h. pylori  is a human pathogen that colonizes the epithelium of the stomach. the host immune response may influence the disease process, where cytokines play important roles in the development of disease. in this study, the concentrations of selected cytokines in the gastric antrum and stomach body mucosa and also in the serum were evaluated. eighty patients according to their rapid urease test...

background: cell mediated immunity, especially cytotoxic t cell responses against hiv-1 infection, plays a critical role in controlling viral replication and disease progres-sion. dna vaccine is a novel technology which is known to stimulate strong cellular immune responses. many dna vaccines have been tested for hiv infection but there is still no effective vaccine against this infection. cons...

the study of cytokines gene expression is quite important in various conditions of health and disease for the evaluation of clinical responses to new vaccination approaches. an absolute quantification is based on a calibration curve and production of standard controls to achieve more reliable results than in relative system. in this study we attempted to construct standard controls to evaluate ...

interferon- gamma (ifn- γ) is an important immune regulator and inflammatory cytokine which is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (ms). a single nucleotide polymorphism, t to a, at position +874 in the first intron has previously been shown. this polymorphism is associated with ifn- γ production level. to study the effect of this polymorphism on susceptibility to multiple scle...

Abstract Objective: Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key cytokine regulating the development of atherosclerosis, but little known regarding phenotype and regulation T cells producing IFN-γ in plaques. Methods: To identify characterize IFN-γ-producing we utilized IFN-γ-YFP Nur77-GFP reporter mice crossed onto an atherosclerotic background (Apoe−/−IFN-γ YFP/YFP; Apoe−/−Nur77GFP/wt), adoptive transfer tr...

the aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence of interferon-gamma (ifn- γ) gene polymorphism +874 (a/t) (rs2430561) in the susceptibility and renal complications of patients with henoch-schonlein purpura (hsp). we also studied the effects of ifn-γ allelic variation on serum levels of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in hsp patients. the  study  population  comprised  97  pa...

results the frequencies of the aa, at, and tt genotypes were 31%, 51%, and 18% in the chronic hbv patient group, and 40%, 45%, and 15% in the healthy control group, respectively. however, a lack of association of the + 874 polymorphism in the ifn-γ gene of those with chronic hbv infection was found. evaluation of hbv association with this polymorphism was significant under the dominant genetic ...

Background: Obesity is one of the most serious health problems associated with inflammation. It has been found that functional and resistance physical activities improve obesity and inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect High-intensity Functional training (HIFT) and Circuit resistance training (CRT) on serum levels of the pro-inflammatory factor interferon gamma (IFN-...

To explore the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interferon (IFN) in innate immunity against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), we detected expression TLR genes PEDV-infected IPEC-J2 cells by real-time PCR. We also level α (IFN-α) γ (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results showed that exhibited a clear pathological change after PEDV infection at 24 h. In addition, TL...
