... The interesting point is that the homing receptors expressed by salivary glands for T-cells, B-cells, and dendritic cells occur in NOD.scid mice so that they are independent of cytokines released from the lymphocytes. Thus, the story of Sjogren’s syndrome is not a poor salivary gland that is “beate ...

This system recognizes and destroys “foreign” substances, such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses, toxins and cancer cells.

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.
