patients with lymphoproliferative disorders have cellular immune deficiency and are susceptible to typical and atypical mycobacterial infections.hairy cell leukemia is a b-cell type lymphoproliferative disorder.2-cda is the choice of treatment for patients with hairy cell leukemia. it is a synthetic antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressive effects.we present development of pulmonary and meni...

The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...

background: the incidence rate of breast cancer has been dramatically increasing since the last decade in iran, and it is now one of the most common female malignant tumors. b?cell lymphoma 2 (bcl2) family is the most important regulator of apoptosis, and ?938c>a single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) of bcl2 gene promoter has been demonstrated to influence breast cancer susceptibility. in this r...

severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) represents a rare group of primary immunodeficiency disorders (pids), with known or unknown genetic alterations. here, we report a new interleukin 2 receptor, gamma chain (il-2rg) mutation in an iranian scid newborn.the patient was a 6-day old boy with a family history of pid. the child was screened using a molecular-based analysis for the assessment of t...

We study 2-representations of finitary 2-categories with involution and adjunctions by functors on module categories over finite dimensional algebras. In particular, we define, construct and describe in detail (right) cell 2-representations inspired by KazhdanLusztig cell modules for Hecke algebras. Under some natural assumptions we show that cell 2-representations are strongly simple and do no...

dendritic cells (dcs) induce pathogen-specific t cell responses. we comprehensively studied the effects of addition of maturation stimulus, fibroblasts (fibroblast conditioned medium), pha activated t cells (t cell conditioned medium), and mixture of fibroblast & pha activated t cells (fcm-tccm) conditioned media on maturation of dcs. monocytes were cultured with gm-csf and il-4 for five da...

objective(s): juglone is isolated from many species of the juglandaceae family and used as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor therapeutic. here, we evaluated juglone-induced antitumor effect in ovarian cancer skov3 cells. materials and methods: mtt assay was performed to examine juglone anti-proliferative effect. cell cycle and apoptosis were studied using flow cytometry in juglone-tr...

abstract background b cells play an important role in the immune system due to production of the immunoglobulin and secreting several cytokines. it has been shown that b cells produced successfully in the presence of stem cell factor (scf) and flt3 ligand (flt3l). il2, il7, and il15 cytokines as  -common family have an essential cytokines may support either synergistically or in an additi...
