background: the aim of the present study was to investigate the immunomodulation effects of aqueous garlic extract (age) in the cultured macrophages infected by leishmania major . methods: after j774 macrophages proliferation in rpmi1640 and incubation with leishmania for 72 hours, age was added in doses of 9.25, 18.5, 37, 74 and 148 mg/ml for 18, 24 and 48 hours and cell culture supernatants w...

  The sporozoites of Theileria annulata invade bovine MHC II cells, where they differentiate into schizonts. The later can immortalize and induce fundamental changes in their host cells. Live attenuated vaccine is an important way of controlling T. annulata infection of cattle. Production is by prolonged cultivation of macroschizont-infected cells. The mechanisms underlying this transformation ...

Enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. Group B coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. Genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA) for detection of such viruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) was de...

neospora caninum is a coccidian protozoan parasite which is a major cause of bovine abortions and neonatal mortality in cattle, sheep, goat and horse. occasionally, cultured cells are used for isolation and multiplication of the agent in vitro with several purposes. in this study the tachyzoite yields of n. caninum were compared in various cell cultures as the host cell lines. among the cell cu...

Abstract BACKGROUND: In vitroexperiments in which HIV-infected CD4 +T cells are co-cultured with natural killer (NK) yield incomplete elimination of the infected cells. We therefore hypothesize that cell-intrinsic pathways differentially regulated to mediate resistance NK cell-mediated killing. METHODS: Mock-infected and HIV-89.6-infected from 6 HIV −donors were overnight +/− autologous Followi...
