The present study was aimed to investigate the protective effects of camel milk against pathogenicity induced by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and E. coli in Wistar rats. Sixty healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (10 per group). Group 1 served as a control without any treatment. Group 2 received camel milk for two consecutive weeks. Group 3 injected intraperitoneally...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder induced by autoantibodies against type XVII collagen (COL17). COL17-reactive CD4+ T cells have been shown to play important role in the pathogenesis of BP. However, characteristics pathogenic remain unclear. In this study, we sought establish cell clones and elucidate their pathogenicity. First, immunized wild-type mice with human COL...

Accurate definition and usage of terminology are critical to effective communication in science. In a recently published article, the clarity and consistency of the terms pathogenicity and virulence as used in invertebrate pathology were called into question, and a revision of these terms was proposed. Our objective was to examine definitions of pathogenicity and virulence and their use in inve...

Human plasminogen, plasma, or serum increased the pathogenicity of six streptokinase-positive streptococcal strains for mice. Combinations of commercial streptokinase and plasminogen or streptokinase and plasma did not usually increase mouse mortality to a greater degree than did plasminogen or plasma alone, suggesting that the maximal effective amount of streptokinase was produced by the organ...

Isolation, cultivation and growth characteristic stu dies on the ICRC bacillus have been reported in a series of publications since 1958 ( 1. ~. (; ). Pathogenicity of the cultivated organism was fi rst discussed in 1962 (V) . The experimental work of ten years on human leprosy was later reviewed at a Ciba Foundation Study Group Meeting in London (S). The present report describes and discusses ...

The pathogenicity of a Nervous Necrosis Virus isolate obtained from naturally infected Golden grey mullet (Liza auratus) suffering serious mortalities in Iranian coastline water of the Caspian Sea was investigated for first time. An experimental infection has been performed using three groups, two experimental groups and one control group of Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) with mean weight 0.47±0.0...
