Previous claims of siRNA therapeutic effects called into question by report in human gene therapy
The many recent reports documenting the therapeutic efficacy of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in animal models of human disease may actually be describing non-specific therapeutic effects related to the ability of siRNA to activate an immune response, according to a paper in the September 2008 issue (Volume 19, Number 9) of Human Gene Therapy, a... view more...

Immune molecule that plays a powerful role in avoiding organ rejection identified
When a mouse's immune system is deciding whether to reject a skin graft, one powerful member of a molecular family designed to provoke such a response can effectively reduce the visibility of the mouse's own cells and help the graft survive, researchers say. view more (2008-06-17)
UCLA scientists identify how key protein keeps chronic infection in check
Why is the immune system able to fight off some viruses but not others, leading to chronic, life-threatening infections like HIV and hepatitis C? view more (2009-05-08)
USC researchers uncover mechanism that allows influenza virus to evade the body's immune response
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a critical molecular mechanism that allows the influenza virus to evade the body's immune response system. view more (2009-05-21)
Faithful mothers have healthier babies
Faculty of 1000 reviewers examine a study from New Zealand on whether prolonged exposure to the father's semen protects new mothers against pre-eclampsia and having an undersized baby view more (2009-11-13)
Exercising our immune system
Elite athletes - often perceived as the epitome of health and fitness - may be more susceptible to common illness and are therefore proving useful in helping scientists understand more about the immune system. view more (2007-12-04)
New Synthetic Molecules Trigger Immune Response to HIV and Prostate Cancer
Researchers at Yale University have developed synthetic molecules capable of enhancing the body's immune response to HIV and HIV-infected cells, as well as to prostate cancer cells. Their findings, published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could lead to novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases. view more (2009-11-06)
DNA that controls the malaria parasite's disguise mechanism
Professor Alan Cowman, Dr Brendan Crabb and their research teams at WEHI have identified how the most lethal malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is able to disguise itself from the human immune system. view more (2006-01-04)
People with less education could be more susceptible to the flu
People who did not earn a high school diploma could be more likely to get H1N1 and the vaccine might be less effective in them compared to those who earned a diploma, new research shows. view more (2009-11-11)
Brain Structure Assists in Immune Response, According to Penn Vet Study
For the first time, a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have imaged in real time the body's immune response to a parasitic infection in the brain. view more (2009-01-29)
The CReSA is working on a new strategy to combat spongiforms
Researchers at the Animal Health Research Centre (CReSA) are developing immunotherapeutical strategies against diseases produced by prion, such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis. view more (2006-11-01)
OHSU Cancer Institute finds that drug stimulated immune system in prostate cancer
In a multi-site study, Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that a drug called Ipilimumab, also known as MDX-010, works to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight prostate cancer. The drug was found to be effective in study participants with a serious type of prostate cancer - one where the tumor... view more... (2008-06-03)
Researchers led by Penn vet uncover the delicate protein balance behind the immune system response
A team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has identified the protein interactions involved in the immune system process that fights infection yet, in certain inflammatory diseases, runs amok and attacks friendly tissue. view more (2007-12-11)
A protein sequence associated with Huntington's disease may become life-saving vaccine component
On June 10, 2008 the scientific journal "Vaccine" published a paper by the Massachusetts based biotech company Cure Lab, Inc., demonstrating that a protein sequence important in neurodegenerative Huntington's disease can be safely used as a new generation of vaccine adjuvants. view more (2008-06-11)
Louse infestation calibrates immune system regulation
Some parasites can exert a moderating effect on the immune system, perhaps reducing the risk of developing immune dysfunctions like asthma, allergies and some forms of arthritis. view more (2009-04-22)
Discovering New Regulators Of The Immune System
London, U.K. and South San Francisco, CA, 15th September 2003. In an attempt to find new regulators of the immune system, a team of researchers at Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have created a successful method for discovering molecules that are involved in signalling pathways. As published this week in the Journal of Biology, the team conducted a... view more... (2003-09-12)
Careless talk costs lives in food allergy
A team of scientists, led by the Institute of Food Research (IFR) in the UK, has discovered an immune system malfunction that is likely to play a profound role in food allergy. Food allergy can be life threatening, but understanding the cause has remained a challenge for science. The international team has found that two types of cells stop... view more... (2004-05-05)
Toward an explanation for Crohn's disease?
Twenty-five per cent of Crohn's disease patients have a mutation in what is called the NOD2 gene, but it is not precisely known how this mutation influences the disease. view more (2009-07-10)
Scientists identify a septic shock susceptibility gene
Septic shock often follows a bacterial infection, and is characterized by the overwhelming release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the body's immune system. view more (2006-11-03)
