In the current study, we investigated effects of carp Il10 on phagocytes and lymphocytes. Carp shares several prototypical inhibitory activities with mammalian IL-10, including deactivation neutrophils macrophages, as shown by inhibition oxygen nitrogen radical production, well reduced expression proinflammatory genes mhc involved in Ag presentation. Similar to acts through a signaling pathway involving phosphorylation Stat3, ultimately leading early upregulation socs3 expression. To our...
Significance Tuberculosis (TB) is an immunopathology, mostly of the lung, due to overexuberant immune response bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Here, we demonstrate in vitro and vivo that dendritic cell (DC) immunoreceptor (DCIR), a C-type lectin receptor expressed by DCs, modulates immunity TB sustaining type I IFN signaling DCs. These findings were generalized beyond TB, model antigen-presentation assay unrelated M. , suggesting they may extend other pathologies, such as...
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are fundamental components of innate immunity that play significant roles in the defence against pathogen invasion. In this study, we present molecular characterization full-length coding sequence tlr1, tlr2a and tlr2b from common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Each is encoded within a single exon contains conserved number leucine-rich repeats, transmembrane region an intracellular TIR domain for signalling. Indeed, sequence, phylogenetic synteny analysis support these...
The price of Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) is around twice as high that the other cinnamon varieties commonly grouped under name cassia cinnamon, making former spice an attractive target for fraudsters. This work demonstrates elemental profiles obtained by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence in combination with multivariate analyses can be used a screening method to detect Ceylon adulteration. Thirty-six elements were analysed 52 commercially available samples, 29 Ceylon, 8 cassia, and...
Consumers and companies associated with food or pharmaceuticals rely on spices herbs in various forms. Their intricate supply chains, elevated prices, low-volume production render them vulnerable to fraudulent practices. However, comprehensive methodologies detect adulterants remain scarce, impeding national control laboratories from enforcing European legislation. In this study, we present quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) methods designed identify the top five of each six commonly consumed...
DNA technology for food authentication is already well established, and with the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and, more specifically, metabarcoding, compositional analysis at molecular level has rapidly gained popularity. This led to several reports in media about presence foreign, non-declared species commodities. As herbs spices are attractive targets fraudulent manipulation, a combination digital PCR metabarcoding by NGS was employed check purity 285 oregano samples taken...

Spices and herbs are used in multiple forms by consumers companies related to food or pharmaceuticals. Their intricate supply chains, high prices limited productions make them susceptible deceptive practises. However, robust methodology detect adulterants is still rarely available, preventing national control laboratories from enforcing European regulations. This article presents qPCR methods developed identify six commonly consumed spices herbs, namely paprika, turmeric, saffron, cumin,...
The EU General Food Law not only aims at ensuring food safety but also to 'prevent fraudulent or deceptive practices; the adulteration of food; and any other practices which may mislead consumer'. Especially partial complete, deliberate, intentional substitution valuable ingredients (e.g., Saffron) for less ones is concern. Due variety products on market an approach detect that works well one species be easily applicable another. Here we present a broadly detection biological materials based...
