Mucosal Immune Responses in Upper Aerodigestive Tract. Bronchial Asthma and Immune Responses in the Respiratory Mucosa.

Induction of mucosal immune responses in the human genital tract.

Mucosae of the female and male genital tracts are the portals of entry for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) of viral, bacterial, and parasitic origin; worldwide, V120 000 000 cases of STDs are reported annually, but the true incidence is probably much higher. Infection with human immunode¢ciency virus (HIV) is no exception: epidemiologic data indicate that worldwide, 70^ 90% of all HIV infe...

Mucosal Immune Responses

Adjuvants modulating mucosal immune responses or directing systemic responses towards the mucosa.

In developing veterinary mucosal vaccines and vaccination strategies, mucosal adjuvants are one of the key players for inducing protective immune responses. Most of the mucosal adjuvants seem to exert their effect via binding to a receptor/or target cells and these properties were used to classify the mucosal adjuvants reviewed in the present paper: (1) ganglioside receptor-binding toxins (chol...

Different Immune Responses in Dangerous O Blood Donors

Background & Objective: Dangerous O is very important to transfusion medicine and there has been reports by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding some death relating incidences. As high iso-antibody production is closely associated with different immune reactions, a survey on the different immune response of dangerous O donors can lead to understanding their immune respo...

SARS-COV-2 Virus; Immune Responses and The Immunopathogenesis

Abstract Background and Objectives Clinical features of SARS-COV-2 virus include fever, headache, cough, sore throat, and shortness of breath, and in severe forms it leads to disseminated intravascular coagulation, septic shock, and ultimately death. Excessive secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 leads to cytokine storms in this disease. The emergence of new va...
