چکیده
The experiments leading to the discovery of MHC-restricted T-cell killing of virus-infected cells are described. The implications of MHC- and HLA-restricted T-cell killing for the development of new vaccines and for the understanding of autoimmune disease are discussed.

Apoptosis as a Potential Target in Therapeutic and Vaccine Interventions against Parasitic Diseases
Apoptosis is a physiological cell death that occurs under normal conditions in major biological processes, including the removal of old, damaged, extra, or harmful cells. It plays an important role in natural evolution, tissue homeostasis, removal of cells damaged or infected by viruses, and removal of immune cells activated against self-antigens. The purpose of this review was to examine the r...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSES TO AMASTIGOTE SOLUBLE Leishmania major ANTIGENS IN RECOV ERED CASES OF CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS
This study was performed in order to define the cellular immune response of 12 recovered cutaneous leishmaniasis subjects to different soluble antigens of the amastigote form of Leishmania major. A soluble leishmanial antigen preparation (SLA) derived from highly-purified amastigotes from infected nude mice was fractionated by Mono Q column using Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) s...
متن کاملThe role of surface charge of ISCOMATRIX nanoparticles on the type of immune response generated against Leishmaniasis in BALB/c mice
Objective(s): ISCOMATRIX vaccines have now been shown to induce strong antigen-specific cellular or humoral immune responses to a broad range of antigens of viral, bacterial, parasite or tumor. In the present study, we investigated the role of ISCOMATRIX charge in induction of a Th1 type of immune response and protection against Leishmania major infection in BALB/c mice. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملFrequency of Major Histocompatibility Antigens Class I in Mazandaran Province
Background and purpose: Major histocompatibility antigens are the most polymorphic components of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a population in Mazandaran province, Iran. Materials and methods: In a cross sectional study, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 550 people in Immunogenetics Research Center af...
متن کاملEffect of Immune Responses Against Hydatid Cyst Antigens on Growth of Melanoma Tumor
Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...
