1. Functions and memory features of adaptive- and innate immune cells in physiological and inflammatory settings
Abstract : The immune system is a complex but well-regulated network which cooperates with the microbiota to maintain optimal homeostasis under physiological settings. A number of factors display the capacity to alter the immune system and thus microbiota crosstalk including host genetics, diet, environmental influences and drugs such as antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.

2. Immunological aspects of migration and tolerance
Abstract : The actions of the immune system are highly dependent on locality for development, memory imprinting, surveillance and effector functions. Migratory processes are therefore essential for maintaining immunological integrity of multicellular organisms. READ MORE

3. Naturally acquired immunity to plasmodium falciparum malaria : antibody responses and immunological memory
Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a significant public health concern particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Effective malaria vaccines will contribute significantly towards controlling the disease but their development is hampered by the incomplete understanding of immunity to malaria. READ MORE

4. CD8alpha/alpha+ T-cells and immune memory
Abstract : A better understanding of T-cell memory formation is crucial for rationale vaccine design and the identification of correlates of immune protection. The CD8αα homodimer expressed on CD8+ T-cells is not anymore considered to represent a TCR co-receptor, it may rather represent a mechanism to modulate T-cell avidity and identify a subset of memory T-cells.

5. Immunological studies of adenoids in children : relation to atopy
Abstract : The nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoids is in constant interaction with our environment with every breath we take. This organ, rich in B cells, contains all the immunocompetent cells necessary for an interaction with T cells, exerted through secretion of cytokines and resulting in the production of immunoglobulins and the formation of memory cells.
