immunological basis of neurological diseases
Authors
abstract
clinical neurology has been traditionally considered as an academic speciality in which the specialist regurgitates his/her knowledge of neurology without being able to do much for the patient. this attitude is no longer acceptable. surge of information and discoveries in neurosciences within the last two decades translated into therapeutic interventions which is literally life saving in some occasions. neuroimmunology, without a doubt, has been in the forefront of such discoveries. just a few decades ago immunology of the nervous system was of little interest because brain was thought to be an immunologically “privileged” organ i.e. inaccessible to cellular and humeral immunity. today, however, clinical neurologists deal with neurological problem with immunological basis on a daily basis. this article tries to review such diseases and their current therapeutic strategy proceeded by an introduction to cns immunity. multiple sclerosis, as one of the most common cns disease with immunological basis, has been given more attention because of the growing number of affected people in iran.

Bee Venom (BV) has long been used in Korea to relieve pain symptoms and to treat inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The underlying mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions of BV have been proved to some extent. Additionally, recent clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that BV and BV-derived active components are applicable to a wide range of imm...

The anti-tumor response of human invariant NKT (NKT) cells is well established. A novel T cell subset, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, possesses similar regulatory properties to NKT cells in autoimmune models and disease. Here, we examined the clonality of four T cell subsets expressing invariant aTCR, including Va7.2-Ja33 of MAIT cells, in 19 kidney and brain tumors. The MAIT clon...
