatid fluid, for serological diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of human ce.serum samples obtained from 50 ...

background : an accurate and prompt diagnosis of bacterial arthritis is essential for earlier treatment and a good outcome. superantigens produced by staph. aureus are among the most lethal toxins. the paper objective was identification of common bacterial antigens and s.aureus superantigens in synovial fluid (sf) of children with negative culture and direct smear for other bacteria except for ...

background : ascaridia galli , the largest nematode of small intestine of birds, especially the native poultry, may give rise to serious illness, pathological defects and economical losses even in modern poultry production systems. although various measures have been undertaken to vaccinate poultry against a.galli , no satisfactory results were obtained so far. however, there is no report on th...

Abstract This update of the Ok (OK) blood group system (Smart EA, Storry JR. The OK system: a review. Immunohematology 2010;26:124–6) focuses on new information role basigin (BSG), carrier molecule antigens. No further antigens have been identified since original However, BSG in malaria continues to be explored. 2021;37:18–19.

Congenital cystic Adenomatoid malformation is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births.In most cases the outcome with CCAM in fetus is very good,while in some cases the outcome is very bad and can be life threatning for the fetus.we report here a case of 40 day old female infant who presented with worsening respiratory distress since birth and x ray and CT...

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be subject to complications such as bile duct injury, which seriously harm the patient or even result in death. Computer-assisted interventions have potential prevent by highlighting critical structures (cystic and cystic artery) during surgery, helping surgeon establish Critical View of Safety avoid structure misidentification.

introduction: natural killer (nk) cells, of which cd56 is a specific marker, play an important role in host defense against tumors. cancer stem cells, of which aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform 1 (aldh1) is an immunohistochemical marker, are a group of tumorigenic cells which are involved in migration and tumor recurrences. we aimed to evaluate the expression of aldh1 and cd56 in common salivary g...
