Abstract:

Objective: Leishmaniasis, a zoonotic protozoan disease is common in the south and Central America, Asia and Africa continents where phlebotomus mosquito species transmit the disease between susceptible species. The companion animals and wild species can act as reservoir and maintain the parasite in the environment. This parasite is seen as amastigote form in vertebrate animals and promastigote form in the insects. Leishmaniasis affects about 12 million people from 88 countries and creates a complex and unpleasant disease that is long lasting, hard to treat and sometimes a life threatening disease that is known as visceral leishmaniasis. For this reason, development of an effective and a safe vaccine that protects the susceptible species is necessary. According to our previous finding of the author related to the new formulated provisional vaccine, it seems that a complex humoral and cellular response followed by vaccination to be involved, which required further investigation. Methods: In the present project, we had six vaccinated groups received either 100 or 200 microgram/0.1ml L.major cocktail antigen, each of them also received Leishmania + BCG (LB), Leishmania + Teucrium (LT), or Leishmania + BCG + Teucrium (LBT) groups, and also one control group was considered. After vaccination and booster dose, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells profile of the lymphoid tissues and serum levels of immune effector cytokines including ILs-4, 10, 12, 17, 23, IFN-gamma were evaluated and the findings were analyzed statistically. Results: Considering the six vaccinated groups compared together and normal group : number and size of pulps, percent of spleen weight /mouse weight, interferon gamma with mean of white pulp size, CD4+ with CD3+,IL- 23 with IFN-γ have had significant differences. And also without considering two injection doses, and considering to three injection groups: IL-10, lL-23, IL-12, CD25+, CD3+&CD4+ have had significant differences which may indicate a satisfactory immune response to the new formulated L.major antigen as a provisional vaccine. 
 
Keywords of your Abstract : Keywords: Leishmania major, Vaccine, Cytokines, Th1 &Th2, CD4+&CD8+, Balb/c mice.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : only in conference
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : Thank you very much of your attention .I invited and have two oral lectures as corresponding author in this important congress one lecture present by me as first author and second present by Dr. Mohammad Javad Gharagozlou as first author. It was a very scientific and regular Congress. I was invited lecturer and was treated very respectfully towards us and our oral lectures. Chair of my lecture tell to all delegates: "Our works have technology, but Iranian works had strength and high potential". Abstracts of My two lectures published in abstract book” new era in vaccine discovery”. I would like to inform you that, I invited as speaker to another vaccine congresses 2015 & 2016.
