Paediatrics clinicians face a problem in evaluation of chemotherapy treatment used for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) patients in Iraq. They need an accurate test to evaluate the treatment. This study aimed to detect the clonality pattern of T and B lymphocytes receptors gene rearrangements in ALL patients in Basrah before chemotherapy. Bone m...
Recurrent abortion, or miscarriage, is defined as pregnancy loss before 20 weeks' gestation and is different from infertility. Commonly two or more pregnancies are lost spontaneously. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) has been linked to many diseases. The HLA-G gene polymorphism may have an impact on pregnancy outcome. Objective. To study the assoc...

One approach to understanding CLL is to investigate the nature of intracellular signals responsible for the development and prolonged survival of the malignant cells
Janus kinase (JAK): A family of intracellular, non receptor thyrosine kinases. That transduce cytokine-mediated signals via JAK-STAT pathway.
Is a pathway of cell death in which cells activate enzymes that degrade the cells’ own nuclear & cytoplasmic proteins.
The detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) predicts clinical outcome in patients with hematopoietic malignancies.
A total of 100 individuals were included in this study, 50 patients with alopecia areata and 50 healthy controls. There was no significant difference between alopecia areata patients and controls according to gender and age groups. No significant difference between alopecia areata patients and controls according to age groups. HLA-DQB1 alleles were...
Background: Lichen planus is an inflammatory, pruritic disease of the skin and mucus membranes, which can be either generalized or localized. Many studies indicated that human leukocyte antigens might have a role in lichen planus (LP). As far as my knowledge, no previous study had done in Iraq about HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles frequencies in pati...

Minimal residual disease (MRD) refers to leukemic cells which have survived in the blood of cancer patients during or after treatment.
The diagnosis of Minimal Residual Disease is far from straightforward. The number of harmful cells which remain following treatment by chemotherapy for example, is often exceptionally small and therefore very difficult to detect.

INTRODUCTION Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are an inherent system of alloantigens, which are the products of genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). These genes span a region of approximately 4 centimorgans on the short arm of human chromosome 6 at band p21.3 and encode the HLA class I and class II antigens, which play a central role...

HLA antigen frequencies in 150 patients with recurrent herpes simplex virus infection and 176 normal Iraqi controls were studied. Highly significant increased frequencies of HLA-A1, -B5 and -DR1 were found in patients as compared to control individuals. The frequencies of HLA-A3 and -A23 were also significantly increased in patients. When we subdiv...

First, do you think it is necessary to dilute blood or bone marrow samples before adding it on lymphoSep to separate the Buffy coat? OR simply add it on lymphoSep and then centrifuged.
Second, what is the preferred speed of centrifuge ?
Dear colleagues,
We asked her what's her aim from this study? She said that if she found high viral load in blood from children with autism, antiviral treatment will be effective in the future for decreasing the symptoms!!! I think there is no logic in that idea. What do you think about that? Is it a good idea to take blood samples from autism children and healthy controls for such that project????
