There are several clinical shreds of evidence that show anti-carcinogenic effects of probiotics through altering digestive enzymes, inhibition of carcinogenic agents, and modulating the immune responses in experimental animals.

keratitis: passive immunotherapy with antibodies raised against divalent flagellin.

Objectives: infections such as keratitis are considered among the major health problems worldwide due to the complexity of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance crisis, thus, finding new effective approaches for prevention and treatment of the infections seem to be still vital. In this report, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of topical administration of the antibodies against type a and b-flagellin (FLA and FLB) in keratitis model of infection in mice.

Materials And Methods: Scratched corneas of mice were treated with approximately 10 CFUs/eye of PAK and/or PAO1 strains of .
