ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two common cutaneous chronic inflammatory diseases. Although they share similar immunological mechanisms, their clinical implications in the patient are different. This review compares both diseases from different points of view such as genetics, natural history, triggers of disease, and skin barrier defects

Objectives To determine the association of Human leukocyte antigen B (HLA‑B) alleles with ankylosing spondylitis and the allelic association of HLA‐B27 with endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs30187 in ...

Mechanisms of HIV Protein Degradation into Epitopes: Implications for Vaccine Design [PDF]
The degradation of HIV-derived proteins into epitopes displayed by MHC-I or MHC-II are the first events leading to the priming of HIV-specific immune responses and to the recognition of infected cells.

Inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme boost PI cytotoxicity through an increased sensitivity of proteasome to PI inhibitors, induction of ISR, DNA damage and Myc down‐regulation. They overcome PI resistance in vitro and induce tumour regression in vivo.

Association of ERAP1 Allelic Variants with Risk of Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) belongs to a group of autoimmune diseases affecting the axial skeleton. Beside thehla-b*27allele, several other human genes that control the variety processes of immune homeostasis are considered to be associated with AS manifestation in different human populations.

Functionally distinct ERAP1 allotype combinations distinguish individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis [PDF]
Significance The immune system performs surveillance to identify infected or cancerous cells through recognition of small protein fragments called antigenic peptides on their surface. To do this, the peptides must be cut to a specific length by an enzyme called endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1).

AIF-1 gene does not confer susceptibility to Behçet's disease: Analysis of extended haplotypes in Sardinian population [PDF]
Background BehcEet's disease (BD) is a polygenic immune-mediated disorder characterized by a close association with the HLA-B∗51 allele. The HLA region has a strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and carries several genetic variants (e.g. MIC-A, TNF-α genes)
