The aim of the study was to determine and compare the proximate, mineral, amino acid compositions of the aerial parts and roots of B. procumbens. The result of carbohydrate (75.56±0.046%) of aerial parts was found higher as compared to the roots (31.22±0.05%) while protein (37.46±0.02%) and organic matter (21.25±0.03%) was recorded higher in roots than the aerial parts of B. procu...

Fecal samples from fifteen patients and five healthy individuals were collected. PCR-DGGE, by using universal primers focusing V3 region of 16S rRNA gene, was performed for characterization of gut microbial composition. Sequencing of most dominant excised gel bands was done.

Quercetin (P<0.05) significantly reduced the level of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4 and IL-5 cytokines and increased the level of IFN-π in allergic asthma mice caused by OVA. In contrast, there was no significant effect in the body weight of mice treated with quercetin....

Here, we report the generation of a fluorescent functional AGR2 fusion protein as a powerful visual tracking tool to trace the external function of AGR2. This bioactive and auto-fluorescent his-tag recombinant AGR2-DsRed (hAD) protein was constructed by linking human AGR2 C-terminus with the red fluo...

The number of T cell subsets was detected by flow cytometry, the protein expression was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the gene expression was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. In addition, in vitro experiments with Jurkat cells were used to verify the effect of methylase inhibitor 5-Aza-2’-deoxycytidine on the expression of cytokines and genes in the T cells. The expression of Th2 cells...
