IMMUNITY REACTIONS IN HYDRATED AND CONCENTRATED TISSUE

Tissue Reactions in Immunity: Some Clinical Implications *

Immunology has thus far been of relatively limited help to physicians in interpreting the immunologic rOle of specific tissue reactions that accompany bacterial invasion. The immunologist has been of outstanding help in bringing to light the defensive properties of the fluids with their antibodies, and of the phagocytes. In interpreting the reactions of the fixed tissues against bacterial attac...

The Effect of Inflammatory Reactions on Tissue Immunity

1. Animals showing natural bacterial allergy to filtrates of B. lepisepticum survive infection by this organism more frequently than weak reactors. This increased resistance is manifested by better localization of infection. 2. Bacterial filtrates injected into skin 24 hours before infection exert a non-specific protection of that area against the organism, even in susceptible animals. The cell...

Antibodies testing, Immunity and immunity passport in Covid-19

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected most countries in the world. Our knowledge of diagnostic tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is evolving, and it is important to have a clear understanding of the nature of the tests and the interpretation of their findings. In this paper, the purpose is to interpret the results of two typ...

Adipose tissue immunity and cancer

Inflammation and altered immune response are important components of obesity and contribute greatly to the promotion of obesity-related metabolic complications, especially cancer development. Adipose tissue expansion is associated with increased infiltration of various types of immune cells from both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Thus, adipocytes and infiltrating immune cells secrete ...
