Toll-free autoimmunity
Proteins secreted by parasite eggs might hold the key to the next antiinflammatory therapy. On page 1319, Smith and colleagues describe the first chemokine binding protein (CKBP) produced by a human pathogen and show that it can suppress acute inflammation in disease models. The blood-dwelling worm Schistosoma mansoni takes advantage of the host’s immune system in two ways. It subverts specific...
متن کاملToll-like receptor ligands energize peptide vaccines through multiple paths.
The potential of vaccines for cancer therapy or prevention has yet to be realized. Recently, we showed that using an immunologic adjuvant composed of a Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand can increase the production of antitumor CTLs produced by a peptide vaccine in a mouse model of breast cancer. By increasing the cross talk between the innate and adaptive immune systems, TLR ligands can drive exp...
متن کاملGiving Needle-Free Flu Vaccines a Shot
A utumn is here: Time to get a flu shot. But that seasonal jab in the arm may someday be history. Some less invasive immunization options are already available, and other developments now in clinical testing could make flu vaccines more effective and convenient. Vaccines for many infectious diseases confer long-term immunity with one shot or a series of injections, but researchers haven’t yet f...
متن کاملCardiac RAGE in sepsis: call TOLL free for anti-RAGE.
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection. The hallmarks of clinical sepsis are a broad range of systemic and organ function aberrations, including core temperature (hypothermia or hyperthermia), cardiac (rate and contractility), and respiratory and hematologic perturbations. When sepsis results in at least 1 organ failure or dysfunction, it is classified as sev...
متن کاملStructure free highway toll collection using non-repudiated tickets
This paper proposes a concept of how to collect toll on highways. Unlike any existing method, the proposed approach requires no structure to be built on highways for the toll collection purpose and drivers are not required to stop or even slow down to pay toll. Toll must be prepaid in advance and a driver must keep a toll ticket as proof of payment. We apply public key cryptographic operations ...
