Arming the immune system

Effects of Maternal Immune System Status on Neonate’s Immune System

Background: This study evaluated the effects of the maternal immune system stimulation or suppression during the pregnancy on the development of the neonate’s immune system.Methods: A total of 20 female rats were divided into four groups. The groups were treated using Leishmania major, Salmonella typhimurium, Tacrolimus, and sterilized normal saline. The animals were mated after 3-time tr...

Nutrition and Immune System

تداوم سلامتی انسان با سیستم ایمنی بدن مرتبط است. این سیستم از بافتهای متنوع، سلولها و عواملی تشکیل شده است که از بدن در مقابل آنتی ژنهای مضر و پاتوژنها حفاظت می کند. سلولهای ایمنی در زمان وجود عفونت جهت محدود کردن ضایعات سلولی و بافتی، تجمع می یابند. یک شبکه نظارت متشکل از سلولهای ایمنی در تشخیص سلولهای غیر طبیعی عمل می کنند. توانایی بدن در محافظت از خود در برابر عوامل خارجی، بخصوص باکتریها، و...

Arming antitumor T cells

The immune system can only prevent cancer if it recognizes and destroys precancerous cells. Antigenic targets of such an early immune response, however, have been elusive. Spisek et al. (page 831) now find that an embryonic stem cell marker is a bull's eye for immune cells in patients who have precancerous lesions but never develop multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer that ...

The modeling of body's immune system using Bayesian Networks

In this paper, the urinary infection, that is a common symptom of the decline of the immune system, is discussed based on the well-known algorithms in machine learning, such as Bayesian networks in both Markov and tree structures. A large scale sampling has been executed to evaluate the performance of Bayesian network algorithm. A number of 4052 samples wereobtained from the database of the Tak...
