## Abstract ## Objective New examples support the concept that host immune responses to pathogenic organisms can act as the nidus for autoimmunity. Two such examples implicate the EpsteinโBarr virus (EBV) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), i.e., data consistent with SLE antiโSm and antiโ60โkd
Prophylactic vaccines, designed to elicit potent humoral and cellular immune responses to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) antigens in mucosa, are the important approach to the protection of individuals against HIV-1 infection, since HIV-1 transmission is largely a result of sexual contac
## Abstract Natural killer T (NKT) cells generally recognize lipidโantigens presented in the context of the MHC class Iโlike molecule CD1d. CD1dโrestricted NKT cells consist of two broad subsets: Type I, which express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and type II, which utilize diverse TCR gene se
The use of chimeric virus-like particles represents a new strategy for delivering tumor antigens to the immune system for the initiation of antitumor immune responses. Immunization of DBA/2 mice with the P1A peptide derived from the P815 tumor-associated antigen P1A induced specific T-cell tolerance
A prediction of the theory of immunologic surveillance is that tumour antigens can be recognised by cell-mediated immunity during early development of the primary tumour by formation of tumour antigen-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) and that such recognition leads to destruction of those tumou
