Natural history and immunopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) develops in the majority of cases as result of chronic progressive β-cell destruction. This inflammatory damage depends on a selective loss of immune tolerance, that leads to an extensive infiltration of both helper and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in the pancreatic islets. The autoimmune mechanism is proven by the presence of a pool of autoantibodies (Abs) against structural a...
متن کاملNatural history of hepatitis C.
With advances in tools for the diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, it has become easier to evaluate the natural course of hepatitis C. Although HCV infection initially occurs in adult individuals, in most patients with acute hepatitis C (68%) it develops into chronic hepatitis. Once chronic hepatitis is established, the rate of spontaneous cure of the liver disease is very rare (bel...

متن کاملImmunopathogenesis and Immunotherapy for Viral Hepatitis
Neither hepatitis B virus (HBV) nor hepatitis C virus (HCV) is cytopathic, and hepatitis is caused by the host immune response against virus-related peptides expressed on hepatocytes in conjunction with human leukocyte antigens (HLA). In acute self-limiting hepatitis, a broad immune response occurs that is strong enough to eradicate the virus or suppress viral replication (Rehermann, 1996). How...
