Evolving adaptive immunity.
Generation of a diverse repertoire of antigen receptor specificities via DNA recombination underpins adaptive immunity. In this issue ofGenes&Development, Carmona and colleagues (pp. 909-917) provide novel insights into the origin and function of recombination-activating gene 1 (RAG1) and RAG2, the lymphocyte-specific components of the recombinase involved in the process.
متن کاملAdaptive immunity.
The innate immune system provides critical mechanisms for the rapid sensing and elimination of pathogens. Adaptive immunity has evolved to provide a broader and more finely tuned repertoire of recognition for both self- and nonself-antigens. Adaptive immunity involves a tightly regulated interplay between antigen-presenting cells and T and B lymphocytes, which facilitate pathogen-specific immun...
متن کاملGenomic basis of evolutionary change: evolving immunity
Complex traits are manifestations of intricate gene interaction networks. Evolution of complex traits revolves around the genetic variation in such networks. Genomics has increased our ability to investigate the complex gene interaction networks, and characterize the extent of genetic variation in these networks. Immunity is a complex trait, for which the ecological drivers and molecular networ...
متن کاملConfigurable immunity for evolving human-computer systems
The immunity model, as used in the GNU cfengine project, is a distributed framework for performing policy conformant system administration, used on hundreds of thousands of Unix-like and Windows systems. This paper describes the idealized approach to policy-guided maintenance, that is approximated by cfengine, building on the notion of ‘convergent’ operations, i.e. those that reach stable equil...
متن کاملHBV-Specific Adaptive Immunity
The successful control of HBV infection requires an efficient expansion of distinct elements of the adaptive immune system (B cells, helper and cytotoxic T cells) that, due to the hepatotropic nature of HBV, need to operate in the liver parenchyma. In this respect, we will discuss broad features of HBV immunity in patients with resolved or chronic HBV infection and analyze how the liver environ...
