The Saints Cosmas and Damian, who lived in the third century allegedly, treated a white patient by removing one of his legs and by grafting that of a black man who had died the same day (Figure 1.1) (1). In modern times, many experimental transplantations, mostly in dogs and cats and then in humans, were attempted in the twenties and thir...
متن کاملAn introduction to immunology and immunopathology
In basic terms, the immune system has two lines of defense: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the first immunological, non-specific (antigen-independent) mechanism for fighting against an intruding pathogen. It is a rapid immune response, occurring within minutes or hours after aggression, that has no immunologic memory. Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is antigen-d...
متن کاملIntroduction—target organ toxicity
The effects of progressive cachexia on protein metabolism in skeletal muscle has been investigated in mice bearing the MAC 16 adenocarcinoma which produces cachexia with tumour burdens of <1% of the host weight. Weight loss was accompanied by loss of whole body nitrogen in proportion to the overall loss of body mass. Using L-[4-3H]phenylalanine to label proteins in gastrocnemious muscle, a sign...
متن کاملTissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
