21. The role of interferons in the resistance to infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae
Abstract : Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that infects the respiratory tract in human. IFN-gamma is an essential cytokine for the immune response triggered to limit infection with C. pneumoniae. C. READ MORE

22. In vitro studies on human first trimester forebrain cells : differentiation and interactions with immunoregulating molecules
Abstract : This thesis has focused on understanding, at the molecular level, growth regulation and differentiation of human first trimester forebrain cells, and the immune signals mediating these processes. Primary cultures were established from human forebrain tissue derived from elective first trimester abortions. READ MORE

23. Potential role of anti-cytokine autoantibodies in the regulation of cytokine responses in infections and autoimmune diseases
Abstract : Anti-cytokine autoantibodies are serum proteins that bind cytokines and specifically interfere with measurements and biological activities of the corresponding cytokines. Plasma, sera, and CSF were obtained from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), aseptic meningitis (AM), stroke (ST), and polyneuropathy, Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS). READ MORE

24. Cytokine-modulated dendritic cell immunotherapy in autoimmune diseases
Abstract : Autoimmunity is the result of failure of self-tolerance processes. When the immune system fails to differentiate self from foreign, the effector mechanisms are directed towards the individual s own tissues, and pathological autoimmune disease results. READ MORE

25. Modulation of pain by immune factors : a study on interferon-g and its receptor in nociceptive transmission
Abstract : Immune cytokines have been implicated as important neuromodulators, contributing to neuronal plasticity both in the adult and developing nervous system. In addition, they have been assigned a potential role in the generation of pathological pain, which may occur as a severe symptom following disease states in the nervous system. READ MORE
