Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) has been reported in many countries in the world. The IBH or similar cases characterized by hepatitis and presence of intra-nuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes have not been reported in broiler chickens in Iran. This is the first report on outbreak of adenovirus-like inclusion body hepatitis in Iran. On October 2012, an onset of high acute mortality in a flock...

Background:Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Oocyte-like cells in vitro is challenging. Successful derivation of oocyte from stem cells can provide an alternative source for curing ovogenesis problems. The current study aims to demonstrate a new protocol with two different types of media for differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into oocyte-like cells ...

Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine repeat tract in the huntingtin protein. Polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin forms intranuclear as well as perinuclear inclusion bodies. Perinuclear aggregates formed by polyglutamine-expanded proteins are associated with a characteristic indentation of the nuclear envelope. We exami...

In vitro studies of obligate intracellular chlamydia biology and pathogenesis are highly dependent on the use of experimental models and growth conditions that mimic the mucosal architecture and environment these pathogens encounter during natural infections. In this study, the growth of Chlamydia trachomatis genital serovar E was monitored in mouse fibroblast McCoy cells and compared to more r...

By GEOFFREY M. BiurriN, YASUKAZU TANAKA AND GEORGE Biuicim n M ANY DISTINCTIVE inclusion bodies have been described in the plasma cells of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases and in plasma cell tumors. Most of these structures have been in the cytoplasm of the plasma cell, and hematologists are familiar with Russell bodies,’ Mott cells,’ “grape cells,”2 “morula cells,”3 and crystalline precipi...

Biopsies from human prostates were obtained from normal and hyperplastic glands. The intracellular concentrations of calcium, zinc, and magnesium were analyzed using X-ray microanalysis of freeze-dried cryosections. Two prostate biopsies were obtained from kidney donors, ages 19 and 50 years, without any sign of benign nodular hyperplasia. The normal tissues were frozen within 15 min after circ...
