Abstract:

Epidemiological studies suggest that both retinoid and carotenoid intakes are inversely correlated with the incidence of human cancers. Animal studies show that both retinoids and carotenoids inhibit tumor cell growth. Both retinoids and carotenoids activate the cytotoxicity function of macrophages in animal experiments. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the molecular mechanism for 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cRA) and beta-carotene (BC) induced immunomodulation which could explain their anti-cancer affects. The effects of 13-cRA and BC were studied on various subpopulations of T-lymphocyte

Abstract:

Bovine mastitis is one of the most costly dairy-based diseases worldwide. Streptococcus uberis is a prevalent causative organism of mastitis and resides naturally in the environment of the dairy cow making prevention of the disease difficult. New strategies need to be developed to control this pathogen. However, a fundamental understanding of the complex relationships that exist between the cow, the pathogen and the environment are required in order to advance the development of prevention strategies. Microarray technology was used to evaluate the complex transcriptional changes which occur in

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The design and development of effective anti-viral immunotherapies requires a comprehensive understanding of the cellular and molecular processes that are involved in the generation and regulation of immune responses. The fundamental objective of the immune system is to successfully complete the task of eliminating/controlling the invading pathogen without causing overt pathology. Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are large DNA viruses that are able to evade immune attack and persist lifelong within the host. In a healthy host, CMV causes an asymptomatic infection, but in instances

Abstract:

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are ubiquitous in nature, having evolved over many millenia with their hosts. While in healthy hosts most infections with CMV are asymptomatic, the virus can cause severe disease in immunocompromised hosts. Thus, the increase in organ transplantation and the HIV/AIDS pandemic have established human CMV (HCMV) as a clinically important pathogen. Indeed, HCMV infections are now the major cause of morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised patients, which has led to more research targeting CMV for effective anti-viral treatment.

Abstract:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen affecting over 95% of the worlds population. While infection is typically asymptomatic in healthy individuals, the virus persists life-long in its host and can be reactivated following withdrawal of immune control. As such, it remains a serious clinical concern in individuals who are immunocompromised, such as newborns and neonates, transplant and/or chemotherapy recipients, and HIV/AIDS patients. CMV also has the ability to cause immunosuppression, the mechanisms of which include defective antigen presentation to T cells and interference with ha

Abstract:

Mutations in the p53 gene are known to be associated with a wide range of human tumors. In some primary tumors and established cell lines, stable mutant p53 protein is expressed at high levels, whereas, in normal cells unstable wild-type p53 protein is expressed at very low levels. Sera from some patients with breast and colon tumors contain anti-p53 antibodies. It is unclear whether changes in p53 structure, or its increased level in tumors, causes p53 to become antigenic. In our study we tested sera from patients with various types of cancer for anti-p53 antibodies. Examination of the sera w

Abstract:

Human infections with influenza A virus (IAV) exhibit mild to severe clinical outcomes as a result of differential virus-host interactions. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that may sense carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids derived from infected hosts or the invading microbes including bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. CLR-viral interaction may lead to increased viral entry and spread; furthermore, their interactions have been reported to trigger downstream signaling that further modulates host’s innate immune responses through the induction of pro-inflamma

CD23 is believed to play an important role in regulating allergic responses and in inflammation, amongst others. β2 integrins are important in a variety of cell-adhesion reactions during immune-inflammatory mechanisms and the binding of their natural ligands generates outside-in cellular signalling, leading to cell activation.
