Behçet's disease (BD), also known as the Silk Road disease, is a multisystemic and rare inflammatory disorder primarily prevalent in populations along the Mediterranean Sea. Today, BD is defined as a crossroad between autoimmune and auto-inflammatory syndromes. Variety of syndromes including mucocutaneous manifestations such as oral and genital ulcers, papulopustular lesions and erythema nodosu...

Among the countless examples of interspecific interactions in biology, surely non-could be more interesting than which established between host animals and their specific parasites. The members of the genus Leishmania are peculiar obligate intracellular protozoans in that they proliferate in the enzyme rich phagolysosomes, an organelle which is essential component of all defence reactions of an...

With this issue, Cancer Immunology Research marks its first year of publication. At the launch during the 2013 AACR Annual Meeting, the journal aspired to serve both as an accessible, general resource of immunology for the greater cancer research community and as a forum for presenting high-impact investigation that advances knowledge in cancer immunology. Toward these goals, the journal has es...

cytomegalovirus (cmv) and rubella are considered as dangerous viral infections to the fetus. the findings of this research can clear the possible progress made thus far toward prevention in this part of the country. the data of all referees to genetic center of shahid beheshti hospital in hamadan, including the rubella and cmv tests were recorded in questionnaires and analyzed by logistic regre...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of curcuma zedoaria and zingiber zerumbet on non-specific immune responses of grouper (epinephelus coioides). fish were fed an experimental diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 g/kg of c. zedoaria and z. zerumbet mixed diets twice daily for two weeks. non-specific immune parameters such as respiratory burst activity, reactive oxygen species, phago...

This Special Focus on Transplantation Immunology issue of Chimerism features papers focusing on the role of chimerism in transplantation immunology. The field of immunologic tolerance, which owes its origins to an experiment of nature resulting in hematopoetic mixed chimerism, is the subject of our featured Forum article—a debate between Jeff Mold and Colin Anderson on the implications for tole...

The ability to distinguish self from nonself is crucial for proper immune system function, and disruption of self-tolerance can lead to the development of autoimmune disease. This Immunology Select highlights recent studies that uncover new mechanisms for inducing self-tolerance and provides insights into how self-tolerance breaks down in disease. To circumvent the inevitable problem that some ...
