Immunity in plants and animals: common ends through different means using similar tools
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-05-01)
A comparative approach is potentially useful for understanding the role of mammal innate immunity role in stimulating adaptive immunity as well as the relationship between these two types of immune strategies. Considerable ...
Immunology of Dermatophytosis
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The immune response to infection by dermatophytes ranges from a non-specific host mechanism to a humoral and cell-mediated immune response. The currently accepted view is that a cell-mediated immune response is responsible ...
The neonatal immune system: immunomodulation of infections in early life
(EXPERT REVIEWSLONDON, 2012)
The innate and adaptive immune responses in neonates are usually functionally impaired when compared with their adult counterparts. The qualitative and quantitative differences in the neonatal immune response put them at ...
Immune variation during pregnancy suggests immune component-specific costs of reproduction in a viviparous snake with disparate life-history strategies.
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-12)
Growing evidence suggests the existence of trade-offs between immune function and reproduction in diverse taxa. Among vertebrates, however, there is still a taxonomic bias toward studies in endotherms, particularly birds. ...
Immune mechanism, aging, season and diseases: modulatory role of melatonin
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2012-12)
Immune mechanism of the body plays an important role in arresting neoplastic growth and in controlling infectious diseases. The innate immunity, adaptive immunity comprising of cellular and humoral immunity have distinct ...
Turning 'sweet' on immunity: galectin–glycan interactions in immune tolerance and inflammation
(Macmillan Publisher Limited, 2009-05)
The function of deciphering the biological information encoded by the glycome, which is the entire repertoire of complex sugar structures expressed by cells and tissues, is assigned in part to endogenous glycan-binding ...
Glycobiology of immune responses
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2012-04-23)
Unlike their protein roommates and their nucleic acid cousins, carbohydrates remain an enigmatic arm of biology. The central reason for the difficulty in fully understanding how carbohydrate structure and biological function ...
SLAM and CD31: signaling molecules involved in cytokine secretion during the development of innate and adaptive immune responses
(Elsevier, 2007-02)
Immune cells are modulated through the crosslinking of receptors named “immunoreceptors”. Ligation of immunoreceptors by their ligands induces a tyrosine-phosphorylation signal that is essential for cell activation or ...
Stage-specific role of interferon-gamma in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis
(Frontiers Media, 2015)
The role of interferon (IFN)-gamma in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), has remained as an enigmatic paradox for more than 30 years. Several studies attribute ...
A Dynamical Modeling to Study the Adaptive Immune System and the Influence of Antibodies in the Immune Memory
(TECH SCIENCE PRESS, 2009)
Immunological systems have been an abundant inspiration to contemporary computer scientists. Problem solving strategies, stemming from known immune system phenomena, have been successfully applied to chall enging problems ...
