Nursing Standard, 2013
This article, which forms part of the life sciences series, explores the function of the immune system. It is important that nurses understand how the immune system works and its role in the prevention of infection. Innate and adaptive immunity are described and the differences between these two types of immune response are discussed.

Glutamine and the immune system
Amino Acids, 1999Glutamine is utilised at a high rate by cells of the immune system in culture and is required to support optimal lymphocyte proliferation and production of cytokines by lymphocytes and macrophages. Macrophage-mediated phagocytosis is influenced by glutamine availability. Hydrolysable glutamine dipeptides can substitute for glutamine to support in vitro

Tolerance and Immunity in the Intestinal Immune System
Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 2000The intestinal immune system must guard the body against invasion by pathogens while avoiding a response to the many potential antigens present in food. In the absence of the inflammatory stimuli necessary to elicit an immune response, oral administration of soluble protein antigens induces antigen-specific systemic nonresponsiveness.

Immunology Today, 1981
Some of the most pioneering discoveries in immunology, e.g. the dichotomy of the lymphoid system and the extrinsic origin of stem cells in primary lymphoid organs, have been made using the avian immune system. A considerable amount of information has been accumulated but the immune system in birds is still poorly understood compared with the murine or ...

Immunization Information Systems
Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 2014s. Another Community Guide systematic review, “Economic Review of Immunization Information Systems to Increase Vaccination Rates,” evaluated the costs and benefits associated with using these systems. IIS require funding for implementing and operating the system and providers and the IIS incur costs for data exchange.

Medical Hypotheses, 1985
A review of the literature shows that the thymus is the major reason for aging of the immune system. A graph of the mouse thymus mass is linear with age after puberty. However, T cell function is determined by thymic hormone factors and serum thymic factors.

Defence and Immunity: The Old Immune System
2004Abstract One can argue the correctness of this old Latin tag where military politics are concerned, but it is undoubtedly true for infectious disease. In the first chapter of this book I suggested that defending the body against pathogens was very much like defending a country against invasion, and now we are ready to pursue this analogy

Anesthesia and the Immune System
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975Anesthesia and operation may impair the immune system so that bacterial growth and tumor spread may occur more readily, and host response to transplanted tissue and allergenic substances may be altered. Suggestions are presented regarding the anesthetic management of patients at risk from infection or tumor spread.
