Normothermic central hypovolemia tolerance reflects hyperthermic tolerance [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Autonomic Research, 2014
To test the hypothesis that those who are highly tolerant to lower body negative pressure (LBNP) while normothermic are also highly tolerant to this challenge while hyperthermic.Sixty pairs of normothermic and hyperthermic LBNP tests to pre-syncope were evaluated.

The Multifaceted Roles of B Cells in the Thymus: From Immune Tolerance to Autoimmunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The thymus is home to a significant number of resident B cells which possess several unique characteristics regarding their origin, phenotype and function.

T-Cell Tolerance: Central and Peripheral [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2012
Somatic recombination of TCR genes in immature thymocytes results in some cells with useful TCR specificities, but also many with useless or potentially self-reactive specificities. Thus thymic selection mechanisms operate to shape the T-cell repertoire. Thymocytes that have a TCR with low affinity for self-peptide-MHC complexes are positively selected

A role for phagocytosis in inducing cell death during thymocyte negative selection

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Autoreactive thymocytes are eliminated during negative selection in the thymus, a process important for establishing self-tolerance. Thymic phagocytes serve to remove dead thymocytes, but whether they play additional roles during negative selection ...

Interleukin-5 (IL-5) Therapy Prevents Allograft Rejection by Promoting CD4+CD25+ Ts2 Regulatory Cells That Are Antigen-Specific and Express IL-5 Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
CD4+CD25+Foxp3+T cell population is heterogenous and contains three major sub-groups. First, thymus derived T regulatory cells (tTreg) that are naïve/resting. Second, activated/memory Treg that are produced by activation of tTreg by antigen and cytokines.

Control of central and peripheral tolerance by Aire [PDF]

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, 2011
Summary:  The negative selection of self‐reactive thymocytes depends on the expression of tissue‐specific antigens by medullary thymic epithelial cells. The autoimmune regulator (Aire) protein plays an important role in turning on these antigens, and the absence of even one Aire‐induced tissue‐specific antigen in the thymus can lead to autoimmunity in ...

Tolerance of Muslim beliefs and practices: Age related differences and context effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Tolerant judgments of Muslims’ political rights and dissenting beliefs and practices by ethnic Dutch adolescents (12–18 years) were examined. Participants (N = 632) made judgments of different types of behaviors and different contexts in an experimental ...

Genetic Polymorphisms in Exon 5 and Intron 5 and 7 of AIRE Are Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk in a Hungarian Population

open access: yesBiology
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is chronically persistent synovitis and systemic inflammation. Although multiple contributors are detected, only one is pivotal in the neonatal period: the negative selection of autoimmune naïve T-cells by the ...

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MECHANISMS MEDIATED BY DENDRITIC CELLS INVOLVED IN THE INDUCTION OF TOLERANCE

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2017
Autoimmune diseases  and  complications  after  transplantation  operations are  major   public health  problem, as they often  lead to deterioration in the quality  of life, reduce  work capacity  and  disability in the  population.

Conformational Plasticity of HLA-B27 Molecules Correlates Inversely With Efficiency of Negative T Cell Selection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The development of autoimmune disorders is incompletely understood. Inefficient thymic T cell selection against self-peptides presented by major histocompatibility antigens (HLA in humans) may contribute to the emergence of auto-reactive effector cells ...
