Exhaustion of HIV-specific T cells may be caused by chronic exposure to virus
The "exhaustion" of immune cells that target HIV appears to result from chronic exposure to the virus, specifically exposure to the particular protein segments targeted by the pathogen-killing HIV-specific CD8 T cells. view more (2008-05-06)
Borrelia infection from a tick bite just as possible in a city centre park
The chances of getting a Borrelia infection from a tick bite are no different in a city centre park than they are out in the archipelago. This is one of the recent discoveries of Professor Matti Viljanen and his research team who are looking into how the Borrelia bacteria deceives and manipulates the human immune defence system. The research... view more... (2003-02-03)
Role of protein in immune response may aid HIV research
A family of proteins that serve as the body's first line of defense against bacterial infections may provide a lifeline for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine - Northwest. view more (2006-07-31)
Animal Study Identifies Promising New Target for Brain Tumor Therapy
A drug that targets the body's immune cells may be effective in treating malignant brain tumors, according to a new study led by researchers at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. In animal models, the drug re-engaged the body's cancer-damaged immune system. view more (2007-05-09)
"Combination" Lyme Disease Vaccine Proteins Patented
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators at Stony Brook University have received U.S. Patent Number 7,179,448 for developing chimeric, or "combination," proteins that may advance the development of vaccines and diagnostic tests for Lyme disease. view more (2007-04-10)
White blood cells are picky about sugar
Biology textbooks are blunt-neutrophils are mindless killers. These white blood cells patrol the body and guard against infection by bacteria and fungi, identifying and destroying any invaders that cross their path. view more (2007-07-12)
What is the function of lymph nodes?
If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police stations - the regions in which the immune response is organised. view more (2009-05-26)
New rabies vaccine may require only a single shot... not 6
A person, usually a child, dies of rabies every 20 minutes. However, only one inoculation may be all it takes for rabies vaccination, according to new research published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases by researchers at the Jefferson Vaccine Center. view more (2009-09-21)
New vaccine stimulates colorectal cancer patient's immune systems to fight cancerous cells
British researchers have developed a vaccine that stimulates colorectal cancer patients' immune systems to fight cancerous cells. view more (2006-11-15)
The human immune system may limit future evolution
Scientists from Imperial College London have suggested why the human genome may possess far fewer genes than previously estimated before the human genome project was begun. Research published in the July issue of Trends in Immunology, shows how a more advanced immune system in humans could explain why the human genome may have only a slightly... view more...

Inflammation markers identify fatigue in breast cancer survivors
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have defined conditions associated with disabling fatigue that persists for years in almost a third of breast cancer survivors, according to a study in the May 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research. view more (2006-05-01)
LIAI scientists identify immune system trigger for fighting Lyme disease
Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) today announced an important finding on Lyme disease that could eventually lead to the development of a new vaccine to prevent this tick-borne disorder. view more (2006-08-22)
Colorful spy tactics track live cells supporting cancerous tumors
A new advance in cellular imaging is allowing scientists to better understand the movement of cells in the area around tumors, also known as the tumor microenvironment. view more (2008-09-17)
Minuscule molecules pack a powerful punch
A role for a microRNA in the immune system has been shown by study of one of the world's first microRNA knockout mouse, reported Friday 27 April in Science. view more (2007-04-27)
Equality of the sexes? Not always when it comes to biology
When it comes to immunity, men may not have been dealt an equal hand. The latest study by Dr. Maya Saleh, of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and McGill University, shows that women have a more powerful immune system than men. view more (2009-05-12)
Acute Stress Boosts Flu Shot Response in Women, Small Study Finds
Women who participated in short bouts of physical or mental activity before receiving a flu shot produced more antibodies than other women, according to the first study of this effect in humans. view more (2006-03-03)
Implants mimic infection to rally immune system against tumors
Bioengineers at Harvard University have shown that small plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin can reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors. view more (2009-01-23)
Molecular research suggests shift needed in how some drugs are created
The first close-up look at a pro-inflammatory signaling molecule involved in immune response in mammals suggests that researchers "should rethink what they are doing" in creating drugs based on a fruit-fly model, scientists say. view more (2005-10-05)
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)
University of Pennsylvania Researchers Identify Gatekeeper Involved in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
he road to many an inflammatory disease is guarded by a cytokine messenger protein called interleukin-27, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Chronic inflammation results when the immune system becomes over stimulated and begins attacking healthy tissue in excess. view more (2006-08-22)
