By D'SaptianaFor some people who want to stay healthy without getting tired of doing hard exercises or spending a lot of money on medicine, laughing may be the alternative activity they have to choose.Laughing is almost the same as aerobics exercise, which benefit especially the upper part of the body. It is a work out for diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, shoulders, back muscles and even
Six people have died after being injected with a human antibody in eastern China.
They died shortly after being given immune globulin, an antibody extracted from blood plasma that is used protect against hepatitis A.
An initial inspection of samples of the antibody confirmed there were some abnormalities, and the company that sold the drugs was ordered to stop selling them. It is as yet unknown
FOXP3 is a master regulator of immune homeostasis expressed specifically in CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells controlling their growth, development and function. FOXP3 significance in the normal development of Tregs is better elucidated with the fact that mutated FOXP3 results in a rare and fatal early onset autoimmune disorder in humans called XLAAD/IPEX (human immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopath

Yesterday was feeling not so fine, but this morning when i wake up it feels better abit. So i went on with my appointment in the morning. After the meeting, when i walk out of my client aircond office, gosh i felt dizzy and a bit of headache too.
I think the panadol that i take [...]
By: Stephen Jones Toll-like receptor (TLR) family is a phylogenetically conserved mediator of innate immunity that is essential for microbial recognition. TLRs are evolutionarily conserved and their congeners have been found in insects, plants, and mammals. Drosophila Toll (dToll) was the first member of the TLR family to be identified, and was initially characterized as a developmental protein governing the formation of the dorsal-ventral axis in Drosophila. Mammalian TLRs represent a growing family of transmembrane proteins characterized by multiple copies of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) in the extracellular domain and a cytoplasmic Toll/IL-1R (TIR) motif and therefore, TLRs are thought to belong to the IL-1R superfamily. Recently, TLRs were observed to influence the development of adaptive immune responses, presumably by activating antigen-presenting cells. To sense innumerable and various pathogenic threats, TLRs have evolved to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP

The mouth may produce the specific diagnostic blood antibodies and manifest the characteristic microscopic changes of celiac disease according to a study published by researchers from Palermo, Italy. Both endomysial antibody (EMA) and tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTG) were detectable in more than half of twenty eight adults and children with newly diagnosed celiac disease who agreed to participate in the study. The presence of and degree of lymphocyte infiltration in the mouth correlated well with the detection of antibodies from swab of the mouth. Further research into the feasibility of diagnosing celiac disease from sampling of the mouth without requiring a small intestine biopsy is indicated. Combined with genetic testing for presence of HLA DQ2 and/or DQ8, currently obtainable from a mouth swab, such testing could be highly accurate and non-invasive. It must be remembered that using EMA and TTG and presence of either DQ2 and/or DQ8 will select out those with celiac disease
FOXP3 is a master regulator of immune homeostasis expressed specifically in CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells controlling their growth, development and function. FOXP3 significance in the normal development of Tregs is better elucidated with the fact that mutated FOXP3 results in a rare and fatal early onset autoimmune disorder in humans called XLAAD/IPEX (human immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome), a condition phenotypically similar to Scurfy in mice. FOXP3 is primarily an oligomeric, transcriptional repressor protein that belongs to the P subfamily of forkhead (FKH)-winged helix family of transcriptional factors. Members of this subfamily are forkhead (FKH) box proteins characterized by the presence of a highly conserved C-terminal winged-helix/FKH DNA binding domain (DBD) and centrally-located C2H2 zinc finger domain and leucine zipper domain. Apart from these, an additional N-terminal proline rich region is present in FOXP3, whose function is yet to
By Liam Davenport07 September 2007Clin Cancer Res 2007; 13: 5211-5218MedWire News: The anti-tumor effects of radiation therapy (RT) could be enhanced using the antiphosphatidylserine antibody 2aG4 to target phosphatidylserine on the luminal surface of tumor blood vessels, thereby making the vessels more vulnerable to cell-mediated cytotoxicity, indicate preliminary study results in mice.The researchers conducted the study to find out whether RT could increase the exposure of phosphatidylserine on tumor vasculature and so enhance the effects of 2aG4.Philip Thorpe, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, USA, and colleagues studied the effects of RT plus 2aG4 on mice with radiation-resistant A549 human lung tumors. One group of mice was treated with RT plus 2aG4, while another received 2aG4 alone. A third group of untreated mice acted as controls.Immunofluorescence staining was used to determine radiation-induced phosphatidylserine exposure on endothelial cell
Antibodies for tissue transglutaminase found in intestine of blood test negative celiac disease are also found in intestine and brain in people with brain disease due to gluten. Gluten ataxia is a brain disorder characterized by balance disturbance not explained by any other cause but due to ingestion of gluten. The disorder responds to a gluten free diet if irreversible brain damage has not already occurred. Calcifications can be seen in the brain on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Deposits of gluten related antibodies have been found in brain tissue obtained on biopsy and autopsy specimens. Mario Hadjivassiliou, M.D. from Sheffield England recommends gluten ataxia be added to a list of gluten related diseases that includes peripheral neuropathy and the skin disorder dermatitis herpetiformis. He has called for a new paradigm to be accepted where celiac disease is not considered primarily as an intestinal disease. Dr. Hadjivassiliou and colleagues recently published a report of nine
Scientists at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston have discovered a new antibody that might help fight mutated forms of a protein related to lung cancer. In the study, which appears in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers reported that a mouse antibody that binds to the protein ...
{mosgoogle right}A team of Japanese researchers has developed an antibody that can prevent blood clots -- a cause of strokes and heart attacks -- with minimal internal bleeding, it has been learned.The antibody was developed by Prof. Hiroshi Takayama and other researchers at the University of Shiga Prefecture. If put to clinical use, there is a possibility it could lead to the development of an ideal medicine to prevent blood clots, with few side effects.Blood clots occu [...]
