Adjuvants are compounds incorporated into vaccines to enhance immunogenicity and the
development of these molecules has become an expanding field of research in the last …

Vaccinations have been used as an essential tool in the fight against infectious diseases,
and succeeded in improving public health. However, adverse effects, including autoimmune …

Vaccines hold promise both for the prevention of infections and as potential immunologic
therapy for patients with autoimmune disease (AD). These patients are at high risk for both …

Vaccination as an important tool in the fight against infections has been suggested as a
possible trigger of autoimmunity over the last decades. To confirm or refute this assumption …

The occurrence and significance of autoimmune manifestations after administration of
vaccines remain controversial. Evidence for immunization triggered autoimmunity come from …

We have investigated two models of virally-induced autoimmune myocarditis in mice using
widely different infectious agents. Infection of susceptible BALB/c mice with either …

Newly described diseases having possible infectious etiology-such as the anti-phospholipid
syndrome (APS)-have joined the classical autoimmune conditions. Characterized originally …

Most autoimmune diseases have an unknown etiology, but all involve cytokines cascade in
their development. At the present time, several cytokines have been identified as major …

Autoimmunity can be triggered by many environmental factors, among which infectious
agents are pivotal. Here, we summarize current knowledge of the relationship between …

There have been enormous strides in our understanding of autoimmunity. These strides
have come under the umbrellas of epidemiology, immunological phenotype and function …
