Immune modulation by butyrophilins
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2014The B7 family of co-stimulatory molecules has an important role in driving the activation and inhibition of immune cells. Evolving data have shown that a related family of molecules - the butyrophilins - have similar immunomodulatory functions to B7 family members and may represent a novel subset of co-stimulatory molecules.

Anesthesia-induced immune modulation
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2019Purpose of review Surgery, invasive procedures and anesthesia itself may induce an inflammatory response in the patient. This represents an evolutionary inherited and conserved response of the host to environmental stimuli and may lead to both beneficial and potentially harmful effects.

The concept that the immune system is involved in defence against cancer goes back nearly a hundred years. Despite increased sophistication in our analysis of the immune response it has proven difficult to demonstrate a powerful role of the immune system in either the prevention or treatment of cancer.

Acupuncture and immune modulation
Autonomic Neuroscience, 2010Acupuncture is probably the most popular alternative therapy practiced in the United States, Europe and many Asian countries. It has been applied clinically for more than 5 thousand years according to the ancient oriental medical theory. A great deal of acupuncture research has been achieved, with particular efforts toward understanding the pain ...

Immune Modulation by Flaviviruses
2003Flaviviruses cause pleomorphic disease with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Interestingly, in contrast to most viruses, which subvert or avoid host immune systems, members of the neurotropic Japanese encephalitis serocomplex cause functional changes associated with increased efficacy of the immune response. These viruses induce increased

Sensory modulation of airways immunity
Neuroscience Letters, 2021The airways are constantly exposed to a multitude of inhaled particles and, as such, require a finely tuned discrimination between harmful or potentially threatening stimuli, and discrete responses to maintain homeostasis. Both the immune and nervous systems have the ability to sense environmental (and internal) signals, to integrate the obtained ...

Modulating the immune response to genetic immunization
The FASEB Journal, 1998ABSTRACT Genetic immunization, also known as DNA or polynucleotide immunization, is a novel strategy for vaccine development in which plasmid DNA encoding either individual or a collection of antigens is directly administered to a host.

Neuronal Factors Modulating Immunity
Neuroimmunomodulation, 1994In this minireview we will discuss some evidence suggesting that the immune response is under neuronal regulation. In particular, we will concentrate on the effects that various neuropeptides have on immunity both in vitro and in vivo. Of these, vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P, somatostatin, and calcitonin gene related peptide will be ...

Immune modulation: the genetic approach
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2002As part of a comprehensive strategy to combat diseases, improving genetically resistance to diseases and therefore immune capacities of animals is more and more desirable. However, research is still needed to develop genetic tools that may be used. In this search, lines selected for various immune responses are used to study relevant immune markers ...
