Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess a wide range of immunomodulatory functions mostly in immune cells including dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the key cells in the immune response and play an important role in initiating cell-mediated immunity. Objective: To evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of MSCs supernatant on maturation and function of DCs. Methods: Bone marrow derived m...

in the present study, seven isolates of haemophilus influenzae type b were cultured in four different media to compare growth rate and capsule production. four liquid media namely brain heart infusion broth (bhi), trypticase soy broth (tsb), mueller hinton broth (mhb) and gonococci broth (gc) with added supplements (1% hemoglobin, 1% isovitalex) were used. the growth was measured by colony coun...

introduction: decidua as the nearest mother's tissue layer to the fetus which is in direct contact with the embryo has an important role in composing the appropriate microenvironment for protection of allogenic fetus from mother's immune response. in this study the effect of supernatant from culture of decidual cells on dendritic cells regarding the induction of t-cell allogenic proliferation r...

Halophilic archaea are known as the novel producers of natural products and their supernatant metabolites could have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. In the present study, we screened the anticancer potential of supernatant metabolites from eight native haloarchaeal strains obtained from a culture collection in Iran. Five human cancer cell lines including breast, lung, prostate and also human...
