A clinical trial involving the modified T cells is expected to be announced within the next few months. In a recent issue of Cancer Research, Daniel [...] (Source: Libby's H*O*P*E*) Libby's H*O*P*E* blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5140183 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 22:50:23 +0100 5140183 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3569654&cid=t_449914_139_f&fid=38879&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.rawvoice.com%2Fpmn_twiv%2Fwww.twiv.tv%2FTWiV082.mp3 Hosts: Vincent Racaniello and Rich Condit On episode #82 of the podcast This Week in Virology (TWiV), Vincent and Rich talk about how thymic selection of T cells might lead to better control of HIV-1 infection, and a mouse model for severe antibody-induced dengue virus disease.

The existing treatment guidelines call for meds to be considered when CD4+ T-cell counts fall below 350 cells per cubic millimeter. HIV, you may recall, ravages CD4+ T-cells, which fight off infection, but as virus levels increase, a decrease in CD4+ T-cells occurs. The HAART regimen, which combines at least three HIV meds, is used to reduce virus levels. However, the ideal time to start treatment therapy has been unclear because of insufficient clinical trial data. And so researchers worked with the International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA), which is a global network...

The signals the researchers detected originated in dendritic cells – the sentinels of the immune system that do the initial detection of microscopic invaders – and were received by nearby T-cells, which play [...] (Source: Biosingularity) Biosingularity blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2382514 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:14:38 +0100 2382514 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1239384&cid=t_449914_129_f&fid=36038&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.healthtalk.com%2Fmultiple-sclerosis%2Flife-with-ms%2Fnew-study-looks-at-b-cell-activity-for-ms%2F For the longest time, it seems that the immune cells we’ve been hearing about have been the T-Cells, known also as Thymus Lymphocytes (because the Thymus seems to be principally involved in their development). It has been long thought that these T-Cells are the primary culprit in demyelinization, being that T-Cells are in charge of “cell-mediated” immune response. Well, “we” might have thought that, but an ever larger group of researchers have been talking about the B-Cells. These cells are primary to humoral immune response, which has to do with secreted antibodies, as opposed to doing the actual immune work themselves. A study released last week by researchers at UCSF finds that these B-Cells may also have a hand in the destruction of our nervous system. Not the only hand, but ...

These samples are being used to quantify the number of autoreactive T-cells and develop the adequate dosage for Phase 1 of human trials to cure Type 1 diabetes. The research has been presented and the NIH confirmed it. By reeducating the confused T-cells and instructing them not to attack healthy islets, an apparent cure of established type 1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice is possible. Now, Dr. Faustman is collecting human samples to bestow the same cure for diabetes in humans. If you wish to be a part of this revolutionary event for curing Type 1 diabetes, please contact the Clinical Coordinator or call Dr. Faustman's la...

The disease is thought to be linked to diets rich in preserved foods, like salted fish. Scientists will soon test an experimental treatment for nose and throat cancer that will train the patient's own white blood cells to fight the disease. Some classes of T-cells have memory. Once these cells are taken from the patient and are exposed to invaders that they successfully fought off, they should launch the same response when they are re-introduced back into the patients own body. One of the researchers stated "We expect the T-cells to initiate a very aggressive inflammatory reaction and during the process, not only will...

I wonder if they are connected to the autism and diabetes epidemics, even attention-deficit disorders. I do vaccinate my children, just begrudgingly. Yet if there ever was a vaccination against type 1 diabetes, I would be first in line. Researchers in France and Germany have demonstrated you can treat a type 1 diabetic mouse with a vaccination. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system's T cells cannot distinguish between "non-self" and "self", attacking cells of the pancreas that produce insulin. Previously, Drs. Falk and Rotzschke of the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), blocked the misdirected immune system by vaccinating mice with modified structures of the same organ targeted by the de...
