Cell permeable Foxp3 protein converts CD4 T cells to suppressor
... CD4+CD25+ Tregs. Foxp3-transduced T cells have been studied for conversion of CD4+CD25- T cells to CD4+CD25+ Treg cells as well as for inhibition of T cell activation and proliferation. To study about Foxp3 function in T cells, we have generated a recombinant protein of Foxp3 combined with previousl ...

Transplants

Being genetically identical, the recipient sees the transplant as "self", not as foreign, and does not mount an attack against it.

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.
