21. Regulatory immune responses in humans naturally primed to Plasmodium falciparum or vaccinated with tetanum toxoid or purified protein derivative
Abstract : It is well established that the balance between functionally distinct regulatory CD4+ T cells plays a major role in the development of immunity and/or pathogenesis to many different infections. In spite of the importance of Th lineage commitment in disease, the critical questions how the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells is regulated is largely unresolved. READ MORE

22. The role of B cells and Th2 cytokines in physiological and pathological inflammation
Abstract : The CD4+ T cells have an important role in inflammation. Based on the local cytokine milieu, these cells can differentiate into either a Th1 population promoting cellular immunity or Th2 population involved in humoral immunity. 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. Cytokines and their soluble receptors in nasal fluids from school children with allergic rhinitis
Abstract : Allergic inflammation is associated with a shift in the balance between cytokines produced by two T helper subsets (Th1 and Th2) towards a preponderance of Th2 cells. Interleukin (IL)-4 is produced by Th2 cells and interferon-g (IFN-g) by Th1 cells. The ratio IL-4/IFN-g is often used as a marker of the balance between the cytokines. READ MORE

25. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection
Abstract : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. READ MORE
