During the last 30 years of psychoneuroimmunology research the intense bi-directional communication between the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system has been demonstrated in studies on the interaction between the nervous-endocrine-immune syst ...
More than 350 millions individuals worldwide suffer from chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a condition that evolves towards liver insufficiency and hepatocellular carcinoma in approximately 15 to 40 percent of cases. Yet the majority of de novo HB ...
In naive individuals, the administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) provokes a rapid systemic increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6, inducing an acute phase response inc ...
The liver is known to be a classical immunoprivileged site with a relatively high resistance against immune responses. Here we demonstrate that highly activated liver-specific effector CD8+ T cells alone were not sufficient to trigger immune destruction of ...
The immune response to soluble antigens constitutes a current clinical problem impeding the development of protein therapeutics. We have developed an encapsulated-cell delivery system, which, transiently combined with an anti-CD154 antibody treatment, allo ...
Clotting is critical in limiting hemolymph loss and initiating wound healing in insects as in vertebrates. It is also an important immune defense, quickly forming a secondary barrier to infection, immobilizing bacteria and thereby promoting their killing. ...
BACKGROUND: Monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments are powerful biotherapeutics for various debilitating diseases. However, high production costs, functional limitations such as inadequate pharmacokinetics and tissue accessibility are the current pri ...
T lymphocytes (T cells) are key components of the adaptive immune system. These cells are able to recognize an enormous variety of pathogens thanks to the great specificity of their trans-membrane proteins, the T cell receptors (TCRs). TCR diversity is cre ...
Immune-to-brain communication is essential for an individual to aptly respond to challenging internal and external environments. However, the specificity by which the central nervous system detects or 'senses' peripheral immune challenges is still poorly u ...
Immunosuppressive and antiviral prophylactic drugs are needed to prevent acute rejection and infection after transplantation. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the introduction of universal valganciclovir prophylaxis in combination with a tacrolimus/m ...
