Disease relevance of Allergy and Immunology

 

High impact information on Allergy and Immunology

  • The immunology of the 65 kd heat shock protein (hsp65) is paradoxical [6].
  • Stress-induced immunological reactions to exercise have stimulated much research into stress immunology and neuroimmunology [7].
  • This physiological mechanism, termed the 'cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway' has major implications in immunology and in therapeutics; however, the identity of the essential macrophage acetylcholine-mediated (cholinergic) receptor that responds to vagus nerve signals was previously unknown [8].
  • Immunology: Fast and feel good [9]?
  • Immunology: Oxygen and the inflammatory cell [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Allergy and Immunology

 

Biological context of Allergy and Immunology

  • Recent advances in tumor immunology suggest that the expression of the histocompatibility antigens, encoded by the major histocompatibility complex, is important in controlling the metastatic growth of certain murine tumors [16].
  • The topics included: the interactions between immunogenic peptides, class I MHC molecules and T cell receptors; initiation, maintenance, and breakdown of self-tolerance in B lymphocytes; inflammatory disease in HLA-B27 transgenic rats; properties and functions of interleukin-10; and transforming growth factor-beta in reproductive immunology [17].
  • Thus, the low titer, low affinity naturally occurring antibody became functionally relevant by preferred generation of C3b-IgG complexes that can nucleate alternative complement pathway C3 convertases and represent the most effective opsonins (Fries, L. F., Siwik, S. A., Malbran, A., and Frank, M. M. (1987) Immunology 62, 45-51) [18].
  • The extent to which naive CD8(+) CTLs (T(CD8)(+)) are primed by APCs presenting endogenous Ags (direct priming) or Ags acquired from other infected cells (cross-priming) is a critical topic in basic and applied immunology [19].
  • A study of the safety, immunology, virology, and microbiology of adjunctive etanercept in HIV-1-associated tuberculosis [20].
 

Anatomical context of Allergy and Immunology

 

Associations of Allergy and Immunology with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Allergy and Immunology

  • Studies of the biology of the IL-2 receptor have played a major part in establishing several of the fundamental principles that govern our current understanding of immunology [31].
  • The pituitary secretory proteins growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) do not, as yet, have major roles in haematology or immunology [32].
  • In this review, we discuss how basic and clinical immunology have combined to provide major insights into the function of CD40 in T-B cell collaboration [33].
  • Of all the lymphokine-receptor systems in immunology, perhaps most is known about the structure, function, and binding properties of IL-2 and its cognate receptor [34].
  • We here review the potential role of HLA-G in RCC immunology, the HLA-G expression pattern and its functional consequences on immune responses [35].
