Assessment of Animal Trials Conducted on Protectivity of Potential Sub-unit and Recombinant Vaccines against Pasteurella multocida B:2
Abstract: Haemorrhagic septicaemia, caused by Pasteurella multocida serotypes B:2 and E:2, is an acute, fatal and septicaemic disease of bovines occurring as catastrophic epizootics in most tropical regions of Asia and Africa. As chemotherapeutic treatment of P. multocida infections is expensive and ineffective, prevention of disease outbreaks following immunization is the most potent tool. Although, various vaccine formulations as alum precipitated, oil adjuvant, multiple emulsion and live attenuated vaccines are currently …

Transmission, Immune Response, and Immunomodulation in Giardiasis
Abstract: Giardiasis is a major public health problem at least in terms of morbidity in many geographical areas of the world. There are regional pockets in developing countries where prevalence rate of giardiasis is much higher than other parasitic diseases. The prevalence of Giardia intestinalis in symptomatic diarrhoeal cases vary from place to place and also from time to time. The overall prevalence generally ranges from 2 to 57% and mainly …

New Topics in Serum Copeptin Levels in Hypertension: Is There an Interrelation with Inflammatory Biomarkers?
Abstract: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the link between serum copeptin (Cop) levels and hypertension is related to low grade of inflammation and atherosclerosis indices. This observational cross section study was done in the Department of Biology, College of Science at the University of Al-Mustansiriya in Baghdad, Iraq. A total number of 18 healthy subjects (Group I) and 66 patients (Group II) were enrolled in this study. Patients …

A Single-domain Antibody Cross-reacts with Lipopolysaccharide from Diverse Gram-negative Bacteria
Abstract: Gram-negative bacterial sepsis and endotoxemia are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans worldwide, and attempts have continued to design rational therapies. Endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been produced, but are not free from problems. Single-domain antibodies (dAbs), constructed from the camelid and the shark ‘heavy chain antibodies’ by phage display technology possess favorable features for in vivo applications. The objective of this study …
