Oral Tolerance: Therapeutic Implications for Autoimmune Diseases
Oral tolerance is classically defined as the suppression of immune responses to antigens (Ag) that have been administered previously by the oral route. Multiple mechanisms of tolerance are induced by oral Ag. Low doses favor active suppression, whereas higher doses favor clonal anergy/deletion. Oral Ag induces Th2 (IL-4/IL-10) and Th3 (TGF-beta) regulatory T cells (Tregs) plus CD4+CD25+ regulat...
متن کاملP 86: CD166 as a Therapeutic Target in Autoimmune Diseases
About 3 decades ago CD6 identified as one of the first antigens expresses on the majority of T cells and a subset of B cells. CD6 regulates cellular adhesion migration across the endothelial and epithelial cells. In recent years researches indicate its role in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Many researches have been done in recent years to block CD6 by CD6 mono clonal antibodies, IOR-T1 a...
متن کاملTherapeutic apheresis in autoimmune diseases
Systemic autoimmune diseases based on an immune pathogenesis produce autoantibodies and circulating immune complexes, which cause inflammation in the tissues of various organs. In most cases, these diseases have a bad prognosis without treatment. Therapeutic apheresis in combination with immunosuppressive therapies has led to a steady increase in survival rates over the last 35 years. Here we p...
متن کاملNew Therapeutic Challenges in Autoimmune Diseases
The immune system is the body’s main line of defense against invasion by infectious organisms, such as bacteria, virus, and fungi. In normal immune systems, an immune response does not occur against the self-antigen, and is called self-tolerance. Autoimmune diseases occur when body tissues are attacked by the body’s own immune system due to loss of tolerance to self-antigens (Dejaco et al., 200...
متن کاملTherapeutic Vaccines Against Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
Elucidation of antigenicity and immunogenicity My laboratory pioneered the design of amino acid oligomers to define the minimal and precise chemical characteristics of antigens – molecules that could be bound by antibodies (1). Using these tools, we determined the functional size of the antibody binding pocket, and characterized the effects of charge, hydrophobicity, and side chain interactions...
