Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Signaling Pathway and its Relation to Cancer and ImmunologyBruno R.B. Pires, Andre L. Mencalha, Gerson M. Ferreira et al.Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that is present in all metazoans from early embryonic development throughout adult life. It plays a major roles in the different stress responses that are triggered by low Oxygen (O2) levels and its expression is associated with cell survival. HIF-1 is a heterodimer protein that comprises the subunits HIF-1α and HIF-1β. The … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2015 · 8,485 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDUAL ROLES OF CANCER CELL-EXPRESSED IMMUNOGLOBULINS IN CANCER IMMUNOLOGYGregory Lee, Cheng-Yuan Huang, Suefay Liu et al.While the expression of immunoglobulins and T cell receptors on cancer cells has been well-established for decades, the potential roles and mechanisms of action of these cancerous antigen receptors have not been fully elucidated. A monoclonal antibody designated as RP215, which reacts specifically with the carbohydrate-associated epitope located on the heavy chain region of cancerous immunoglobulins and T cell receptors, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Oct 2014 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECTS OF PROBIOTIC BACTERIA ON PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS (PBMCS) OF ALLERGIC PATIENTSSomaya M. El Sheikh, Mona A.M. Shalaby, Raghda A. Hafez et al.Allergic diseases represent major health burden. An allergic reaction is characterized by a disrupted T- helper 1⁄T-helper 2 balance toward a preferential allergen specifically induced TH2 cytokine profile, causing allergic inflammation Probiotic bacteria have various benificial effects in many pathologic situation. Studies have shown that the bacteria present in the intestinal micro flora play a role in the TH1/TH2 balance … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractGLUTATHIONE: A POSSIBLE LINK TO AUTOPHAGY IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUSDilip Shah, Swapan K. NathIncreased free radical formation and altered redox state are of fundamental importance in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including Systemic Lupus Erythematos (SLE). Free radicals are mainly derived from oxygen (Reactive Oxygen Species/ROS) and nitrogen (Reactive Nitrogen Species/RNS) at mitochondria, cellular membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane as physiological responses to a variety of internal and external stress (Shah et … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 12,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMMUNOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN CANCER: A LINK BETWEEN INFLAMMATION AND IMMUNITYVanessa Jacob Victorino, Isabela Casagrande Jeremias, Anne Karine Martins AssunçãoCancer is a worldwide issue and one of the most relevant death causes in child and adults. There are several causes that can lead to cancer development. It is well known that inflammation is one known hallmark of cancer and it favors tumor cells growth. Several alterations in immunological and inflammatory processes are caused in response to tumor presence and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2014 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Gc-Macrophage Activating Factor in Human Neurons; Implications for Treatment of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeRodney Smith, Lynda Thyer, Emma Ward et al.Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease of multifactorial aetiology characterized by immune system dysfunction, widespread inflammation, multisystemic neuropathology and persistent pain. Given the central role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of the syndrome, we studied the effects of a potent modulator of the immune system in in vitro and in vivo models that could help … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 10,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND THEIR IMPLICATION FOR BIOMEDICAL SCIENCESMaria Csobonyeiova, Stefan Polak, Lubos DanisovicThe groundbreaking discovery, that somatic mammalian cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through the exogenous expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-myc, has yielded a new cell type for potential application in regenerative medicine, the induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Since the first demonstration of creating iPSCs in 2006 great efforts have been made … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2013 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Response in Bovine Lymph Nodes Stimulated with Subunits VaccinesGabriel Andres Tafur Gomez, Marlene Isabel Vargas, Joaquin Hernan Patarroyo Salcedo et al.The vaccination process belongs to the public health intervention methodologies that help prevent infections. Vaccinations performed successfully in the history of medicine reported the significance of this procedure to increase the quality of life, prevent zoonoses and improve animal production. Vaccine emergence remained without exact rules for a long time, maintaining a close relationship with pathogens. However, subunit vaccines, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune-Based Therapies for Spinal Cord InjuryBasem I. Awad, Davina V. Gutierrez, Michael P. SteinmetzTraumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in both focal and diffuse spinal cord pathologies that are exacerbated by an inflammatory response after the initial injury. Resident and infiltrating immune cells contribute significantly to the growth-refractory environment near the lesion and can intensify damage to spared tissue, resulting in impaired spontaneous functional recovery. Numerous studies have demonstrated that several immunomodulatory therapies … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2013 · 6,884 accessesView PDFCite
