INTRODUCTION Interleukin 4 was co-found by Maureen Howard and William E. Paul and by Dr. Ellen Vitetta and her examination bunch in 1982. The nucleotide succession for human IL-4 was secluded four years after the fact affirming its similitude to a mouse protein called B-cell stimulatory component 1 (BCSF-1). Cytogenetic Location: 5q31.1 Molecular Location on chromosome 5: base pairs 132,673,986 to 132,682,678 (Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) The…

antigen called prostatic acid phosphates, present in the majority of prostate cancers. Before a dose is administered, a procedure called a leukapheresis must be carried out. During this process, blood from the patient is filtered and platelets and monocytes are removed and of the results is antigen producing cells, or APCs. The APCs are incubated with a protein that bind to them and are broken into smaller units that can cause the immune system to attack the prostatic acid phosphates. The cells…

of adult stem cells that have been demonstrated in vitro or in vivo. • Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all the types of blood cells: red blood cells, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and macrophages. • Neural stem cells in the brain give rise to its three major cell types: nerve cells (neurons) and two categories of non-neuronal cells—astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. c. Role of embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem…

Ebola virus disease EVD or “Ebola” is a severe human and non-human primate disease caused by Ebola viruses. These viruses belongs to the family: Filoviridae, Genus: Ebolavirus, Species: Tai forest ebolavirus (TAFV), Reston ebolavirus (RESTV), Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) and Bundibugy ebolavirus (BOBV) (Bukreyev et al., 2014). Zaire ebolavirus or simply Ebola virus (EBOV) is the most virulent of the genus and accounts for the highest numbers of outbreaks. The virus spreads by…

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic auto – immune disease that is believed to be inherited and most common in women. There are seven types of Psoriasis (Plaque Psoriasis, Guttate Psoriasis, Inverse Psoriasis, Pustular Psoriasis, Erythrodemic Psoriasis, Nail Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis), but the most common is Plaque Psoriasis and it affects 4 million people in the United States. It is characterized by raised, inflamed, patchy, red skin covered with white scales that is cause by an excess of…

Heart Disease in Women and their Unique Symptoms of a Heart Attack Introduction: Heart attacks are a very serious condition of the human body that require immediate attention. Heart attacks are known in the medical community as myocardial infarctions: myo- means muscle, cardio- means heart, -al means pertaining to; infarct means death of tissue (med term book). The parts come together as: tissue death pertaining to heart muscle (med term book). Each year, around one and half million cases of…

1.Introduction: Background/Aim. 1.1 Nature of the microorganism: Enterococcus faecalis was placed under group D streptococci because of similar lysis characters; Identified as Gram positive, non-motile, anaerobic fermentative, lactic acid bacteria; are commensal inhabitant of intestinal bacteria and opportunistic pathogens. They occur singly or in pairs or chains. 1.2 Economic importance: Enterococcus faecalis is also used as a probiotic for production of Mediterranean cheese and meat products…

Stem Cells One of the biggest ethical and scientific debates in the scientific communities involves Stem Cell research. Stem cells are cells with the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body. They can serve as a type of internal repair system for the body. They are distinguished from other cells because they are unspecialized and are capable of renewing themselves through cell division. Also, under physiologic or experimental conditions they can be induced to become tissue…

There were white blood cells from all over the body. Even immune cells that didn’t mainly attack, viruses joined in. Macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, you name it. A bunch of lymphocyte immune cells entered the battle. He recognized one of them as Ugly poo. Ugly poo entered the battle, engulfing virions as fast as he could. Loser watched in…

and Yp is currently considered to be a re-emerging pathogen (6). Endemic Yp infection occurs in both rural and urban areas where rodents and humans come into contact. Yp infects and proliferates in the lymph nodes of humans and can reside in monocytes and neutrophils by suppressing or subverting the immune system (7). This can then lead to systemic and fatal infection (7).…
