Epigenetics: Monoallelic Expression in the Immune System
Epigenetic modifications to DNA and chromatin programme important genome functions including gene expression, chromosomal architecture and stability, and the maintenance of developmental states. Recent findings further implicate epigenetic modifications in the control of allelic choice in the immune system.
متن کاملThe innate immune response to adjuvants dictates the adaptive immune response to autoantigens.
To elucidate the role of innate immunity in susceptibility to the animal model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we induced EAE by immunization with spinal cord homogenate (SCH) plus complete Freund adjuvant or carbonyl iron in 3 inbred rat strains. Lewis are considered "susceptible," PVG/c-Rt7a (PVG) as "semisusceptible," and Brown Norway (BN) as "resistan...
متن کاملThe Role of Humoral and Cell-Mediated Adaptive Immune Response
Glomerulonephritis is a major cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide and presents with various histological and clinical manifestations in terms of severity and duration, resulting in diverse clinical outcomes. Immune-mediated injury of the resident glomerular cells plays a critical role in many forms of glomerular injury and mounting evidence indicates that both humoral and cell-mediated me...
متن کاملInformation -sharing, adaptive epigenetics and human longevity
Emerging empirical and theoretical thinking about human aging places considerable value upon the role of the environment as a major factor which can promote prolonged healthy longevity. Our contemporary, ‘information-rich’ environment is taken to mean not merely the actual physical surroundings of a person but it is also considered in a more abstract sense, to denote cultural, societal and tech...
