Assessment of probiotics supplementation via feed or water on the growth performance, intestinal morphology and microflora of chickens after experimental infection with Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria maxima and Eimeria tenella
(2014)In this study, the effect of probiotic supplementation via drinking water or feed on the performance of broiler chickens experimentally infected with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria acervulina (5 x 10(4)), Eimeria maxima and ... -
CD8+T-cell auto-reactivity is dependent on the expression of the immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 in exposed to lipopolysaccharide antigen presenting cells and epithelial target cells
(2013)Proteasome generates peptides for presentation to CD8+ T-cells by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and peripheral cells. Inflammation alters proteasome to immunoproteasome, producing a different pool of peptides. The effect ... -
Changes in food intake and circulating leptin due to gastrointestinal parasitism in lambs of two breeds
(2008)HA reduction in food intake is a prominent feature of many infectious diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of parasite-induced anorexia in sheep are poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypotheses (a) that the ... -
Factors affecting effectiveness of vaccination against hepatitis B virus in hemodialysis patients
(2014)Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health problem. Despite the success of the general measures against blood transmitted infections in hemodialysis (HD) units, the prevalence of HBV infection among the HD patients ... -
A feed additive containing Bacillus toyonensis (Toyocerin (R)) protects against enteric pathogens in postweaning piglets
(2015)AimsThis study evaluated the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus toyonensis spores (Toyocerin((R))) in postweaning piglets against enteric pathogens. Methods and ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-two healthy weaning ... -
Foxp3 Expression in Liver Correlates with the Degree but Not the Cause of Inflammation
(2011)Patients with chronic viral hepatitis display increased expression of Foxp3 in liver, suggesting that Tregs expansion contributes to persistent infection. The purpose of this study was to elucidate whether the expression ... -
Genome-Wide Transcriptomic Analysis of Intestinal Tissue to Assess the Impact of Nutrition and a Secondary Nematode Challenge in Lactating Rats
(2011)Background: Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a major challenge to the health and welfare of mammals. Although mammals eventually acquire immunity to nematodes, this breaks down around parturition, which renders ... -
Increased Plasma Angiogenin Level is Associated and May Contribute to Decreased T-Cell Zeta-Chain Expression in Hemodialysis Patients
(2013)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are characterized by impaired T-cell function at least in part because of T-cell zeta-chain downregulation due to inflammation. Angiogenin responds as an acute phase reactant, is increased in HD ... -
Lack of association of acute phase response proteins with hormone levels and antidepressant medication in perimenopausal depression
(2014)Background: Major depression is associated with higher plasma levels of positive acute-phase proteins, as well as with lower plasma levels of negative acute-phase proteins. The aim of this study is to examine the levels ... -
Naturally occurring tumor-specific CD8(+) T-cell precursors in individuals with and without cancer
(2010)Boosting pre-existing, naturally occurring cytolytic CD8(+) T-cell (CTLs) responses directed against class-I MHC-restricted peptides of tumor antigens, represents a primary goal of cancer immunotherapy. The number of ... -
Peculiar antibody reactivity to human connexin 37 and its microbial mimics in patients with Crohn's disease
(2011)Background/aims: We found that pooled Crohn's disease (CD) sera strongly react with a human gap-junction connexin 37 (Cx37) peptide and tested for anti-Cx37 antibody reactivity in sera from CD patients and controls. We ...
