New Aspect of Immune System: Innate Immunity and Acquired Immunity
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2006 Recently, it has been turned out that our internal defense system is composed of two distinct components; innate/natural immune system and acquired/adaptive immune system. The former innate immunity is principally located at the surface area such as skin and mucosal compartment, while the latter acquired immunity is observed mainly in the circulating ...

Opiates, immune system, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and nonhuman primate model [PDF]
Journal of Neurovirology, 2008 Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and illicit drug addiction remain major health problems not only in the United States but all over globe. The effect of drug addiction on HIV/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) has been somewhat underexplored.

Role of NPR1 in Systemic Acquired Stomatal Immunity
Plants, 2023 Stomatal immunity is the primary gate of the plant pathogen defense system. Non-expressor of Pathogenesis Related 1 (NPR1) is the salicylic acid (SA) receptor, which is critical for stomatal defense. SA induces stomatal closure, but the specific role of NPR1 in guard cells and its contribution to systemic acquired resistance (SAR) remain largely ...

The role of HLA genotypes in understanding the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19
Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2023 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused human tragedy through the global spread of the viral pathogen SARS-CoV-2. Although the underlying factors for the severity of COVID-19 in different people are still unknown, several gene ...

The role of the acquired immune response in systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2015 Profound alterations characterize the adaptive immune response in systemic sclerosis, and several layers of evidence support a prominent role exerted by immune cellular effectors and humoral mediators in the pathogenesis of this disease. These include (i) the presence of oligoclonal T cells in tissues undergoing fibrosis consistent with (auto)antigen ...

Variation in the innate and acquired arms of the immune system among five shorebird species [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYTo contribute to an understanding of the evolutionary processes that shape variation in immune responses, we compared several components of the innate and acquired arms of the immune system in five related, but ecologically diverse, migratory shorebirds (ruff Philomachus pugnax L., ruddy turnstone Arenaria interpres L., bar-tailed godwit Limosa ...

INFECTION-ACQUIRED VERSUS VACCINE-INDUCED IMMUNITY AGAINST COVID-19
Central Asian Journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ethics, 2021 The course of COVID-19 depends on a dynamic interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and the host's immune system. Although it is an emerging global health issue, little is known about the specificity, safety, and duration of the immunity elicited by the virus. This

Paleo-immunology: evidence consistent with insertion of a primordial herpes virus-like element in the origins of acquired immunity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:The RAG encoded proteins, RAG-1 and RAG-2 regulate site-specific recombination events in somatic immune B- and T-lymphocytes to generate the acquired immune repertoire.
