    Citation: Medical Immunology 2006 5:1
  2. It has been more than 100 years since the realization that microbes are capable of causing disease. In that time, we have learned a great deal as to how each organism has adapted to the immune system so as to ...

    Citation: Medical Immunology 2005 4:1
  6. Conventional vaccines afford protection against infectious diseases by expanding existing pathogen-specific peripheral lymphocytes, both CD8 cytotoxic effector (CTL) and CD4 helper T cells. The latter induce B...

    Authors: Masha Fridkis-Hareli and Ellis L Reinherz
    Citation: Medical Immunology 2004 3:2
  7. Members of the NF-kB transcription factor family are differentially expressed in the B cell lineage. Disruption of individual or two NF-kB subunits exhibits distinct defects in B lymphocyte development, activa...

    Citation: Medical Immunology 2004 3:1
  8. While the ability of bacteriophages to kill bacteria is well known and has been used in some centers to combat antibiotics – resistant infections, our knowledge about phage interactions with mammalian cells is...

    Authors: Andrzej Gorski, Krystyna Dabrowska, Kinga Switala-Jeleń, Maria Nowaczyk, Beata Weber-Dabrowska, Janusz Boratynski, Joanna Wietrzyk and Adam Opolski
    Citation: Medical Immunology 2003 2:2
  9. The development of a vaccine that can prevent infection by the Human immunodeficiency virus or prevent the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome has remained elusive despite 20 years of scientific effort. This "C...
