Immunology.

The pathological changes involved in the immunological lung diseases of the bronchiolar region are reviewed. Next, the possibility that BOOP and DPB, two diseases whose causes are presently unknown, are caused by immune responses, is discussed.

Degenerate recognition and response of human CD4+ Th cell clones: implications for basic and applied immunology.

It was once considered that the T cell response is an all or nothing type event, but recent studies have clearly indicated that T cells show many different types of activation in recognition of altered ligands for T cell receptors (TCR). In this review, we summarize our recent findings on the response of human CD4+ helper T (Th) cell clones to altered peptide ligands (APL); peptides carrying si...
