How Aging Affects T Lymphocyte-Mediated Immunity
age-dependent decline in immune responses while autoimmune diseases increase in incidence. The authors hypothesize that the same defects that account for the decreased ability to generate protective immune responses also contribute to the increased risk of autoimmunity. The major risk factor for autoimmunity in old age appears to be the reshaping of the peripheral T cell receptor repertoire, wh...
متن کاملPossible Therapeutic Application of Targeting Type II Natural Killer T Cell-Mediated Suppression of Tumor Immunity
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique T cell subset that exhibits characteristics from both the innate immune cells and T cells. There are at least two subsets of NKT cells, type I and type II. These two subsets of NKT cells have opposite functions in antitumor immunity. Type I NKT cells usually enhance and type II NKT cells suppress antitumor immunity. In addition, these two subsets of NKT...
متن کاملEffects of high-dose inhaled fluticasone propionate via spacer on cell-mediated immunity in healthy volunteers.
BACKGROUND Systemic corticosteroids are known to alter cell-mediated immunity (CMI). However, the effects of inhaled steroids on CMI are unclear. We therefore sought to assess CMI following high-dose inhaled steroids in healthy subjects. METHODS Ten healthy nonasthmatic subjects self-administered fluticasone propionate (FP), 440 microg bid, with a spacer device. CMI was assessed by delayed hy...
متن کاملConnecting type 1 and type 2 diabetes through innate immunity.
The escalating epidemic of obesity has driven the prevalence of both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus to historically high levels. Chronic low-grade inflammation, which is present in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics, contributes to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The accumulation of activated innate immune cells in metabolic tissues results in release of inflammatory mediators, in particu...
متن کاملTolerance through Education: How Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells Shape Immunity
Dendritic cells (DCs) are central players in the initiation and control of responses, regulating the balance between tolerance and immunity. Tolerogenic DCs are essential in the maintenance of central and peripheral tolerance by induction of clonal T cell deletion and T cell anergy, inhibition of memory and effector T cell responses, and generation and activation of regulatory T cells. Therefor...
