متن کاملO 29: Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis Introduction, Immunopathogenesis and Classification
Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a unique disease among all autoimmune disorders in two ways. First, there are a wide range of sub-specialties involved in the diagnosis and management of MG; secondly MG is an autoimmune disorder whose autoimmunity is well established. In this paper I will cover these topics: history and epidemiology of MG followed by a brief overview on physiology of neurom...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of hepatitis C virus infection.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a non-cytopathic hepatotropic virus that can lead to severe liver disease including acute hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Successful clearance of the virus as well as the establishment of liver disease is largely driven by a complex interaction between the virus and the host immune response. In this review, the immunological events, includ...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis and Immunotherapy for Viral Hepatitis
Neither hepatitis B virus (HBV) nor hepatitis C virus (HCV) is cytopathic, and hepatitis is caused by the host immune response against virus-related peptides expressed on hepatocytes in conjunction with human leukocyte antigens (HLA). In acute self-limiting hepatitis, a broad immune response occurs that is strong enough to eradicate the virus or suppress viral replication (Rehermann, 1996). How...
متن کاملHepatitis delta: immunopathogenesis and clinical challenges.
Hepatitis delta is caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV) and is considered to be the most severe form of viral hepatitis in humans. Hepatitis delta occurs only in hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive individuals as HDV is a defective RNA virus which requires the HBsAg for complete replication and transmission. Eight different HDV genotypes have been described ...
