Abstract This article intends to provide an up-to-date overview of the relevant physiology required to pass the FRCA. The immune system is our defence against pathogens. This includes the recognition of non-self organisms, and protection through a variety of non-specific and highly specific mechanisms.

Function and activation of NF-kappa B in the immune system.
Annual Review of Immunology, 1994NF-kappa B is a ubiquitous transcription factor. Nevertheless, its properties seem to be most extensively exploited in cells of the immune system. Among these properties are NF-kappa B's rapid posttranslational activation in response to many pathogenic ...

The immune system in atherosclerosis
Nature Immunology, 2011Cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of mortality worldwide, is caused mainly by atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of blood vessels. Lesions of atherosclerosis contain macrophages, T cells and other cells of the immune response, together with cholesterol that infiltrates from the blood. Targeted deletion of genes encoding costimulatory

Understanding the mechanisms of the immune function and the influence of aging thereon is not a simple matter. Immunological reactions are highly complex (Table 1). The immune system has the enormous task of protecting us from disease (Table 2) and that which is foreign, while avoiding harm to that which is self.

This chapter deals with adverse effects of engineered nanomaterials on the immune system. Giving special attention to the immune system in the context of nanosafety is well justified; the immune system is not only enriched at the portals of entry of pathogenic microorganisms, but also nanoparticles, into the body.

Adverse Effects of Engineered Nanoparticles: A Disease-Oriented Approach provides a systematic evaluation of representative engineered nanomaterial (ENM) of high volume production and of high economic importance. Each class of nanomaterials discussed includes information on what scientists, industry, regulatory agencies and the general public need to ...

Atherosclerosis and the immune system
Acta Paediatrica, 2004The immune system is involved at all stages of the atherosclerotic disease process. Innate immunity, represented by macrophages and other cells, is directly activated by microbial components and possibly also by autologous lipids and proteins. It elicits inflammatory activity, which is a key component of the atherosclerotic lesion. Adaptive immunity is

Information is presented on changes in the aging immune system. An analysis of separate streams of cellular aging in the inbred mouse is presented. It is demonstrated that there is extensive polymorphism in the aging of different types of executive and regulatory cell lines.

Introduction to the Immune System
2013The immune system in a broad sense is a mechanism that allows a living organism to discriminate between "self" and "non-self." Examples of immune systems occur in multicellular organisms as simple and ancient as sea sponges. In fact, complex multicellular life would be impossible without the ability to exclude external life from the internal ...
