Pathways of major histocompatibility complex allorecognition [PDF]
Here, we review the pathways of allorecognition and their potential relevance to the balance between regulatory and effector responses following transplantation.Transplantation between nonidentical members of the same species elicits an immune response that manifests as graft rejection or persistence.

Allorecognition, the ability of an organism to distinguish kin from non-kin, or self from non-self, has been studied extensively in a group of invertebrate chordates, the colonial ascidians called botryllids (Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea, Family ...

The ‘immunology trap’ of anthozoans [PDF]
Organisms commonly respond to infectious agents via effector arms of immune systems. However, whereas innate immunity in vertebrates has been intensely investigated, we still strive to understand how cnidarians’ immunity operates, consulting literature ...

A mathematical model of the early inflammatory response in transplantation is formulated with ordinary differential equations. We first consider the inflammatory events associated only with the initial surgical procedure and the subsequent ischemia ...

In organ transplantation, alloantigens are taken up by antigen presenting cells and presented via the indirect pathway to T-cells which in turn can induce allograft rejection.

Immunological allograft rejection is based on the process of recognition of donor antigens by T-cell receptors. Antigens are generally represented by molecules of major hystocompatibility complex (MHC), expressed by the donor organ tissue cells.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. I. Morphological aspects [PDF]
We studied colony specificity in the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachi which, as in other botryllid ascidians, leads to either fusion or non-fusion between contacting colonies.

Botryllus schlosseri allorecognition: tackling the enigma [PDF]
Allorecognition has been well-studied in the context of vertebrate adaptive immunity and recognition of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which is the central event of vertebrate immune responses. Although allorecognition systems have been identified throughout the metazoa, recent results have shown that there is no apparent conservation or ...

Synergies of Extracellular Vesicles and Microchimerism in Promoting Immunotolerance During Pregnancy
The concept of biological identity has been traditionally a central issue in immunology. The assumption that entities foreign to a specific organism should be rejected by its immune system, while self-entities do not trigger an immune response is ...

Patterns of 1,748 Unique Human Alloimmune Responses Seen by Simple Machine Learning Algorithms
Allele specific antibody response against the polymorphic system of HLA is the allogeneic response marker determining the immunological risk for graft acceptance before and after organ transplantation and therefore routinely studied during the patient's ...
