Extractions: Immunology: "The 'I' in AAAAI" Immunology is a broad and complex topic involving many immunologic diseases. This months topic provides an overview of what immunology is and the role of the immunologist. There is a brief question and answer section that will help answer some of your frequently asked questions concerning immunology below. Defining Immunology Immunology is the study of the complex and sophisticated immune system. The immune system is a network of cells and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by "foreign" invaders or germs. Our body is susceptible to invasion from germs. When the germs do break into the body, it is the immune system's job to keep them out or to seek and destroy them. When the immune system is not working properly, it can cause a variety of diseases, such as allergies, arthritis, cancer or AIDS. Click here for a larger view Clinical immunologists research new tests and treatments involving allergic and immunologic disorders of the immune system. They work with physicians in general practice and in hospital-based specialties to treat diseases using complex and sophisticated clinical techniques. The science of clinical immunology is a fast developing area of the medical profession. The role of the immunologist is increasingly important, both in laboratory work and in patient care.

Extractions: October 22-26, 2003 CIS received applications from North, Central and South America also Europe and the Middle East. A number of excellent applications were submitted making the selection process difficult. Thirty fellows were selected to attend the five-day meeting; twenty (20) from the United States, one (1) from Canada, one (1) from Kuwait and nine (9) from Central and South America. The international make up of the participants provided a unique learning experience. In preparation for the course, the faculty, also international in scope; seven (7) from the United States, three (3) from Europe, and one (1) from Costa Rica, provided each student with guidance on their case presentation and slides. The intensive five-day course covered topics including: SCID/CIS and transplant, WAS/XLT, DiGeorge, unknown defects, Hyper IgM, Hyper IgE, Mycobacterial Infections, XLA, AT and antibody defects. Student case presentations were followed by faculty lectures in each topic. The question and answer sessions that resulted from the presentations were invaluable. The participants did not leave the course empty handed. In addition to knowledge gained from the presentations, participants received a syllabus made up of teaching slides, articles of relevance, lab references and case studies. Attendees were encouraged to share this information with others in their labs.

http://blog.andy.org.mx/movabletype/archives/cat_primary_immune_deficiency.html

Extractions: Its official, Dr. Geha and his team of Immunologists at Children's Hospital Boston found the genetic roots of another immune deficiency. The gene is called TACI and its related to IgA deficiency. Children with TACI have low levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG) or both. Dr. Geha is Andy's doctor. TACI/IgA deficiency affects 1 in 600 people. For reference NEMO affects 1 in 250,000 people. One of the articles I found includes the following words from Dr. Geha, "A test for TACI would allow for diagnosis of more children and their relatives," says Geha, senior author of the study and a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. This discovery is great news! It also means that via PGD families affected by TACI can prevent and treat the disease. Here's the article via Nature Genetics:

Weve all heard of AIDSAcquired Immune Deficiency Syndromewhere the immune system is compromised by a virus. What you may not be familiar with are Primary Immune Deficiency Diseases, which result when the bodys immune system is missing a key component or simply doesnt work right. Often times, people are simply born this way. One in 20,000-50,000 people will suffer from one of nearly 100 disorders that fall under this general category. It can mean serious and persistent bouts with pneumonia or sinusitis, in addition to a variety of other symptoms. Health Care Report

Adrenoleukodystrophy affects young boys, usually by the age of 7. A more slowly developing form of the disorder can begin in adults in their 20s. Adrenomyeloneuropathy affects adolescent boys. In these disorders, widespread demyelination is accompanied by adrenal gland dysfunction. Eventually, mental deterioration, spasticity, and blindness occur. No cure for either disorder is known. Dietary supplements with glycerol trioleate and glycerol trierucate (known as Lorenzo's oil) have not been shown to slow the progression of the disease. Bone marrow transplantation is an experimental treatment.

Immune System Disorders V Print Preview of Section As with the humoral immune response, the cell-mediated immune response involves a complex series of events after antigens enter the body. Helper T cells are required, so some of the antigen must be taken up by macrophages and presented to helper T cells. The helper T cells bind the presented antigen and thereby become activated to divide and secrete interleukins. The interleukins in turn activate any killer T cells that have already bound antigen attached to class I MHC molecules on infected cells. The activated killer T cells can then kill any cells displaying antigen attached to class I MHC molecules, effectively eliminating any cells infected with the antigen.

It's free! Save it. The initiative is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. It is an outcome of a 2001 NIH advisory panel's recommendations to accelerate basic and clinical research in primary immunodeficiency diseases and to attract new investigators to the field. "Until now, a relative scarcity of study subjects has limited a researcher's options for investigating these lesser known diseases," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the NIAID. "The consortium will help advance our understanding by focusing research priorities, uniting established researchers with new investigators, funding small-scale clinical and preclinical projects, and creating or expanding research resources, including a cell line repository and Web-based patient registry to which all researchers will have access."

Contact Us Return to Allergy/Immunology Home Clinical Services Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders About Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders About primary immunodeficiency disorders A healthy child's immune system identifies and attacks infectious organisms, including bacteria, viruses or fungi. If the immune system fails, children get sick faster and for longer periods of time from usual childhood infections. These children are also susceptible to infection with ordinarily harmless organisms. Conditions in which a child is born with a defective or absent immune system are called congenital or primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID). The immune system is made up of several different types of white blood cells. Each white blood cell type is specialized to deal with different categories of infection. For instance, neutrophils generally fight bacteria, while lymphocytes generally fight viruses. Cell types also use different strategies to fight infection. For instance, T lymphocytes can kill other cells that are infected with a virus. B lymphocytes on the other hand work by making special substances in the blood called antibodies, which are proteins that fight infection.
