It may also be important in immune surveillance against cancer.

In fact, they do so on an ongoing basis, and cancer develops only when immune surveillance breaks down.

Another type of cytoplasmic receptor also has a role in immune surveillance.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune surveillance system.

Once you pass the point of no return, you are probably beyond the ability for an adequate immune surveillance to control the disease."

It also contributes to immune surveillance and helps to prevent the entrance of microbes into the eye.

"So the big brain calls in more immune surveillance at the gut wall by activating mast cells."

NK-cells do immune surveillance, attack pathogens and abnormal cells.

Dr. Schreiber's work focuses on the concept of immune surveillance in cancer pathogenesis.

Compared to the spiral form, spheroplasts of B. burgdorferi have reduced surface area exposed to immune surveillance.

Nevertheless, many researchers hold to the importance of such immune surveillance, and are conducting about 60 trials of experimental cancer vaccines.

"Reducing immunosuppression allowed her immune surveillance mechanism to work in the rest of the body, but not in her brain."

Failure of immune surveillance, the removal of malignant cells throughout one's life by the immune system.

These alleles help balance immune surveillance and immune response without increasing the risk of developing an autoimmune condition.

One is when cells or tissue are grafted to a so-called privileged site that is sequestered from immune surveillance.

Paradoxical effects of cytokines in tumor immune surveillance and tumor immune escape.

The original immune surveillance hypothesis proposed that tumor cells arise naturally and are normally eradicated by the immune system.

Similarly, TGFβ can promote tumor invasion and evasion of immune surveillance at advanced stages.

In P. falciparum it has been has been shown to regulate the expression of surface antigens to evade the detection by host immune surveillance.

Apart from the mutagenesis, overexposure to sunlight depresses the local immune system, possibly decreasing immune surveillance for new tumor cells.

A balance is eventually struck between occasional viral reactivation and host immune surveillance removing cells that activate viral gene expression.

The human body makes millions of different types of B cells each day that circulate in the blood and lymphatic system performing the role of immune surveillance.

Phagocytosis is used in immune surveillance and antigen presentation, while cell-type determination, cell sorting, and pattern formation are basic features of embryogenesis.

QUASI's findings may be consistent with the existence of gaps in the carbohydrate groups thought to mask the silent face from gp120 from immune surveillance.

Recent murine experiments have shown that IFN-γ may be the central mediator of immune surveillance in the immunocompetent host [ 25].
