Glycogen metabolism supports effector function and energy
... Dendritic cells (DCs), professional antigen presenting cells of the immune system, serve as a bridge between the innate and adaptive immune responses. Activation of DCs by a stimulus through toll-like receptors (TLRs) is coupled with an increase in energy demand fulfilled by a glycolytic burst, whic ...

Immune System Basics
... B cells have receptors called antibodies (100,000/cell). Different B cells have uniquely shaped antibodies that match specific antigens. If a B cell’s antibody is able to bind with a specific antigen (lock and key effect), the B cell receives a message from Helper T’s to become activated. Ac ...

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.
