CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY: Antibody-independent immunity, mediated by TH1 cells. Examples: Type-IV Hypersensitivity responses, responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other intracellular pathogens. MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION: IFN-gamma, secreted by TH1 cells, activates macrophages. Increase expression of MHC-II molecules in […]
Cytokines are bioactive hormones, normally glycoproteins, which exercise a wide variety of biological effects on those cells which express the appropriate receptors. Cytokines are designated by their cellular origin such that Monokines include those interleukins […]
The direct microscopic visualization of the malarial parasite on the thick and/or thin blood smears has been the “gold standard” for malaria diagnosis. Thick Blood smear Thick blood film samples a relatively large volume of […]
