Editorial: Molecules Balancing Immunological Surveillance against Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
The innate and the adaptive immune systems work in concert to deal with pathologies introduced by internal and external factors (e.g., viruses, bacteria, and fungi) – some of which may be associated with the development of autoimmune and cancerous cells. Mechanistically, there are internal factors that are responsible for the hypo-and hyperfunction of immune tolerance apparatus. Consequently, i...
متن کاملTherapeutic Vaccines Against Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
Elucidation of antigenicity and immunogenicity My laboratory pioneered the design of amino acid oligomers to define the minimal and precise chemical characteristics of antigens – molecules that could be bound by antibodies (1). Using these tools, we determined the functional size of the antibody binding pocket, and characterized the effects of charge, hydrophobicity, and side chain interactions...
متن کاملCoinhibitory Molecules in Autoimmune Diseases
Coinhibitory molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1 and BTLA negatively regulate immune responses. Multiple studies indicate that the deficiency or mutation of coinhibitory molecules leads to the development of autoimmune diseases in mice and humans, indicating that the negative signals from coinhibitory molecules are crucial for the prevention of autoimmunity. In some conditions, the administration of...
متن کاملEditorial: Microbial and Environmental Factors in Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases
Pathogenesis of many autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases is largely driven by inappropriate or inadequate immune responses toward environmental challenges. Most of them are multifactorial. For example, assessment of disease risk factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) brings the share of genetic predisposition to 50–60%, with the rest attributed to environmental factors (1). Thus, the disease...
متن کاملBiological 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...
