Two-faced TIRs trip the immune switch

To show this, the authors first solved a crystal structure of TIRSNC1, which revealed three molecules of the protein bound through both αD/αE and αA/αE interfaces. This demonstrated the capacity for the same TIR prote ...

Of Mice and Not Men: Differences between Mouse and Human
... In addition to differences in FcR there are well-known differences in expression of Ig isotypes between mice and humans, and direct correlations between subtypes within classes in each species are hard to make. Mice make IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM, and four subtypes of IgG: IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3. Int ...

Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), also referred to as psychoendoneuroimmunology (PENI), is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.The main interests of PNI are the interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationships between mental processes and health. PNI studies, among other things, the physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in health and disease; disorders of the neuroimmune system (autoimmune diseases; hypersensitivities; immune deficiency); and the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the neuroimmune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
