'Dung of the devil' plant roots point to new swine flu drugs
Scientists in China have discovered that roots of a plant used a century ago during the great Spanish influenza pandemic contains substances with powerful effects in laboratory experiments in killing the H1N1 swine flu virus that now threatens the world. view more (2009-09-10)
UGA researchers one step closer to cancer vaccine
When cells become cancerous, the sugars on their surfaces undergo distinct changes that set them apart from healthy cells. For decades, scientists have tried to exploit these differences by training the immune system to attack cancerous cells before they can spread and ravage the body. view more (2007-10-30)
Immune genes adapt to parasites
Thank parasites for making some of our immune proteins into the inflammatory defenders they are today. view more (2009-05-26)
Immune system discovery could aid fight against TB
A key aspect of how the body kicks the immune system into action against tuberculosis is revealed in research published today. view more (2006-10-23)
UCLA scientists discover immune response to HIV differs, even in identical twins
In findings illustrating the difficulty of developing an AIDS vaccine, UCLA AIDS Institute researchers report the immune systems in two HIV-positive identical twins responded to the infection in different ways. view more (2005-12-07)
Tattooing improves response to DNA vaccine
A tattoo can be more than just a fashion statement - it has potential medical value, according to an article published in the online open access journal, Genetic Vaccines and Therapy. view more (2008-02-07)
Why some primates, but not humans, can live with immunodeficiency viruses and not progress to AIDS
Key differences in immune system signaling and the production of specific immune regulatory molecules may explain why some primates are able to live with an immunodeficiency virus infection without progressing to AIDS-like illness, unlike other primate species, including rhesus macaques and humans, that succumb to disease. view more (2008-09-17)
OHSU Cancer Institute researcher: radiation, immunotherapy gives greater effectiveness
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found the right formula of radiation and immunotherapy for fighting lung cancer tumors in mice, which they hope will translate to better treatment in human lung cancers. view more (2008-09-26)
UCLA researchers observe how the immune system recognizes and responds to cancer
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center were able to observe-in real time-how the immune system initially recognizes cancer and mobilizes to fight the disease. view more (2005-11-15)
Baffling the body into accepting transplants
An unexpected discovery made by a Sydney scientist has potential to alter the body's response to anything it perceives as not 'self', such as a tissue or organ transplant. view more (2009-01-21)
Using a small stockpile of a secondary antiviral drug in a flu pandemic
In a global influenza pandemic, small stockpiles of a secondary flu medication - if used early in local outbreaks - could extend the effectiveness of primary drug stockpiles, according to research made available today ahead of publication in PLoS Medicine. view more (2009-05-01)
First European trial for new breast cancer vaccine
European clinical trials are under way in Denmark and the UK testing a new breast cancer vaccine targeted against the HER-2 growth factor.* HER-2 is overexpressed in about a quarter of all breast cancers and has become a key target for new treatments, such as the monoclonal antibody therapy Herceptin. But, the development of a vaccine by Danish... view more... (2002-03-18)
USC researchers find new clues to risk of Hodgkin lymphoma
A long-term study of twins has led University of Southern California (USC) researchers to find potential links between Hodgkin lymphoma and levels of an immune response protein (interleukin-12). view more (2008-04-02)
Poxvirus Potency Uncovered in New Atomic Map
Scientists at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Saint Louis University used X-ray crystallography to uncover new details about the infectious potency of poxviruses, furthering the understanding of how viral infections can subvert the body's immune system. view more (2008-02-04)
How to select anti-hepatitis B virus agents for drug-resistance patients?
HBV infection may lead to acute liver disease, chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Over 350 million people worldwide are estimated to be infected chronically by HBV and are therefore at risk of liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. view more (2008-09-25)
Viral recombination another way HIV fools the immune system
When individuals infected with HIV become infected with a second strain of the virus, the two viral strains can exchange genetic information, creating a third, recombinant strain of the virus. It is known that the presence of multiple viral strains, called superinfection, frequently leads to a loss of immune control of viral levels. view more (2008-07-22)
New culprit for viral infections among elderly -- an overactive immune response
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that exaggerated responses of the immune system explain why the elderly succumb to viral infections more readily than younger people. view more (2009-11-19)
Can liver cirrhosis be partially cured?
The diffusion of hepatitis C virus infection worldwide is astonishing. Liver cirrhosis is present in at least 10-20% of these infected patients, with highly increasing health care and emotional costs. view more (2007-10-11)
Rac 1 and 2, two proteins essential to triggering of the immune response
The dendritic cells act as the body's sentries, standing guard around the clock. As soon as they detect a potential enemy, they alert the T cells, whose role is to defend the body. At the Institut Curie, CNRS researchers in an Inserm laboratory have filmed the encounter of dendritic cells and T cells. They have shown that this "rendez-vous",... view more... (2004-08-23)
Healthy human immune system cells can respond to HIV-1
AIDS patients' failure to clear HIV-1 might not be due to the inability of the human immune system to recognise the virus, as was previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
