Rationale: Immunogenicity of new tuberculosis (TB) vaccines is commonly assessed by
measuring the frequency and cytokine expression profile of T cells. Objectives: We tested …

The immune response to vaccination with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the only
tuberculosis vaccine available, has not been fully characterized. We used multiparameter …

The antioxidant capability and total phenolic contents of methanolic extracts of
Agaricusbrasiliensis in two stages of maturity, young (YB) and mature (MB), were evaluated …

Antigen-specific proliferation is a critical function of memory T cells that is often utilised to
measure vaccine immunogenicity and T cell function. We proposed that measurement of …

Determining amylose content in rice with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, associated with a
suitable multivariate regression method, is both feasible and relevant for the rice business to …

Agaricus brasiliensis is a mushroom native from Brazil largely studied due to its
polysaccharide contents, particularly β-glucans. In this study, the phenolics and organic …

Background. Improved vaccination strategies against tuberculosis are needed, such as
approaches to boost immunity induced by the current vaccine, BCG. Design of these …

Chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins occur commonly in affluent countries and
are a socioeconomic burden. However, there remains a relative lack of knowledge about …
