St. Jude finds molecule that could improve cancer vaccines and therapy for other diseases
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a new signaling molecule that prevents immune responses from running amok and damaging the body. view more (2007-11-26)
Immune system pathway identified to fight allergens, asthma
For the first time, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have identified genetic components of dendritic cells that are key to asthma and allergy-related immune response malfunction. view more (2008-05-08)
How HIV cripples immune cells
In order to be able to ward off disease pathogens, immune cells must be mobile and be able to establish contact with each other. The working group around Professor Dr. Oliver Fackler in the Virology Department of the Hygiene Institute of the Heidelberg University Hospital has discovered a mechanism in an animal model revealing how HIV, the AIDS... view more...

Lymphocyte count found to be a predictor of survival for young patients with leukemia
One simple blood test could predict relapse or survival for children and young adults with acute leukemias. view more (2007-05-08)
Mechanisms Involved with Tumor Relapse Identified
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University's Massey Cancer Center studying the interaction between the immune system and cancer cells have identified interferon gamma as one of the signaling proteins involved with tumor relapse. view more (2007-03-14)
Penn researchers provide insights into how the immune system avoids attacking itself
A finding by University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers about how immune cells "decide" to become active or inactive may have applications in fighting cancerous tumors, autoimmune diseases, and organ transplant rejection. view more (2006-10-13)
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 (2009-05-28)
University of Pittsburgh discovers genetic 'shut down' trigger in healthy immune cells
A fundamental genetic mechanism that shuts down an important gene in healthy immune system cells has been discovered that could one day lead to new therapies against infections, leukemia and other cancers. view more (2007-05-10)
New test can identify patients who may suffer serious late toxicity from radiotherapy
Radiotherapists in Switzerland have developed a fast test that can be used immediately on patients to discover whether they are likely to suffer serious late onset side effects from radiation. view more (2003-09-20)
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)
HIV persists in the gut despite long-term HIV therapy
Even with effective anti-HIV therapies, doctors still have not been able to eradicate the virus from infected individuals who are receiving such treatments, largely because of the persistence of HIV in hideouts known as viral reservoirs. view more (2008-02-14)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Predictive Tests and Early Treatment Delay Progression of Blood Cell Cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers say they have moved closer to their goal of providing personalized care for a common blood cell cancer. view more (2008-11-07)
New approach to immune cell analysis seen as first step to better distinguish health and disease
Investigators have developed a new mathematical approach to analyze molecular data derived from complex mixtures of immune cells. This approach, when combined with well-established techniques, readily identifies changes in small samples of human whole blood, and has the potential to distinguish between health and disease states. view more (2010-03-09)
Scientists unmask key HIV protein, open door for more powerful AIDS drugs
University of Michigan scientists have provided the most detailed picture yet of a key HIV accessory protein that foils the body's normal immune response. view more (2008-09-29)
If You Are Down, You May Be More Likely To Get Infections
The association between depression and immune response is not yet clear. The biological mechanisms by which depression alters the immune system is not yet understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and cellular immune response. A cohort study with a baseline measurement and... view more...

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)
Common Pain Relievers May Dilute Power of Flu Shots
With flu vaccination season in full swing, research from the University of Rochester Medical Center cautions that use of many common pain killers - Advil, Tylenol, aspirin - at the time of injection may blunt the effect of the shot and have a negative effect on the immune system. view more (2009-11-04)
Stop and smell the flowers -- the scent really can soothe stress
Feeling stressed? Then try savoring the scent of lemon, mango, lavender, or other fragrant plants. view more (2009-07-23)
Infant transplant patients resist infections that kill adult AIDS patients
Investigators have discovered that some type of protective system goes into action in some cases when a baby's immune system is deficient. view more (2006-01-31)
