Fitting with an immunological explanation, the inflammatory process is caused by T cells, a kind of lymphocyte that plays an important role in the body's defenses.
The underlying immunological explanation is unknown at this time; however, it seems intuitive that if allergen exposure is considered as an input, persistent deliverance of such an input will stress the system and instigate reactive responses.
Our data demonstrate a link between the presence of pro-inflammatory Th17 cells in SF and local PDUS scores, and offer a novel immunological explanation for the observation that rapid joint damage progression occurs in patients with persistent positive PDUS signal.
The immunological explanation of this episode was subsequently formulated through a murine model [ 73].
PP patients tend to have lower inflammatory lesional activity, for which no immunological or genetic explanation has been identified yet.
The diagnosis of progressive muscular atrophy is one of exclusion; patients had electrophysiological evidence of lower motor neuron degeneration in the absence of upper motor neuron signs, a progressive course and no structural, immunological or known genetic explanation for their clinical presentation.
Moreover, the study combines clinical follow‐up, virological characterization of CRF19_cpx and immunological approaches to provide potential explanations to the faster progression.
Dr Miller and his colleagues think they have the explanation for this immunological apathy.In the past, studies relating mental depression to depression of the immune system have usually been performed on patients stuck in hospital.
One possible explanation is that immunological responses occur to a specific subset of bacterial antigens during health, but that infected patients are exposed to a wider range of bacterial antigens.
Individual differences in immunological defence may be one explanation [ 12].
One possible explanation is that immunological effects differ between helminth species.
