Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2013, Pages 1-9

Abstract
  Background: A common Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class II allele, DQβ1*03:01, seems to be associated with Bullous pemphigoid (BP) in Caucasians whereas previous studies in other ethnic groups showed other HLA class II alleles as genetic predisposing factors for BP. Objective: To investigate the ...  Read More

Maryam Hamidinia; Mehri Ghafourian Boroujernia; Abdolhassan Talaiezadeh; Ghasem Solgi; Maryam Taghdiri; Ali Khodadadi

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2013, Pages 22-30

Abstract
  Background: Regulatory T cells (T-regs) have an important role in cancer by suppression of protective antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T cells express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (FOXP3) and OX40 molecules which have important regulatory roles in the immune system. Objective: ...  Read More

Effect of Thermal Stress on MICA/B Induction in a Human Liposarcoma Cell Line

Shirin Farjadian; Shahrzad Rahimifar; Nasrollah Erfani; Ramin Lotfi

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2013, Pages 31-39

Abstract
  Background: A possible mechanism by which hyperthermia enhances tumor immunogenicity is the induction of NKG2D ligands on tumor cells. Although the expression of MHC class I chain-related protein A and B (MICA/B) has previously been reported in different carcinomas, there is no information about MICA/B ...  Read More

Increased IL-17A but Decreased IL-27 Serum Levels in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Zohreh Babaloo; Reza Khajir Yeganeh; Mehdi Farhoodi; Behzad Baradaran; Mohamadreza Bonyadi; Leila Aghebati

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2013, Pages 47-54

Abstract
  Background: Effector CD4+ T cell subsets play an important role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Interleukin-27 (IL-27) suppresses Th (Th1, Th2 and Th17) cells and dampens autoimmunity and tissue inflammation by promoting the generation of Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1). Objective: To identify the relative ...  Read More
