  • Recent studies have shown that MUNC 13-4 polymorphisms are associated with macrophage activation syndrome in some patients with SJIA. (medscape.com)
  • The immune system consists of a large number of molecules and processes, and immunodeficiencies can therefore be caused by genetic alterations at many loci. (lu.se)
  • Among other activities, we focus on the role of immune responses against modified self-antigens and on developing therapies targeting these immune processes. (lu.se)
  • The most enriched proteins released were the nucleosomal histones, which have previously been identified as damage-associated molecular pattern proteins (DAMPs) that can initiate sterile inflammatory responses. (nature.com)
  • Here we comprehensively identify the MTB genes required for survival by screening for transposon mutants that fail to grow within primary macrophages. (harvard.edu)
  • Remarkably, the majority of MTB genes found by this analysis to be required for survival are constitutively expressed rather than regulated by macrophages, revealing the host-adapted lifestyle of an evolutionarily selected intracellular pathogen. (harvard.edu)
  • The physiological role of Mregs is to dampen the immune response and immunopathology. (wikipedia.org)
  • Macrophages also play an important role in viral clearance. (medscape.com)
  • One clinical trial has studied a type of engineered macrophage called CAR-M and found that it may be an effective form of immunotherapy for solid tumors. (webmd.com)
  • Immune-instructive materials as new tools for immunotherapy. (findaphd.com)
  • The third plenary session of the AACR Annual Meeting 2019 , titled "Manipulating the Immune System in Cancer Therapy," focused on recent advances in the field of immunotherapy. (aacr.org)
  • While mastering the key specifications of our macrophage-based models and their subtleties, our scientific and experimental expertise governs the relevance of our macrophage assays in evaluating the efficacy of immunotherapeutics either on the stimulatory M1 capacities or, especially, in relieving the suppressive functions of M2 macrophages.

  • The AIRIG meeting was held to exchange new findings and ideas regarding the profound suppressive effects of alcohol exposure on the immune system. (nih.gov)
  • Macrophage-mediated suppression of immune responses in Toxoplasma-infected mice. (uky.edu)
  • C57BL/6 (B6), C57BL/10 (B10), and SJL mice showed markedly suppressed secondary anti-DNP responses when infected. (uky.edu)
  • The infected DBA/2 and C3H/He mice produced moderately suppressed responses. (uky.edu)
  • However, in BALB/c mice, the responses were not affected even by inoculation with 1 × 10 4 organisms. (uky.edu)
