Monitoring immune responses in disease
A recent study published in Clinical Immunology, the official journal of the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), describes a new method enabling the detection of multiple parameters of single human cells. view more (2008-09-04)
Asthma risk increases in children treated for HIV
Children whose immune systems rebound after treatment with potent anti-viral drugs for HIV infection face an increased risk of developing asthma, said a federally funded consortium of researchers led by those from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. view more (2008-07-02)
Drug rescues memory lost to Alzheimer's disease
A drug similar to one used in clinical trials for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis has been found to rescue memory in mice exhibiting Alzheimer's symptoms. view more (2009-07-15)
Novel method of immunization that completely eliminates malaria parasites
Singapore scientists report that they have discovered a novel method of immunization that completely eliminates the malaria parasites in both stages of the parasite's development. view more (2009-02-02)
Immunologists find better way to boost the immune system
Immunologists have discovered how to manipulate the immune system to increase its power and protect the body from successive viral infections. view more (2008-01-23)
Preclinical study suggests organ-transplant drug may aid in lupus fight
A compound related to a drug used in humans to prevent organ-transplant rejection attacks a key biochemical process in the faulty immune cells of lupus-prone mice, suggesting a possible new approach to combating the disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-08-16)
The right messenger for a healthy immune response
Researchers from the Molecular Immunology group at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, Germany have now shown that Beta-Interferon also plays a crucial role during an immune response: without Beta-Interferon immune cells are unable to show "wanted posters" of pathogens to other cells. view more (2009-07-20)
Towards rational vaccine design
A recent study published in Immunology Letters, the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), describes strategies for selective priming of B cells using various adjuvants. view more (2007-04-25)
How superbugs control their lethal weapons
It appears that some superbugs have evolved to develop the ability to manipulate the immune system to everyone's advantage. view more (2009-05-26)
Be a control freak: Allergists outline new focus for asthmatics
A Mayo Clinic allergist and colleagues representing the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology announce they are revising the old classification of asthma patients by disease severity to determine treatment and moving to a new expectation for all asthma patients. view more (2005-10-25)
SIV infection of natural hosts provides new insights into HIV disease complexity
Three related papers published in the Sept. 1 edition of The Journal of Immunology provide key new insights into the complexity of HIV/AIDS. view more (2007-09-07)
Cutting-edge health care training in Africa
Oxford University researchers are developing a pilot `E-learning Certification Programme in Global Health` directed at health professionals working in Africa, following a donation of US $500,000 (£325,000) from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Increasing strains on the health care system in many African countries created by AIDS and... view more... (2002-10-25)
Are we winning against TB?
A TB expert at the University of Leicester has warned: "We are not winning against tuberculosis." Mike Barer, Professor of Clinical Microbiology in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, said: "The Chief Medical Officer urged us to "get ahead of the curve" in his report on infection earlier this year. We are... view more... (2002-10-07)
Science commentary stresses need for collaboration at local level in HIV-prevention studies
Clinical trials of drugs intended to prevent HIV infection in high-risk populations must be developed and carried out in close collaboration with the local communities and national governments of the countries in which they are conducted, according to 18 international leaders in HIV prevention writing in the current (Sept. 30, 2005) issue of... view more...

Sunnybrook researchers identify which sets of molecules are required to induce T cells
Researchers at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have made a critical discovery in T cell development bringing immunologists one step closer to enabling the creation of tailored T cell therapy that could one day be used to treat patients with AIDS or other immune system deficiencies. view more (2006-07-26)
Children's Hospital scientists identify possible target for prevention and treatment of pneumonia
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a key protein target that may be a crucial factor in the development of a vaccine to prevent and new therapies to treat pneumonia, the leading killer of children worldwide. view more (2008-02-12)
ICS most effective for persistent asthma in children
While both inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) have been proven to help control mild-to-moderate persistent asthma in school-age children, a new study shows ICS may be the more effective treatment. view more (2006-01-11)
Previously unknown immune cell may help those with Crohn's and colitis
The tonsils and lymphoid tissues in the intestinal tract that help protect the body from external pathogens are the home base of a rare immune cell newly identified by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-11-04)
Immunologists identify biochemical signals that help immune cells remember how to fight infection
Immunology researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how two biochemical signals play unique roles in promoting the development of a group of immune cells employed as tactical assassins. view more (2009-05-29)
Mathematicians help unlock secrets of the immune system
A group of scientists, led by mathematicians, has taken on the challenge of building a common model of immune responses. view more (2007-10-10)
