MUCOSAL IMMUNITY [3 records]

Record 1 2014-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Based on the experience with many dietary antigens, it is... possible to manipulate the mucosal immune system to induce systemic tolerance against environmental, dietary, and possibly other autoantigens associated with allergic and autoimmune disorders. Mucosal immunity offers new strategies to induce protective immune responses against a variety of infectious agents. Such immunization may also provide new prophylactic or therapeutic avenues in the control of autoimmune diseases in humans.

CONT

L'influence du surentraînement sur la fonction immunitaire n'a pas encore trouvé de marqueur clinique sensible et spécifique. Seule l'évaluation de l'immunité muqueuse, par le suivi des concentrations salivaires en IgA [immunoglobuline A], pourrait s'avérer intéressante et constituer peut-être un marqueur de la tolérance de l'entraînement.

Moreover, the mucosal vaccine produced three distinct types of immunity-mucosal, cellular and systemic-which enabled a rapid immune response that could kill virus-infected cells and prevent future infections. Traditional injected vaccines do not elicit mucosal or cellular immunity.

CONT

Furthermore, oral administration of mucosal vaccine against intestinal pathogens can trigger... a mucosal immune response...

Notre but était d'induire ainsi l'immunité au niveau des muqueuses qui sont les sites d'entrée dans l'organisme de la plupart des agents pathogènes (comme l'HPV-16) [human papilloma virus]. De plus, de tels vaccins mucosaux, plus faciles à administrer et moins coûteux à produire que les vaccins injectables, seraient tout à fait adaptés à des campagnes massives de vaccination dans les pays en voie de développement.

DEF

Malignant form [of leprosy] that occurs in persons with little or no resistance(cell-mediated immunity) against leprous infection. It is characterized : 1) clinically, by early skin lesions, mucosal changes and late neural and systemic involvement; 2) bacteriologically, by abundant bacilli in the lesions; 3) histologically, by characteristic, granulomatous infiltrate composed of "lepra cells" containing globi of bacilli and Virchow cells; 4) immunologically, by a negative lepromin test indicating absence of cell-mediated immunity.

[Lèpre] qui traduit une incapacité totale de réponse immunitaire vis-à-vis de M. leprae, avec multiplication et dissémination du bacille dans l'organisme. Les lésions cutanées et neurologiques sont très nombreuses, la charge bacillaire très importante, l'histologie révèle un granulome de «cellules de Virchow» pauvre en lymphocytes et la réaction de Mitsuda est négative.
