Survivin, a 16.5 kDa tumor associated antigen, is the smallest member of the inhibitor of apoptosis family that is abundantly expressed during development but essentially absent in normal adult tissues. Interestingly, ...

Anaplasma is a tick-borne ehrlichial pathogen of cattle that causes the disease, anaplasmosis. In the present study, a total of 11 Anaplasma marginale seronegative calves were assigned into two groups: one immunized (G1, ...

Aiming to evaluate some parameters to influence the immune response to DNA vaccination, we compare three protocols of DNA immunization (i.m. injections, i.m. injections followed by electroporation, and the effect of i.p. ...

Advances in reading, writing and editing DNA are providing unprecedented insights into the complexity of immunological systems. This combination of systems and synthetic biology methods is enabling the quantitative and ...

The immune response has relevant physiological functions both in the male and female reproductive system, and must be tightly controlled to achieve a successful pregnancy. Several immune factors have been related to ...

Background: Host innate immune cells have been identified as key players in the early eradication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and in the maintenance of an anti-mycobacterial immune memory, which we and others have shown ...
