Cell-based Cancer Therapies Cytotoxicity is a property of some immune cells to induce lysis of other cells that can be detected as non-functional or transformed. In the recent years, redirecting cytotoxicity in cancer has been the base of cell-based cancer therapies that involve the use of living cells to treat cancer. There are several types Read More

In addition to talks by Prof Abbas, Day 3 of Immuno-Jaipur included talks on autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. Prof. Bernhard Fleisher gave a talk on autoimmunity in the central nervous system where he discussed various autoimmune diseases such as Myasthenia Gravis, Encephalitis, Multiple sclerosis. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease…

Introduction The immune system’s three basic functions are Defence, Surveillance and Homeostasis Elaborate and redundant tolerance mechanisms are in effect both during maturation and later in the lymphocyte life-cycle, leading to clonal deletion or anergy Anergy can be reversed to allow recruitment of autoreactive clones to maximise receptor diversity (e.g. during infection) Autoimmunity (Table 1) Read More
