Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]

, 2011
Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

Regulation of Immunity by Butyrophilins

Annual Review of Immunology, 2016
Butyrophilin molecules (commonly contracted to BTN), collectively take their name from the eponymous protein in cow's milk. They are considered to be members of the B7 family of costimulatory receptors, which includes B7.1 (CD80), B7.2 (CD86), and related molecules, such as PD-L1 (B7-H1, CD274), ICOS-L (CD275), and B7-H3 (CD276).

Immune regulation in the retina [PDF]

Immunologic Research, 2010
Immune reactivity in the retina can be critically important in inflammation and infections, but regulation of this response is essential. The retinal pigment epithelial (RPE), a unique retinal cell, displays a number of essential functions to support the health of the retina.

An Overview of Artificial Immune Systems [PDF]

, 2004
The immune system is highly distributed, highly adaptive, self-organising in nature, maintains a memory of past encounters and has the ability to continually learn about new encounters.

Regulation of immunity in bronchiectasis [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2009
Bronchiectasis is a chronic, progressive lung disease where there is irreversible, abnormal dilatation of one or more bronchi, with chronic airway inflammation, associated chronic cough and sputum production, recurrent chest infections, and airflow obstruction. As such it is essentially a pathological endpoint with several underlying causes.

Effects of chronic ascariasis and trichuriasis on cytokine production and gene expression in human blood: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Chronic soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are associated with effects on systemic immune responses that could be caused by alterations in immune homeostasis.

The predictive prognostic factors for polymyositis/dermatomyositis-associated interstitial lung disease

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2018
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the principal cause of death in polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). Here we investigated prognostic factors for death and serious infection in PM/DM-ILD using the multicenter database.
