It is not only for you to be success in certain life you can be successful in everything. The success can be started by kno...
متن کاملInduction of cardiac autoimmunity in Chagas heart disease: a case for molecular mimicry.
Up to 18 million of individuals are infected by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America, one third of whom will develop chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathy (CCC) up to 30 years after infection. Cardiomyocyte destruction is associated with a T cell-rich inflammatory infiltrate and fibrosis. The presence of such lesions in the relative scarcity of parasites in the heart, sugge...
متن کاملInduction, acceleration or prevention of autoimmunity by molecular mimicry.
The hypothesis that cross-reactivity between microbial and self determinants recognized by the adaptive immune system could induce autoimmune diseases is very intriguing. However, definite proof in humans is very difficult to achieve and evidence is frequently circumstantial. Therefore, animal models are instrumental for understanding, how and when mimicry could be involved in the pathogenesis ...
متن کاملAutoimmunity and molecular mimicry in the pathogenesis of post-streptococcal heart disease.
Molecular mimicry between pathogen and host has been proposed as a mechanism for the development of autoimmune diseases. Evidence suggests that microorganisms contain proteins which are similar enough to host proteins that they can stimulate existing B and T cells to respond to self proteins. The loss of immune regulation during responses against microbial antigens may explain development of pa...
متن کاملInborn errors of metabolism as a cause of neurological disease in adults: an approach to investigation.
In 1927 Archibald Garrod presented the Huxley Lecture at Charing Cross Hospital Out of this lecture emerged the concept of an “inborn error of metabolism” whereby an inherited defect may lead to the accumulation in cells or body fluids of a metabolite which in itself may predispose to disease. The disorders cited as examples were all adult onset disorders. Today there are over 200 known inborn ...
