IMMUNOCOMPETENT [10 records]

Record 1 2013-04-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

The incidence of lymphomas is unusually high in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected patients. Because cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTL) represent a major mechanism of the antitumoral immune response in immunocompetent individuals, we asked wheter intratumoral activation of CTL was impaired in acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) lymphomas.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Il tenta d'infecter par des bactéries des personnes souffrant de cancer et mit au point un vaccin, composé de bactéries tuées, capable d'induire une réaction immunitaire antitumorale. Ces traitements immunothérapeutiques (ils luttent contre la maladie en utilisant les défenses de l'organisme) ont été efficaces chez certains individus, mais l'incohérence des résultats a restreint leur utilisation.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
  • Immunology
DEF

Any of several related cells of the immune system, which variously retain memory of foreign proteins that have been encountered, communicate this information to other cells, synthesize antibodies against these proteins, or actively destroy infected, invading, or damaged cells.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cytologie
  • Immunologie
DEF

Cellule apte à participer aux réactions immunitaires, i.e. capable de répondre à un stimulus antigénique par une production d'anticorps.

Record 3 2012-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

Exhibiting immunocompetence: the ability to produce a normal immune response following exposure to an antigen.

CONT

In an immunocompetent individual, the immune response is initiated when introduced to an external agent that possesses an immunogenic structural epitope. The appropriate response depends upon the recognition by surface receptors of B and T lymphocytes of the foreignness of the introduced agent.

Key term(s)

Record 4 2010-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

Although immunocompetent passenger cells, especially those of the macrophage or dendritic series, are important in initiating rejection, their elimination does not prevent ultimate islet cell destruction.

CONT

The reactivity of a monoclonal antibody against cells of the monocyte-macrophage series in sections of normal and inflamed human tissues.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cytologie

Record 6 2003-06-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

The process by which immunocompetent cells respond to specific antigen and undergo functional changes, including the combination of the antigen with a cell-surface receptor and activation of cellular function.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Selon la conception actuelle, le récepteur T reconnaît l'antigène au niveau de la membrane des cellules présentatrices de l'antigène en association avec les molécules HLA de classe II(DR ou DQ, ceci n'étant pas encore démontré pour DP). Les molécules CD3 et les molécules CD4 interviennent dans ces phénomènes complexes.

Record 9 1993-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

A clone of immunocompetent cells reactive to self antigens which, according to the clonal selection theory of immunity, should be eliminated in fetal life. It was suggested that autoimmune disease is caused by such forbidden clones arising by somatic mutation in adult life.
