Studying these subtle differences may help to develop strategies to modulate the process of immune development and programming.
These findings link immune homeostasis to key determinants of anti-tumoral immunity and escape, revealing co-opting of tissue-specific immune development in the tumor microenvironment.
The overall goal of the URECA study is to develop a better understanding of how specific urban exposures affect immune development to promote wheezing illnesses and asthma.
Antibiotics may also interfere with immune development.

The Immune Development in Pediatric Transplantation (IMPACT) study was conducted to evaluate relationships among alloimmunity, protective immunity, immune development, physical parameters, and clinical outcome in children undergoing kidney transplantation.
Overall, OmniRats exhibit normal immune development, gene usage, and physiological levels of serum antibody and respond to immunogenic stimuli equally as wild-type rats27, 28.
Research has suggested that exposure to microbes found in the natural environment is important for health, including for the healthy immune development of infants.
We therefore propose that prenatal stress challenge - associated with a decrease in maternal progesterone - impairs fetal immune development (immune ontogeny).
The interferon regulatory factor (IRF) superfamily of transcription factors consists of nine members with roles in transcriptional regulation of interferon (IFN -inducible genes, as well as IFN -inducibleecogenesd roles in immune development asd function.
