11. Immunity and immunosuppression in the tumor-host interaction
Abstract : With the advent of new methods in molecular biology and in peptide isolation, a number of tumor-associated antigens and their epitopes have been identified and characterized. However, tumors often grow progressively evolving different mechanisms of immune escape, resulting in resistance to MHC class I-restricted tumor-specific T cells. READ MORE

12. T lymphocytes in Wegener’s granulomatosis
Abstract : Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that affects small and medium size blood vessels. The respiratory tract and lungs are usually compromised with necrotizing granulomatous formations. The aetiology is unknown and untreated the prognosis of generalised WG is very poor. READ MORE

13. SLE : pathogenetic mechanisms in nephritis and sulphasalazine-induced lupus reactions
Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a multifactorial and largely unknown etiology, in which genetic and environmental factors are known to influence disease susceptibility and expression. Nephritis is a common and severe disease manifestation in which immune complexes and complement deposits in the renal tissue are invariably seen. READ MORE

14. 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

15. Tumor recognition by cytotoxic T cells : definition of new tumor antigens and the effect of interleukin-10 on antigen presentation
Abstract : The tumor antigens against which T cell responses have been demonstrated most frequently are not tumor specific but are also expressed on normal tissues. This observation has been interpreted as evidence for breaking of immunological tolerance to normal cellular proteins. READ MORE
