insect immunity comprises behavioral, physical and innate immunity. in this study, innate immune response of the greater wax moth larvae, galleria mellonella against two species of entomopathogenic nematodes, heterorhabditis bacteriophora and steinernema feltiae,   as important biocontrol agents were studied. total haemocyte count in larvae injected with h. bacteriophora increased immediately. ...

memory formation is the most important aspect of a vaccine which can guarantee long-lasting immunity and protection. the main aim of the present study was to evaluate the memory immune responses after immunization with a mini vaccine. mice were immunized with human immunodeficiency virus-1 p24-nef fusion peptide and then cellular and humoral immune responses were evaluated. in order to determin...

purpose: evaluation of humoral and cellular immune responses of naturally infected dogs against type i (rcpb) (recombinant cycsteine proteinase b), and ii (rcpa) (recombinant cycsteine proteinase a) recombinant cysteine proteinases and c-terminal extension (cte) of leishmania infantum (l. infantum). materials and methods: in this study, fourteen infected dogs (7 with symptoms, 7 asymptomatics)...

humoral immune response of vaccine-i (supermatent from sonicated sporulated oocyst), vaccine –ii (sediment from sonicated sporulated oocyst) and vaccine –iii (un-sonicated sporulated oocyst) against conccidiosis in chickens was determined by indirect haemagglutination (iha) test. iha antibody titre was significantly higher (p

Objective: The immunomodulatory effect of geranial, geranial acetate, gingerol, and eugenol essential oils were evaluated by studying humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Materials and Method: The essential oils were evaluated for immunomodulatory activity in in vivo studies, using rats as the animal model. The essential oils were tested for hypersensitivity and hemagglutination reaction...

In this study, we investigate the immunostimulatory effects of alcoholic extract of the coffee seed on cell-mediated immune response andcyclophosphamide-induced (CP) immunosuppressed mice. The assessment of cellular immune function was carried out by the measurement of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response. According to the literature survey, cyclophosphamide has only suppressing effect ...
