Reactions of tissues to infection by nontoxigenic bacteria may be conveniently divided into
two forms: purulent and granulomatous. Purulent infections, as exemplified by …

Adverse drug reactions account for between 2 to 5% of all hospital admissions and can
prevent the administration of an otherwise effective therapeutic agent. Hypersensitivity or …

Neonatal thymectomy during the critical period, 2-4 d after birth, can induce various organ-
specific autoimmune diseases including oophoritis in A/J mice. The oophoritis thus induced …

Converging data from different disciplines indicate that central nervous system processes
are capable of influencing immune responses. This paper concentrates on recent studies …

It has become increasingly clear that both the type and intensity of the immune response to
antigen are controlled by a complex series of interactions among different types of T …

In solid organ transplantation the recipient immune system recognises foreign alloantigens
expressed by the graft. This results in an immune attack of the transplanted organ leading to …

Retinoic acid (RA), a vitamin A derivative with anti‐tumor activity, was assayed for its effects
on the immune system in mice. High doses of this compound (1000 μg/mouse/day) have …

Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) is a prototypic T lymphocyte-mediated response to
antigenic challenge. In this study, mononuclear cells infiltrating the skin during cutaneous …

The effect of 20 g/100 g diet of lactalbumin (L), casein (C), soy (S) and wheat (W) protein on
the immune responsiveness of C3H/HeN mice has been investigated by measuring the …

The role in immune inflammation of basophils, mast cells, and their contained vasoactive
amines is most generally appreciated in classical immediate hypersensitivity reactions. In …
