  • Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of natural killer cell mediated immune response to a tumor cell. (planteome.org)
  • Small concentrations of recombinant murine tumor necrosis factor (rMuTNF) synergized with recombinant murine γ-interferon (rMuIFN-γ) to inhibit tumor cell growth in peritoneal cell (PC) cultures from tumor-dormant mice. (johnshopkins.edu)
  • Additionally, if a non-live vaccine is administered during the period of altered immunocompetence, it might need to be repeated after immune function has improved. (cdc.gov)
  • Bottom line Vaccination using the VZV vaccine may increase IgG however, not IgE-specific viral replies and concurrently raise the numbers of Compact disc19+ B cells. (sdfca.org)
  • Here we identify two stage-specific enhancers: the proximal enhancer mediates the constitutive CCL5 expression during the steady state, while the distal enhancer located 1.35 Mb from the promoter induces CCL5 expression in activated cells. (nature.com)
  • In this state the immune response is suppressed by the tumor and even induces a wound healing processes stimulating tumor progression. (lu.se)
  • Developmental and environmental signals modulate the activity and sensitivity of the Imd immune response. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Delayed clearance of Sendai virus in mice lacking class I MHC-restricted CD8+ T cells. (cdc.gov)
  • Characteristics of the influenza virus-specific CD8+ T cell response in mice homozygous for disruption of the H-2lAb gene. (cdc.gov)
  • The secondary transplantation of recipient BMMSCs recovered the immune condition and renal functions of MRL/lpr mice. (elsevierpure.com)
  • Androgens only affected B cell development in chimeric mice with androgen-sensitive stromal cells. (jci.org)
  • Accordingly, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analyses revealed elevated viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels in the heart and brain of aged mice but no viral RNA-positive cells, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 does not disseminate systemically in aged animals.

  • Activation, differentiation, and migration of naive virus-specific CD8+ T cells during pulmonary influenza virus infection. (cdc.gov)
  • Frequency, specificity, and sites of expansion of CD8+ T cells during primary pulmonary influenza virus infection. (cdc.gov)
  • However, the HLA-B molecules influencing immune control in adults have less impact on paediatric infection. (ox.ac.uk)
  • It is commonly believed that exposure to cold environmental temperatures depresses immune function and increases the risk for infection. (researchgate.net)
  • This review highlights the significant role of mast cells as the interface that acts as sensor and early responder through interactions with cells in systemic organs and the nervous system . (bvsalud.org)
  • Tissue, even entire organs that are transplanted have normal cell markers, but when they aren't your own, they cause the immune system to attack the tissue - this is why people receiving transplants need to take immunosuppressants. (scienceaid.net)
  • Laboratory studies can be useful for assessing the effects of a disease or drug on the immune system. (cdc.gov)
  • Diagnostic Evaluation to re-immunization Prior, VZV IgG Ab amounts were harmful ( ?0.90 Ab index) and VZV IgM VZV Ab amounts were also harmful (?0.90 Ab index) (Desk?1), indicating either zero prior contact with absence or VZV of a particular immune system response to immunization. (sdfca.org)
  • Mechanistically, the importance and meaning of these observations needs to be addressed in a suitable and easily manipulable in vitro system consisting of human islets and immune cells. (selectbiosciences.com)
  • PLCG2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation (PLAID) is an immune system disorder characterized by an allergic reaction to cold temperatures. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Other immune system problems can also occur. (medlineplus.gov)
  • In many people with PLAID, immune system function is reduced, leading to recurrent infections such as frequent colds, ear infections, or bouts of pneumonia. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The number of immune system cells called natural killer (NK) cells may also be reduced. (medlineplus.gov)
  • standing of the immune system. (cdc.gov)
  • A cell-mediated immune reaction possibly causes this phenomenon. (psu.edu)
  • Natural Killer (NK) cells contribute to HIV control in adults, but HLA-B-mediated T-cell activity has a more substantial impact on disease outcome. (ox.ac.uk)
