Immunologic Factors

2006
AbstractThis chapter discusses the immunologic factors in cancer. Topics covered include structure and function of the immune system, immune variation and cancer risk, and age-related changes in immune function. Experience with a wide range of immune deficient conditions indicates that loss of immune competence does not globally increase cancer ...

Forkhead transcription factors in immunology

CMLS Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2005
The forkhead (Fox) gene family comprises a diverse group of "winged-helix" transcription factors that play important roles in development, metabolism, cancer and aging. Recently, several forkhead genes have been demonstrated to play critical roles in lymphocyte development and effector function, including Foxp3 in the development of regulatory T cells,

Immunological factors in senile dementia

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1982
Sixty‐four patients suffering from senile dementia were compared with 71 age‐matched controls suffering from functional psychiatric illness, in terms of their chromosome complement, tuberculin and dinitrochlorobenzene response and total immunoglobulin levels.

On the immunology of nerve growth factor

Neuroscience Letters, 1985
We report some experiments on the immunological properties of nerve growth factor from the venom of Heloderma horridum and from bull seminal vesicles. On the basis of these results, taken together with results already in the literature, we propose an operational definition of the term nerve growth factor.

Immunologic Factors in Pernicious Anemia

Postgraduate Medicine, 1967
Pernicious anemia may be congenital or acquired. The congenital form is rare. The acquired form usually occurs in persons over 50 years of age. Autoantibody directed against intrinsic factor is present in the majority of patients and is considered to be diagnostic of pernicious anemia.

An Evaluation of Immunologic Factors of Infertility

Fertility and Sterility, 1967
This paper reviews earlier studies identifying 3 possible immunologic causes of infertility: autoimmunity ABO blood group incompatibility and isoagglutination and presents results of recent studies including an analysis of the incidence of isoagglutinations autoagglutinations and ABO incompatibility in a group of couples with unexplained primary or ...

Molecular Immunology of Factor VIII

Annual Review of Medicine, 1974
Molecular immunology has served to better characterize the molecular defects underlying the two principal inherited abnormalities of Factor VIII-classic hemo­ philia and von Willebrand's disease. Of particular significance has been the ability of specific antibodies to detect Factor VIII molecules that are partially or totally deficient in their ...

Immunological factors in organ transplantation

Intensive Care Medicine, 1989
Several immunological factors affect the outcome of human kidney transplants. HLA-A, -B and -DR matching improves kidney graft survival rate, especially matching for HLA-DR antigens. The beneficial effect of pretransplant blood transfusion has been confirmed although the mechanisms of the beneficial effect are not clear.

Immunologic Factors in Thyroid Disease

Medical Clinics of North America, 1985
The role of immunologic reactions against orbital-specific and orbital-thyroid antigens in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disorders and Graves' ophthalmopathy is discussed. Possible mechanisms for the association of ophthalmopathy and autoimmune thyroid disorders is discussed in relation to the role of autoantibodies against eye muscle antigens.
