Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDNA Vaccination Associated with Eliminating Inheritance Risks during Embryo Development: A ReviewRia MargianaThe process of immunization using modified DNA is essential whenever scientists desire to trigger an artificial response in the host’s body to improve immunity. The use of DNA vaccines awakens the somatic cells of the host to produce antigens that will assist the body to prepare to fight infections through preventive measures triggered by the vaccines. These biological inventions have … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 26 May 2016 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCell-Based Therapies in the Prevention of Solid Organ Transplant RejectionAdrian E. Morelli, Sherrie J. DivitoProblem statement: Organ transplantation is a life-saving and increasingly common procedure, as it often serves as the only treatment available for end-stage organ disease. Although the constant development of new and more effective immunosuppressive drugs has revolutionized the prevention and treatment of acute graft rejection, these drugs have significant toxicity, greatly increase patient susceptibility to neoplasms and infection and exert … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2012 · 7,416 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRal-Binding Protein is Required for the Maturation and Function of Dendritic CellsJozef Borvak, Mukesh Sahu, Varun Joy et al.Problem statement: Dendritic Cells (DCs) integrate responses of innate and adaptive immune system via transmitting pro-inflammatory and regulatory signals to naïve cells within draining lymph nodes. DCs have high capacity for endocytosis, both Clathrin-Dependent (CDE) and Caveolin-Dependent (CvDE). Approach: We have recently shown that ATP-hydrolysis by the multifunctional transporter protein RLIP76 is the primary determinant of the rate of CDE. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractActin Cytoskeleton and Related Proteins Role During Immune Cells Migration, Polarity and Activation: An OverviewClaudio Vieira da SilvaImmune cells migration, polarity and activation are essential during host immune response. Upon recognition of specific peptides presented by Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) molecules on Antigen Presenting Cells (APC), lymphocytes execute subset-related functions such as killing, help and regulation. These cells travel through the organism in a succession of steps, including entry into tissues, interstitial migration, APC scanning, synapse formation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2013 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
