Modulation of macrophage immune responses by Echinacea.
Echinacea preparations are widely used herbal medicines for the prevention and treatment of colds and minor infections. There is little evidence for the individual components in Echinacea that contribute to immune regulatory activity. Activity of an ethanolic Echinacea extract and several constituents, including cichoric acid, have been examined using three in vitro measures of macrophage immun...
متن کاملImmune responses against multiple epitopes.
The current understanding of antigenic escape dynamics is based on models with single epitopes. The usual idea is that a mutation which enables a pathogen (virus, bacteria, etc) to escape from a given immune response confers a selective advantage. The "escape mutant" may then increase in abundance until it induces a new specific response against itself. In this paper a new picture is developed,...

متن کاملAutoimmuno-Anti-Tumor Immunity – Understanding the Immune Responses against “self” and “Altered-Self”
The brief description of tumors being “wounds that do not heal” by Dr. Harold F. Dworak nearly three decades ago (N Engl J Med, 1986) (1) has provided not only a vivid illustration of neoplastic diseases in general but also, in retrospect conceptually, a plausible immunological definition of cancers. Based on our current understanding in the field, it could have even a multi-dimensional meaning...
متن کاملAngiotensin II amplifies macrophage-driven atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the role of angiotensin II (AII) in a marrow-derived macrophage-driven model of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice were reconstituted with bone marrow harvested from apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/---> apoE+/+) or wild-type for apoE gene (apoE+/+--> apoE+/+) mice. At 20 weeks, mice were exposed to either AII (1000 ng/kg per min...
