Immunomodulatory and pro-inflammatory effects of allogeneic blood transfusion
Introduction The question we confront is whether observations of immunologic consequences of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) represent only laboratory curiosities or clinically relevant alterations in the recipient’s immune function—the so-called immunomodulatory effect of ABT. The constellation of all such ABT-associated laboratory and clinical findings is known as transfusion-related immun...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory mediators in platelet transfusion reactions.
Our appreciation of the roles that platelets play in vascular biology is constantly expanding. One of the major roles of platelets is in initiating and accelerating immune responses. Platelet transfusion may be associated with adverse inflammatory outcomes manifested as fever, discomfort, tachycardia, and respiratory issues. This may in part be due to immune mediators either expressed by activa...

BLOOD is good for you. What Goethe described as “ein ganz besonderer Saft” is the very stuff of life. It is not blood but other people’s blood that worries us. We have good reason for this concern. For more than 300 years, the therapeutic promise of blood transfusion has been tempered by the recognition of adverse reactions, often mild, but occasionally acute, dramatic, and lethal. The public h...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory effects of food
There is a strong consensus that nutrition plays a role in modulating immune function and that the immune system needs adequate supply of nutrients to function properly. The complexity of the immune system supports this idea because its optimal functioning involves a variety of biological activities including cell division and proliferation, energy metabolism, and production of proteins. The mi...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Effects of Radiotherapy
It is well known that radiotherapy, as mainly locoregional treatment, has systemic eff ects as well. The term abscopal eff ect (latin: ab – away from; scopus – target) has been used to describe the regression of distant tumor metastases after completion of primary tumor radiation therapy. It has been shown that radiotherapy can initiate systemic antitumor immunologic response which includes the...
