Leptin is exerted at the development, proliferation, anti-apoptotic, maturation, and activation levels. Indeed, LepRs have been found in neutrophils, monocytes,…

Toxins are antigens secreted by microbes to act on the host tissue and can stimulate specific antibodies called antitoxins. Antimicrobial monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) synthesized by the host against microbial cell surface targets and soluble exotoxins. Its mode of action depends on the nature of the…
