Deficient regulators in the immune system responsible for type 1 diabetes
The main regulators of the immune system, called CD4+Treg cells, are thought to be highly involved in a large range of immune diseases. view more (2008-01-25)
Resisting lung cancer recurrence
What if we could prevent cancer recurrence for years after surgery by giving simple recall injections every two or three years" This concept may no longer be a fantasy. view more (2008-02-05)
Researchers find that later-life diseases resulting from fetal and infant toxicity have common immune pattern
A Cornell researcher and his wife have conducted the first comprehensive review of later-life diseases that develop in people who were exposed to environmental toxins or drugs either in the womb or as infants. They have found that most of the diseases have two things in common: They involve an imbalanced immune system and exaggerated inflammatory... view more... (2007-05-03)
USC researchers discover novel way to develop tumor vaccines
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have uncovered a new way to develop more effective tumor vaccines by turning off the suppression function of regulatory T cells. view more (2008-03-03)
Scientists Develop Method to Track Immune System Enzyme in Live Animals
Scientists supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) at the National Institutes of Health have created two mouse strains that will permit researchers to trace, in a live animal, the activity of an enzyme believed to play a crucial role both in the normal immune response as well as autoimmunity... view more...

Progress made in HIV vaccine development
Researchers have successfully tested two candidate vaccines that may eventually be used together to confer immunity against HIV infection. Their findings are published in the December 15 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2006-11-13)
Source of crucial immune cell in the skin discovered
Identification of precursor cell may lead to tumor immunotherapy as well as new treatment for rare disorder. view more (2006-01-30)
Chronic infection persists by targeting stromal cell network in lymphoid organs
One of the biggest challenges to treating infectious diseases and developing preventive vaccines is the ability of many chronic infections to suppress the immune T-cell response over time. view more (2007-09-19)
How do you make the perfect vaccine?
A big challenge in vaccine design is how to trigger a protective immune response with the safest possible vaccine. Research into how Salmonella bacteria cause infection is leading to safer, more effective, vaccines against typhoid and other diseases, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General... view more...

Thale cress goes on the defensive
Thale cress has a complicated defence technique against insects and microorganisms that use the plant as a source of food. view more (2007-05-15)
Hodgkin lymphoma -- new characteristics discovered
Researchers are still discovering new characteristics of Hodgkin lymphoma, a common form of cancer of the lymphatic system. The malignant cells are derived from white blood cells (B cells), but have lost a considerable part of the B cell-specific gene expression pattern. view more (2008-10-09)
Protein's New Role Discovered in Autoimmune Disease
Investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have identified the previously unknown role of a chemical 'messenger' leading to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. view more (2008-01-03)
Regulatory B cells exist -- and pack a punch
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have uncovered definitive evidence that a small but potent subset of immune system B cells is able to regulate inflammation. view more (2008-05-28)
IL-21 receptor plays an essential role in the Th2 immune response
During the immune response cells known as Th2 cells express a variety of cytokines (e.g. interleukin-4, -5, and -13), many of which stimulate B cells to proliferate and produce antibodies. view more (2006-06-16)
Allergy season: Cigarettes to the rescue?
Everyone knows that smoking can kill you, but did you know that it may help with your allergies? A new study shows that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens. view more (2009-05-15)
Comparison of immune response to 1918 and H5N1 influeza viruses shows similarities
A comparison of the 1918 Spanish influenza and the H5N1 avian influenza viruses suggests that while the two viruses appear to trigger a similar abnormal immune response in animal models, there are distinct differences. view more (2007-03-01)
Residual fetal cells in women may provide protection against breast cancer
Fetal cells that persist in a woman's body long after pregnancy - a common occurrence known in scientific circles as fetal microchimerism - in some cases may reduce the woman's risk of breast cancer. view more (2007-10-01)
Gene regulates immune cells' ability to harm the body
A recently identified gene allows immune cells to start the self-destructive processes thought to underlie autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-07-17)
Molecular fossils uncover link between viruses and the immune system
Researchers from the Viikki Biocenter, University of Helsinki, show that atomic structures can reveal evolutionary history of viruses in a similar fashion as fossils did for the dinosaurs and reptiles. Their article is published in the April 15 issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2005-04-14)
Ozone shuts down early immune response in lungs and body
As policy makers debate what levels of ozone in the air are safe for humans to breathe, studies in mice are revealing that the inhaled pollutant impairs the body's first line of defense, making it more susceptible to subsequent foreign invaders, such as bacteria. view more (2007-10-01)
