The immunobiology of zinc

Immunology Today, 1997
Abstract Zinc is required for range of immune functions, including T-cell activity, Here, Lothar Rink and colleagues review its roles, and discuss the implications for its therapeutic use.

The immunobiology of schistosomiasis

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2002
Schistosomes are parasitic worms that are a prime example of a complex multicellular pathogen that flourishes in the human host despite the development of a pronounced immune response. Understanding how the immune system deals with such pathogens is a daunting challenge.

The Immunobiology of Transplantation

Archives of Surgery, 1972
In the scant space of 200 pages, R. E. Billingham and W. K. Silvers have covered their large and expanding subject as only deeply grounded experts can. Aided by a series of particularly clear and informative illustrations, the sometimes complex experimental basis of the field is described with elegance and remarkable economy of words. The book appears

The Immunobiology of Abortion

New England Journal of Medicine, 1976
How is the fetus permitted 270 days of intrauterine life by the same mother who will promptly reject fetal or paternal tissues grafted at any other site? Intensive research effort during the past 20 years has yielded much new information, but this immunologic enigma remains unresolved.

The Immunobiology of Leishmaniasis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1983
Members of the genus Leishmania are important intracellular pathogens that produce either cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral disease in many areas of the world. In humans as well as in other mammals, the parasite is inoculated through the skin as a flagellated, extracellular promastigote by its arthropod vector, the sandfly.

Tumour immunobiology

Medical Hypotheses, 1981
A hypothesis for the interactional mechanism between tumour cells and the lymphopoeitic system, with its resulting sequence of immune depression is outlined, along with a review of the current literature relating to this area. The concept that the tumour cell surface is responsible not only for loss of cell surface contact inhibition, but also ...

Evolutionary immunobiology

Immunology Today, 1989
Identifying the evolutionary origin of inducible, specific immune recognition represents a major objective in developmental immunology. In order to address this issue from an overall phylogenetic perspective, major studies of cellular and humoral immune function are being undertaken using lower vertebrate and invertebrate models. Here, C.

Immunobiology of Asthma

Annual Review of Physiology, 2009
Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways in which there is an overabundance of eosinophils, mast cells, and activated T helper lymphocytes. These inflammatory cells release mediators that then trigger bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and remodeling.

Liver Immunobiology

Toxicologic Pathology, 2005
The liver has a number of important functions in innate and adaptive immunity. Contributions to the innate (nonspecific) immune system include production of acute phase proteins, nonspecific phagocytosis of particles, nonspecific pinocytosis of molecules, and nonspecific cell killing.

Gastropod Immunobiology

2010
Over their 500 million yearhistory, gastropods have radiated into marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments and adopted life styles ranging from herbivory to carnivory to endoparasitism to symbiont-mediated chemoautotrophy. They contend with many pathogens, including several lineages of specialized eukaryotic parasites.
