Biological and Immunological Reactions in Parasitic Diseases
Processed antigen reacts selectively with lymphocytes bearing .appropriate surface immunoglobulin molecules resulting in the clonal proliferation of these cells, producing circulating immunoglobulin (humoral immunity) or non-circulating immunoglobulins (cellular immunity). High levels of circulating immunoglobulins (lgM & lgG) occur in protozoa and helminths infections. Reaginic antibodies a...
متن کاملIonotropic Glutamate Receptors and their Role in Neurological Diseases
Glutamate is extensively and relatively uniformly distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) and its effects mediated by two distinct groups of receptors including Ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Concentration of glutamate in the nervous system is much higher than in other tissues. Glutamate receptors play an important role in synaptic transmission, neural plasticity and n...
متن کاملChemokines and Their Role in Dopaminergic Development
The main pathological hallmark in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), affecting movements such as walking, talking and writing. Today, there is no cure available for PD and existing treatments only provide symptomatic relief, but the prospect of using stem cell based cell replacement therapies for patients with PD have prov...
متن کاملPotential Role of CC Chemokines and their Receptors in the Development of Respiratory Diseases
Increasing evidence suggests that the chemokine system coordinates leukocyte migration in immunity and inflammation, involving in the pathogenesis of many pulmonary diseases. Chemokines are small proteins which interact with specific receptors to exert their chemotactic functions for inflammatory cells and constitutive cells. Among the complex system, CC chemokine receptors (CCRs) represent a s...
متن کاملParasitic diseases and fungal infections – their increasing importance in medicine
Basing on 43 lectures and reports from the scope of current parasitological and mycological issues presented during the 50th Jubilee Clinical Day of Medical Parasitology (Lodz, 19–20 May 2011), the increasing importance of parasitic diseases and mycoses in medicine was presented. Difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of both imported parasitoses (malaria, intestinal amoebiosis, mansonelliasis...
