background: hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of e. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. therefore, who recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (hb) treatment by determination of cd15s and cd11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  in addition, this study describes changes in cd77 and cd34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. materials and methods:expression of cd11b and cd...

capture elisa system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of vl patients. urine samples from confirmed vl cases from yemen, nepal, spain, sudan and brazil were tested in the capture elisa in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...

To determine the role of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1)/very late activation antigen 4 (VLA-4) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1)/lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) interactions in causing antigen-induced eosinophil and T cell recruitment into the tissue, we studied the effect of the in vivo blocking of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, VLA-4, and LFA-1 by pretreatment with ...
