The acquired immune system provides a general pattern recognition and defence system that modifies itself, adapting to improve its capability with experience. This work elaborates upon and refines the definition of a previously proposed hieratical acquired immune system framework. Rather than trying to fit biological observations in providing a tool for theoretical immunology, the framework is ...

A number of works in the field of intrusion detection have been based on Artificial Immune System and Soft Computing. Artificial-Immune-System-based approaches attempt to leverage the adaptability, error tolerance, selfmonitoring and distributed nature of Human Immune Systems. The Soft-Computing-based approaches are instrumental in developing fuzzy-rule-based systems for detecting intrusions. T...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the immune system and lymphocyte function in 41 iranian β-thalassemic patients and 50 controls, ages ranging from 2 to 18 years. the patients consisted of 20 splenectomized and 21 non-splenectomized patients. they were treated with desferal, and had received repeated blood transfusion. laboratory investigations included measurement of total t lymphocytes, a...

skeletal muscle may develop adaptive chaperone and enhancementdefense system through daily exercisestimulation. the present study investigated resistance and exhaustion training alters the expression of chaperoneproteins. these proteins function to maintain homeostasis, facilitate repair from injury and provide protection. exercise-induced production of hsps in skeletal muscle and peripheral le...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of artichoke powder on performance and immune function of japanese quails poisoned with carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). one hundred meat type (1-d-old) quails were assigned randomly to 4 treatment groups (n=25). treatment groups included with the study were: 1) control group (without artichoke supplementation or ccl4 administration, 2) group with...

abstract background: exercise could change the immune system. it is illustrated that abnormal environments are the primary source of physiological stresses which can disarrange the function of immune system. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of high volume exercise (hve) in hypoxia and normoxia conduction on the immune system response in selected inactive men. materials a...
