Inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (iKIRs) are a family of inhibitory receptors that are expressed by natural killer (NK) cells and late-stage differentiated T cells. There is accumulating evidence that iKIRs regulate T cell-mediated immunity. Recently, we reported that T cell-mediated control was enhanced by iKIRs in chronic viral infections.

The subcutaneous manifestation of this disease is a relatively uncommon clinical occurrence. Previously very few or no cases of cysticercosis presenting as subcutaneous solitary painful swelling have been reported in the literature.

Genetic biofortification represents a highly useful solution to this problem.

- * ELISA has been suggested as an easier alternative but struggles with antigen availability, particularly RABV glycoprotein, which requires high biosafety levels for use.
- * The research tested insect cell extracts producing RABV glycoprotein and found it effectively detected rabies antibodies in vaccinated dogs, with a 90.48% sensitivity and 80.00% specificity, making it suitable for quick screening and monitoring vaccination efforts.
Background: The genus Bauhinia and its species has been known since ages by tribal people and medicinal practitioners in tropical and subtropical regions for the treatment of diabetes, diarrhea, cough, fever, stomach disorders, skin diseases, and other diseases.
Study Design: Our aim was to collect and explore the literature available on the traditional applications and medicinal potential of genus Bauhinia across Asia, so that this review can be used as standard to analyze the immense potential of this genus and can be explored further for clinical use.
Methods: The information was rigorously gathered from Google Scholar, Pub Med, Elsevier, Wiley Online Search, Science Direct, and other literature sources.
