Aim: To identify immunodominant proteins of cystic fluid antigens and whole cyst lysate antigens of Cysticercus tenuicollis, the larval stage of the canine tapeworm Taenia hydatigena. Materials and Methods: Three numbers of cysts of C. tenuicollis were collected from the mesentry of small intestine of goats after slaughter. C. tenuicollis cysts of each sample were washed thoroughly with PBS (pH...

background: the objective of this study was to investigate hla-drb1*and dqb1* allelic polymorphisms in iranian patients with hydatidose. this is the first survey dealing with the correlation between hla-drb1* and dqb1* al-leles and cystic echinococcosis in iranian patients. methods : the study was carried out on 56 patients with confirmed cystic echi-nococcosis and 30 apparently healthy individ...

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...

Diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis is complex and has to be confirmed by the combination immunological tests imaging techniques. In this study heat shock proteins were induced their immunoreactivity was assessed ELISA. Sera collected from 34 hydatid patients who admitted Rizgary Teaching Hospital through October 2013 July 2017, in addition 29 healthy donors 18 non-hydatid cases. For response, t...

Cystic hydatid disease is caused by cystic larval (metacestode) stages of Echinococcus granulosus. This parasite can potentially occur all over the world especially in Mediterranean and Middle East countries and some parts of Africa, Latin America and China which have major foci of human infections. The cyst wall of metacestodes consists of inner, middle and external layers. To date, little att...

In order to investigate whether circulating immune complexes containing Pseudomonas aeruginosa antigens mediate pulmonary damage in cystic fibrosis, we studied lung function, serum immune complex levels, and immunoglobulin concentrations in relationship to chronic pseudomonas colonisation in 69 affected children. Sixteen of the children with cystic fibrosis had increased levels of immune comple...

Echinococcosis is an infectious disease of humans caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of the cestode species Echinococcus granulosus (cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease) or Echinococcus multilocularis (alveolar echinococcosis or alveolar hydatid disease). Clinical manifestations depend primarily on localization and size of hepatic lesions and may include hepatomegaly, obstructive jau...
