The perioperative immune response [PDF]
A host of immune modulators are now available in clinical practice. The perioperative period is characterized by profound alterations in host immunity, which can result in poor outcomes, which include infection, cancer recurrence and organ failure. Manipulation of the perioperative immune response has the potential to improve outcomes.

Control of immune responses by gene immunization
The use of plasmid DNA to elicit immune responses has greatly increased our ability to skew the desired immune response to a particular antigen. DNA immunization elicits potent cell-mediated responses including humoral immunity as well as cytolytic T-lymphocyte immunity.

Immune Response to Neonatal Genetic Immunization
The effect of genetic immunization of neonatal mice was tested with a plasmid vector expressing the rabies virus glycoprotein. Mice inoculated within 24 hr after birth with the plasmid DNA developed antibodies as well as T helper cells to the rabies virus glycoprotein.

Immune Responses to Retroviruses [PDF]
Retroviruses are genome invaders that have shared a long history of coevolution with vertebrates and their immune system. Found endogenously in genomes as traces of past invasions, retroviruses are also considerable threats to human health when they exist as exogenous viruses such as HIV.

Rondonin: antimicrobial properties and mechanism of action
Infectious diseases are among the major causes of death in the human population. A wide variety of organisms produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as part of their first line of defense.
