Background. Vaccination against pandemic influenza poses significant challenges as the viral strain that will be responsible for the next influenza pandemic is unpredictable. Given the time lag between initiation of a pandemic and significant vaccine production, a pandemic vaccine will rarely be available until after significant viral circulation has occurred. One possible strategy to circumven...

Lymphohematopoiesis, cell matrix adhesion, homing of leukocytes, T cell activation, and tumor metastasis are mediated through the CD44 family of cell surface receptors. We have recently shown that anti-CD44 mAb trigger protein tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of T cell effector functions. Here, we show that hyaluronate (HA), a CD44 ligand, in conjunction with CD3/TCR-mediated stimuli, is co...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major legume crops grown in Pakistan having a considerable importance as a food, feed and fodder but due to imbalanced use of fertilizers its production is low. To find the optimum level of Phosphorus and FYM for chickpea and study their effect on agronomic characteristics an experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricul...

Although candidate genes controlling autoimmune disease can now be identified, a major challenge that remains is defining the resulting cellular events mediated by each locus. In the current study we have used NOD-InsHA transgenic mice that express the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) as an islet Ag to compare the fate of HA-specific CD8+ T cells in diabetes susceptible NOD-InsHA mice with that obs...

There was studied the effect of humic fertilizers on yield and quality potatoes irrigated dark chestnut soils Saratov Zavolzhye in 2018-2020. The object research Rosara variety released Volga region. For foliar treatments there were used products manufactured by Life Force Group LLC. It has been established that, average, three-fold treatment with Reasil Micro Hydro Mix over three years increas...

The mass production of red chili was 95,541 t/ha (2016), increased to 100,997 (2017), decreased 91,541 (2018), while in 2019 it 104,667 and 20,997 t/ha. method this study a randomized block design (RBD) with 1 factor, 3 treatments, namely P0 = cow manure 20 t/ha, 5 kg/bed, P1 trichocompost P2 vermicompost t/ ha, 5kg/bed. Based on the results can be concluded that treatment Trichocompost at dose...

Agroindustrial wastes such as spent grain, cocoa husk, rice bran and sawdust, unamended and amended with cattle, poultry and goat droppings were studied as to their effect on growth, fruit yield and nutrient composition of tomato (Lycopersicum escutentum Mill) in two experiments. Analysis of the wastes showed varying nutrient composition with C:N values of 11.1, 12.5, 23.3 and 18.2 respectively...

Previously, the mouse A20 B-cell lymphoma engineered to express hemagglutinin (HA) antigen (A20HA) was used as a systemic tumor model. In this work, we used the A20HA cells as a brain tumor. HA-specific CD4(+) T cells were transferred intravenously in a tail vein 5 days after A20HA intracranial inoculation and analyzed on days 2, 9, and 16 after the adoptive transfer by different methods. The t...

in order to study on the effect of nitrogen, vermicompost and nitroxin biofertilizer on growth indices and phenology of sesame a field experiment was carried out at behbahan in summer of 2009. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment based on rcbd with three replications. three rates of nitrogen fertilizer (50, 75 and 100% of region recommended nitrogen rate,) as a first factor, three...

in order to understand the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizer on stigma yield, corm characterstics and leaf dry matter yield (as a forage) of saffron (crocus sativus l.), an experiment was conducted in the research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in 2005-2009; as a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replicatio...
