To be, or not to be immunocompetent [PDF]
Critical Care, 2013 Several data support the view that impairment of the inflammatory-immune response is a hallmark of severe sepsis and the level and time of recovery to immunocompetence has a major impact on the clinical outcome of ICU patients. Recent studies demonstrate that improvement of anti-tumour immune response by targeting negative regulatory molecules, such as

Obesity and immunocompetence [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002 The increasing worldwide prevalence of obesity is a major health problem since excessive body weight constitutes a risk factor in a number of chronic diseases. It has been reported that obese individuals are more susceptible to infection than lean subjects; however, the underlying factors are not fully understood.

Efficacy testing of an immersion vaccine against Aeromonas salmonicida and immunocompetence in ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta, Ascanius) [PDF]
, 2022 The development of effective vaccines is a critical step towards the domestication of emerging fish species for aquaculture. However, traditional vaccine delivery through intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection requires fish to reach a minimum size and age and ...

Modeling Variability in Immunocompetence and Immunoresponsiveness
, 2008 The purposes of this paper were to 1) develop a stochastic model that would reflect observed variation between animals and across ages in immunocompetence and responsiveness; and 2) illustrate consequences of this variability for the statistical power of
