The Biology of the Immune Response

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987
THE IMMUNE system is composed of a large and complex set of elements that are widely distributed. It is designed to protect against foreign pathogens while not responding adversely to self-components. Thus, it must distinguish "self" from "not self." This distinction is made by an elaborate, specific recognition system that, ultimately, is composed of ...

Prebiotics and Immune Responses

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2004
Feeding breast milk of healthy mothers is associated with a lower incidence of infectious and allergic diseases. Although this effect is of multifactorial origin, it is widely accepted that the entire intestinal flora of breastfed infants provides anti-infective properties and is an important stimulating factor for the postnatal development of the ...

The nephritogenic immune response

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1991
Recent work has improved our understanding of a number of aspects of the nephritogenic immune response. Progress has been made in the understanding of the development of idiotypic networks, and in understanding the structural nature of the targets of self-reactive T cells and the paracrine mediators that are released as part of the local inflammatory ...

ANÆMIA AND IMMUNE RESPONSE

The Lancet, 1976
Nutritional anaemia is a major public-health problem in many parts of the world, and iron deficiency appears to be the most important cause. The immune response is believed to be impaired in anaemia. The results of the present study, carried out in young children, indicate that both the cell-mediated immune response and the bactericidal activity of ...

Longevity and the immune response

Biogerontology, 2000
The domino hypothesis of the onset of age associated immune insufficiency suggests that it is the consequence of a cascade of events beginning with involution of the thymus. Involution is associated with a reduced thymic output leading to fewer naïve T cells contributing to the peripheral T-cell pool.

Complement and the immune response

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1997
This past year has seen a major advance in our understanding of how the complement system enhances the adaptive immune response. The use of in vivo models has revealed that direct coupling of C3d to antigen is sufficient to dramatically reduce the amount of antigen required for a secondary response.

Prostaglandins and the immune response

Life Sciences, 1977
Abstract The experimental evidence amply demonstrates that exogenous Pg is capable of inhibiting most immunological functions. The physiological role of Pgs in immune cell regulation, however, remains unresolved. This uncertainty arises from the fact that although Pgs are normally found in tissues in nanogram quantities or less, many experiments ...

Tryptophan and the immune response

Immunology & Cell Biology, 2003
The immune system continuously modulates the balance between responsiveness to pathogens and tolerance to non‐harmful antigens. The mechanisms that mediate tolerance are not well understood, but recent findings have implicated tryptophan catabolism through the kynurenine metabolic pathway as one of many mechanisms involved.

Maturation of the Immune Response

1996
This chapter focuses on the maturation of the immune response. The maturation of the immune system is considered to be a precisely controlled process, which results in a large number of highly differentiated cells, each committed to the production of a single (antibody).
