Final kernel number in maize (Zea mays L.) is closely associated with the physiological condition of crop during critical period bracketing silking. The objective this study was to determine whether there a common underlying relationship between per plant (KNP) and growth rate (PGR) that when varies because different abiotic stresses. A KNP PGR obtained from previous variation density incident radiation used as reference. were measured experiments which plant, nitrogen (N), water...

Recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infectious diseases, especially in women. Antibiotics remain mainstay treatment, but their overuse is associated with antibiotic-resistant and deleterious effects microbiota. Therefore, alternative approaches fully demanded. Sublingual immunization MV140 (Uromune), a polyvalent preparation (PBP) whole heat-inactivated bacteria, demonstrated clinical efficacy for treatment RUTIs, involved immunological mechanisms...

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are among the most common and important problems in clinical medicine, making antibiotics gold standard therapeutic option regardless of their frequent viral etiology. Their excessive inappropriate use contributes to rapid rise antibiotic resistance underscores need for alternative strategies, especially when dealing with recurrent RTIs. Prevention is ideal alternative, but specific vaccines targeting a wide range respiratory pathogens scarce. MV130...

Background: Little information is available on the clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) using extracts derived from mammalian epithelia. Objectives: To assess cat SLIT based natural exposure challenge test (NCT). Material and methods: Fifty allergic patients with rhinoconjunctivitis or without asthma were included in a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial during 1 year. Twenty‐five received active treatment 25 placebo. Sublingual was assessed by to cat‐room skin...

Polymerized allergoids conjugated with mannan represent a novel approach of allergen immunotherapy targeting dendritic cells. In this study, we aimed to determine the optimal dose mannan-allergoid conjugates derived from grass pollen (Phleum pratense and Dactylis glomerata) administered via either subcutaneous or sublingual route. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial double-dummy design was conducted, involving 162 participants across 12 centers in Spain. Subjects were...

Abstract Background Polymerized allergoids coupled to nonoxidized mannan ( PM ‐allergoids) may represent novel vaccines targeting dendritic cells DC s). ‐allergoids are better captured by s than native allergens and favor Th1/Treg cell responses upon subcutaneous injection. Herein we have studied in mice the vivo immunogenicity of administered sublingually comparison with allergens. Methods Three immunization protocols (4‐8 weeks long) were used Balb/c mice. Serum antibody levels tested...

Abstract Food security is the way to quantify degree of access population has nutritious and safe food at all times. It depends on several factors, including availability affordability that food. This term should not be confused with safety, which understood discipline, process or action prevents from containing living organisms (bacteria, viruses parasites) chemical substances could cause harm health consumers. Climate change climate altering due anthropogenic activities, are adversely...

Immunotherapy for treating IgE-mediated allergies requires high doses of the corresponding allergen. This may result in undesired side effects and, to avoid them, hypoallergenic allergens (allergoids) polymerized with glutaraldehyde are commonly used. Targeting allergoids dendritic cells enhance cell uptake a more effective immunotherapy. Allergoids coupled yeast mannan, as source polymannoses, would be suitable this purpose, since mannose-binding receptors expressed on these cells....

We have recently reported that grass pollen allergoids conjugated with nonoxidized mannan of Saccharomyces cerevisae using glutaraldehyde results in a novel hypoallergenic mannan-allergen complex improved properties for allergen vaccination. Using this approach, human dendritic cells show better uptake and cytokine profile production (higher IL-10/IL-4 ratio) therapeutic purposes. Here we aim to address whether similar approach can be extended dogs canine cells. Six healthy Spanish Greyhound...
