The immune system and other cognitive systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In the following pages we propose a theory on cognitive systems and the common strategies of perception, which are at the basis of their function. We demonstrate that these strategies are easily seen to be in place in known cognitive systems such as ...

Development of the Immune System [PDF]

open access: yesInfectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997
The development of immune defense mechanisms begins early during fetal life but is not yet completed at birth. The earliest hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to the lymphocytic and myelomonocytic cell lines, appear between the fourth and eight weeks postconception.

Correlations in the T Cell Response to Altered Peptide Ligands

open access: yes, 2004
The vertebrate immune system is a wonder of modern evolution. Occasionally, however, correlations within the immune system lead to inappropriate recruitment of preexisting T cells against novel viral diseases.

Environmental Circadian Disruption Elevates the IL-6 Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Blood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The immune system is regulated by circadian clocks within the brain and immune cells. Environmental circadian disruption (ECD), consisting of a 6-h phase advance of the light:dark cycle once a week for 4 weeks, elevates the inflammatory response to ...

The Immune System [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Modern biotherapy has been in use for some 30 years. The first types of biotherapy were nonspecific stimulators of the immune response, but advances in genetic engineering are allowing the mass production of pure biological products which are now being ...

A Physical Theory of the Competition that Allows HIV to Escape from the Immune System

open access: yes, 2006
Competition within the immune system may degrade immune control of viral infections. We formalize the evolution that occurs in both HIV-1 and the immune system quasispecies.

The immune system in chickens , [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 1974
The most sophisticated feature of the immune system expressed in vertebrates is recognition of foreign molecules by distinct types of immunocompetent cells. Birds are the first vertebrates in which a clear dichotomy of the lymphoid system has been established: 1. Thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes, the effector cells in cell-mediated (immunity and 2. Bursa-

Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

IFN-mediated negative feedback supports bacteria class-specific macrophage inflammatory responses

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Despite existing evidence for tuning of innate immunity to different classes of bacteria, the molecular mechanisms used by macrophages to tailor inflammatory responses to specific pathogens remain incompletely defined.
