this study was conducted to compare the effects of different illumination programs on the cellular and humoral immune system using 320 one day–old male broilers (arian 386) in a completely randomized design of 8 replications (10 birds each). the four assayed lighting schedules were comprised of: 1- continuous lighting (control), 2- decrease then sudden increase of lighting, 3- decreasing-gradua...

Lymph node–targeting adjuvant AMP-CpG enhances SARS-CoV-2 RBD vaccine-induced cellular and humoral immune responses.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women. Common cancer treatment methods are not effective enough, and there is a need for a more efficient treatment procedure. Cancer vaccine is a novel immunotherapy method that stimulates humoral and/or cellular immunity against cancer. Placenta-specific protein 1 (PLAC1) is a cancer/testis antigen, prevalent in breast cance...

the effects of methanolic extract and leaf powder of artemisia annua were studied on performance, cellular and humoral immunity in 240 cobb broiler chicks in a completely randomized design. control group did not receive any treatment. the chicks in the second and third groups were fed with feed which contained 2000 and 4000 ppm plant extract in diet and in the groups 4, 5 and 6 chicks received ...

objectives: the aim of the present study was to investigate immunotoxic effect of safranal (saf), a main component of crocus sativus essential oil, using balb/c mice. materials and methods: saf was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 0.1, 0.5 and 1 ml/kg for 3 weeks. hystopathological examination of spleen and bone marrow, cellularity of spleen, delayed type of hypersensitivity (dth) res...

conclusions our results demonstrated that r-fla-a could induce cellular and humoral immune response as proper stimulant of poly-isotypic humoral responses. results immunized mice with adjuvanted flagellin showed a considerably increased lymphocyte proliferation compared with the control group (p = 0.004). high level of il-4 and ifn-γ secretion was observed in immunized mice compared with the co...
