Neutrophil infiltration into inflammatory sites is one of the hallmarks of acute inflammation. Locally produced chemotactic factors are presumed to mediate the sequence of events leading to the infiltration at inflammatory sites.... more
Resveratrol is a natural molecule with antioxidant action. Moreover, resveratrol is also considered to be a molecule with anti-inflammatory action, an effect attributed to suppression of prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis. The aim of the... more
Pasteurella multocida type B: 2 is responsible for major animal diseases of economic importance in both developed and developing countries. Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (HS) could inflict devastating effects on blood tissues and organs in the... more
Our earlier studies demonstrated that representative microbial substances--lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and poly-inosine: poly-cytosine (poly(I):(C))--increased the spontaneous discharge rates and sensory-evoked responses of... more
It is quite evident that microbial (bacteria or fungi) crude extracts contain several important bioactive compounds and some have already shown their therapeutic activity. Unfortunately, most of the compounds have not properly been... more
Prior exposure to a stressor can potentiate CNS pro-inflammatory immune responses to a peripheral immune challenge. However, the neuroimmune substrate(s) mediating this effect has not been determined. The present investigation examined... more
A high-throughput mass spectrometry assay to measure the catalytic activity of UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase, LpxC, is described. This reaction is essential in the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)... more
ABSTRACT The distribution of intravenously injected A-layer protein and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) purified from the outer surface of the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida, was studied in Atlantic salmon. Radiolabelling was achieved by... more
Improved methods of cell culture from eye stalk, hepatopancreas, muscle, ovary, and hemocytes of shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) were established using synthetic media and shrimp muscle extract (SME). For hemocytes and ovarian cell cultures,... more
Jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis (Link 1822) Schneider 1907] is an arid perennial shrub grown in several American and African countries. Jojoba seeds, which are rich in liquid wax, were used in folk medicine for diverse ailments. In the... more
Non-specific mechanisms are important in the defence of all multicellular animals against pathogenic microorganisms. Macrophages and granulocytes play a central role in this respect. It is thus pertinent to develop methods for obtaining... more
