Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 57-62, 2010., 2010 A crude acetone extract of the pit of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) was prepared and its antiviral activity evaluated against lytic Pseudomonas phage ATCC 14209‐B1, using Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25668 as the host cell. The antiviral activity of date pits was found to be mediated by binding to the phage, with minimum inhibitory concentration ...

Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2007, Issue 1, 2007., 2007 Objective. To evaluate the safety of the antimicrobial peptide, lactocin 160. Methods. Lactocin 160, a product of vaginal probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus 160 was evaluated for toxicity and irritation. An in vitro human organotypic vaginal‐ectocervical tissue model (EpiVaginal) was employed for the safety testing by determining the exposure time to ...

Pokeweed Antiviral Protein Inhibits Brome Mosaic Virus Replication in Plant Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the pokeweed plant (Phytolacca americana) that inhibits the proliferation of several plant and animal viruses. We have shown previously that PAP and nontoxic mutants of PAP can directly depurinate brome mosaic virus (BMV) RNA in vitro, resulting in reduced viral protein ...

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Bioactive peptides (BAPs) obtained from plants and microbes have been thoroughly explored and studied due to their prophylactic properties. The use of BAPs seems to be a promising substitute for several currently available antibiotics because of their antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens.

Immunology and Homeopathy. 2. Cells of the Immune System and Inflammation
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 13-24, 2006., 2006 Here we describe the results of some experimental laboratory studies aimed at verifying the efficacy of high dilutions of substances and of homeopathic medicines in models of inflammation and immunity. Studies carried out on basophils, lymphocytes, granulocytes and fibroblasts are reviewed. This approach may help to test under controlled conditions the

Monoclonal Antibodies as Immune Modulators for Cancer Therapy
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 3, Issue B, Page 20-25, 1992., 1992 Monoclonal antibodies may modulate immune and/or biological responses alone, or as carriers of specific agents. Monoclonal antibodies directed against tumours may be indirectly cytotoxic by modulation of antibody‐dependent, cell‐mediated cytotoxicity or complement‐mediated cytotoxicity.

Comparative in vitro imunotoxicology of acyclovir and other antiviral agents [PDF]
, 1980 In vitro lymphocyte blastogenic responses to the commonly employed mitogens phytohemagglutinin, pokeweed, and concanavalin A were evaluated when acyclovir, adenine arabinoside, cytosine arabinoside, and idoxuridine were added to the culture materials ...

Pharmaceutical Crops: An Overview [PDF]
, 2010 Pharmaceutical crops is an ambiguous term used by biologists and chemists for different categories of plants. We define pharmaceutical crops as those cultivated species that are used for extraction or preparation of therapeutic substances such as active ...

Expression and activity of a recombinant chimeric protein composed of pokeweed antiviral protein and of human interleukin‐2 [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1997 The pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) has already been used to chemically construct immunotoxins. Here we tested the recombinant approach for the production of PAP‐containing cytotoxic fusion‐proteins. A cDNA encoding a mutated PAP (PAP9), which is expressed at high levels in bacteria, was fused to human interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) cDNA.
