the aim of this sutdy is to prepare histocompatability y(hy) antibody in female mouse at the first phase (current study), and to separate mouse embryos with regard to their sex, to be able to obtain offsprings of disired sex, by means of hy antibody, at the second phase. totally 421 balb/c inbred mice were used. antibodies were produced in females by intraperitonial injections of spleen and tes...

The coordination of T-cell migration and antigen recognition is crucial for an effective immune response. We have proposed that this coordination is achieved by formation of an immunological synapse between the T cell and the antigen-presenting cell (APC). Our view contrasts with the serial encounter model also proposed in this issue of Trends in Immunology, which is based on transient T cell-A...

emotional freedom technique (eft) as a new therapeutic technique in energy psychology has positive effects on psychological and physiological symptoms, and quality of life. in this research we studied the effect of this treatment on immunological factors. this study tested whether 8-week group sessions of eft (compared to a wait-list control group) with emphasis on patient's respiratory, psycho...

Imaging technology has undergone rapid growth with the development of super resolution microscopy, which enables resolution below the diffraction barrier of light (~200 nm). In addition, new techniques for single molecule imaging are being added to the cell biologist's arsenal. Immunologists have exploited these techniques to advance understanding of NK biology, particularly that of the immune ...

In recent years, viral epidemics such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have spread, and this outbreak is thought to be the result of animal-to-human transmission. Hence, accurate diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19 and antiviral antibodies in infected individuals are of utmost importance. This report describes the structure, history, taxonomy, and molecular and immunological techniques for...
