Hodgkin Disease and the Role of the Immune System [PDF]
Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, 2011 Hodgkin disease (HD) is a malignancy of primarily B lymphocytes that has the unique ability to cause immunodeficiency, as well as provide immune evasion mechanisms to avoid self-destruction. In this review, the authors discuss Hodgkin disease, its association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the immune deficiency caused by HD, and tumor immune evasion ...

Lentivirus-mediated Conditional Gene Expression
Bio-Protocol, 2021 The ability to identify the role of a particular gene within a system is dependent on control of the expression of that gene. In this protocol, we describe a method for stable, conditional expression of Nod-Like receptors (NLRs) in THP-1 cells using a ...

The role of the immune system in kidney disease [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2018 Summary The immune system and the kidneys are closely linked. In health the kidneys contribute to immune homeostasis, while components of the immune system mediate many acute forms of renal disease and play a central role in progression of chronic kidney disease.

Crosstalk between ILC2s and Th2 cells varies among mouse models
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Type 2 T helper (Th2) cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) provide protection against helminth infection and are involved in allergic responses. However, their relative importance and crosstalk during type 2 immune responses are still

Prion Disease and the Innate Immune System [PDF]
Viruses, 2012 Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a unique category of infectious protein-misfolding neurodegenerative disorders. Hypothesized to be caused by misfolding of the cellular prion protein these disorders possess an infectious quality that thrives in immune-competent hosts.

The Role of Molecular Flexibility in Antigen Presentation and T Cell Receptor-Mediated Signaling
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Antigen presentation is a cellular process that involves a number of steps, beginning with the production of peptides by proteolysis or aberrant synthesis and the delivery of peptides to cellular compartments where they are loaded on MHC class I (MHC-I ...
