Inevitably then, helminths have made an enormous imprint on the design and function of the mammalian immune system, not least in the evolution of the Type 2 response.
Cytotoxic treatment regimens elicit several changes in immune-related parameters including the composition, phenotype, and function of immune cells.
Zinc is required for proper function of the immune system and for growth of human tissues.
Population studies designed to determine the links between genotype and phenotype have uncovered numerous genetic variations that influence function of the immune system.
New knowledge about the functioning of the immune system and host pathogen interactions has stimulated the rational design of vaccines.
First, they incorporate mechanisms designed to produce very high frequencies of mutation, and second, none of the genes involved in the functioning of the immune system are germ-line.
2. Create a chart of the functions of the immune system, indicating how different organs, glands, and body systems are involved in the fighting of disease.
Diverse chemicals can impair functioning of the immune system.
This is a function of the adaptive immune system.
Therefore, detailed analysis of immune cell interaction with stem cells is important, and should provide the basis for designing novel strategies to increase the viability and function of stem cells in different tissue engineering applications.
Anti-H.I.V. drugs suppress replication of the virus, which should give the functioning parts of the immune system a chance to eliminate remaining virus.
