Development of the immune response

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1973
SummaryThe association of immunodeficiency with allergy is increasingly recognized. It is likely that defective antigen handling as a consequence of subtle degrees of immunodeficiency could predispose an individual to clinical allergy. Patterns of antigen handling established at first contact after birth with an antigen may affect the course of immune ...

The nephritogenic immune response

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1993
An emerging viewpoint states that localization of antibodies, T cells, and macrophages within the kidney occurs through specific receptor-mediated interactions to initiate nephritis. The initial events involve loss of tolerance with activation of autoreactive B cells, autoreactive T cells, or both.

Corticosteroids and the Immune Response

1988
Stress is a powerful stimulus to glucocorticoid (“steroid”) production. Glucocorticoids, in turn, have important effects on the immune system. In principle, one could develop the theme; stress → steroid production → immune modulation. In practice, however, one should recognize that most of our knowledge of the effects of glucocorticosteroids on the ...

The immune response in Coccidioidomycosis

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2010
With the increasing use of biologics, clinical rheumatologists are becoming very well acquainted with opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis, histoplasmosis and Coccidiomycosis. In the great valleys of California as well as several other hot spots in the Southern areas of the United States and select pockets in South America, valley fever ...

Immune response by touch

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2018
Using spiky microparticles, the authors show that physical cues, such as topological features on the surface of a pathogen, can trigger an immune response by exerting mechanical stress on immune cells.

Immunity and the immune response.

Modern veterinary practice, 1981
The immune system is designed to discriminate self from nonself. This goal is accomplished by recognition, effector, and memory mechanisms. At the cellular level the immune system consists of macrophages and lymphocytes. The former constitute a major line of phagocytic cellular defenses.

Maturation of the Immune Response

2014
Innate Immunity The innate immune system depends on features like extracellular and intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRR) that recognize general molecular patterns. Different types of PRR have been described, identifying microbe-, pathogen-, and danger-associated molecular patterns (abbreviated asMAMP, PAMP, and DAMP, respectively).

microRNAs and the immune response

Trends in Immunology, 2008
microRNA (miRNA)-mediated RNA interference has been identified as a novel mechanism that regulates protein expression at the translational level. Recent publications have provided compelling evidence that a range of miRNAs are involved in the regulation of immunity, including the development and differentiation of B and T cells, proliferation of ...

Modulating the immune response to genetic immunization

The FASEB Journal, 1998
ABSTRACT 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.

Dermatophytosis and the immune response

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1994
Dermatophytes are eliminated from the skin by a cell-mediated immune reaction. Immunity is acquired by active infection. The inflammatory reaction that ensues may increase the proliferatory activity of keratinocytes, causing the fungus to be sloughed from the skin surface.
