Humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to varicella-zoster (V-Z) virus were assessed in patients during and after V-Z infections. Ongoing V-Z infections was associated with minimal cellular immunity but not necessarily with poor humoral immunity. Recovery from V-Z infection was associated with a vigorous cellular immune response. Cell-mediated immunity to V-Z virus was demonstrable for year...

experimental autoimmune vitiligo was induced by the intradermal injection of the purified mushroom tyrosinase emulsified in complete freund’s adjuvant (cfa) in female c57bl/6 mice. the onset of vitiligo was characterized by hair hypopigmentation and total melanocyte depletion in the basal layer of the epidermis. oral administration of semipurified mushroom tyrosinase prevented experimental auto...

objective: some evidence suggests that chronic uptake of estragole and methyl-eugenol, found in the essential oil of artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-carcinogenicity. the present study was conducted to investigate the immumodulatory and anti-inflammatory potentials of estragole and methyl-eugenol free extract of tarragon. materials and methods...

background: echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease of humans and various herbivorous domestic animals transmitted by the contact with domestic and wild carnivores,mainly dogs and foxes. the aim of this study is the production, purification and evaluation immunogenicity of new construction of eg95 protein. methods: the recombinant plasmid pet32-a+ used for eg95 expression was constructed...

The induction of a balanced immune response targeting the major structural proteins, Gag and Env of HIV, is important for the development of an efficacious vaccine. The use of DNA plasmids expressing different antigens offers the opportunity to test in a controlled manner the influence of different vaccine components on the magnitude and distribution of the vaccine-induced cellular and humoral ...

the prevalence of hepatitis c virus (hcv) is approximately 3% around the world. this virus causes chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. the effectiveness of interferon-α and ribavirin therapy is about 50% and is associated with significant toxicity and cost. hence, generating new vaccines or drugs is an obligation. however, there is no vaccine available for clinical u...
