Effect of Nicotine on Immune System Function [PDF]
As a parasympathetic alkaloid and the main substance in cigarette smoke, nicotine modulates the immune system, inhibits innate and acquired immunity and is used in treating many autoimmune diseases.

Infections with extracellular trypanosomes require control by efficient innate immune mechanisms and can result in the destruction of the mammalian humoral immune system [PDF]
Salivarian trypanosomes are extracellular parasites that affect humans, livestock, and game animals around the world. Through co-evolution with the mammalian immune system, trypanosomes have developed defense mechanisms that allow them to thrive in blood,

Evolutionary trade-off between innate and acquired immune defences in birds
Background The development, maintenance, and use of immune defences are costly. Therefore, animals face trade-offs in terms of resource allocation within their immune system and between their immune system and other physiological processes.

Pyridoxine, folate, and cobalamin and the condition of the innate and acquired immunity [PDF]
The immune response to the pathogen depends on the state and coordinated activity of innate and acquired immunity. To date, the positive role of many micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in maintaining homeostasis of the human immune system has been ...

Gnawing Between Cells and Cells in the Immune System: Friend or Foe? A Review of Trogocytosis
Trogocytosis occurs when one cell contacts and quickly nibbles another cell and is characterized by contact between living cells and rapid transfer of membrane fragments with functional integrity. Many immune cells are involved in this process, such as T

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase genes in Tribolium castaneum: evolution, molecular characterisation and gene expression during immune priming. [PDF]
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a normal consequence of the aerobic cell metabolism. Despite their high and potentially detrimental reactivity with various biomolecules, the endogenous production of ROS is a vital part of physiological,
