Guillain barre | Molecular mimicry
Guillain barre is the main cause of short-term muscle weakness or the short-term inability to move your muscles. It is primarily caused by the bacteria Campylobacter jenjuni which is found in undercooked, infected chicken. One to three weeks after your immune system fights off the infection, the immune cells begin to target the nerves. This is due to molecular mimicry. The bacteria has a protein that looks almost exactly like the coating of your nerves. Therefore, the B cells, T cells, and macrophages begin to destroy the myelin coating around nerves and even destroy nerves themselves. Nerve destruction leads to the inability to move. Removing the antibodies that the B cells make seem to improve Guillain barre in 80% of people affected. The antibodies are removed through plasmapheresis (similar to dialysis). .

How does Lyme Disease Happen?
มุมมอง 852ปีที่แล้ว
Lyme disease is caused by black legged ticks also known as deer ticks. Lyme disease happens because ticks drink bacteria-infected blood from deer and mice in the wild. The deer and mice have Borrelia bacteria in their system which transfers to the ticks. Then when the ticks bite humans, the ticks transfer the bacteria to people. If caught quickly and treated with antibiotics, Lyme Disease can b...
T cells | Immunology Lecture | MHC-I versus MHC-II
มุมมอง 4Kปีที่แล้ว
This lecture is about T cells and major-histocompatibility complex I and II (MHC-I and MHC-II). The video will go over how T cells and antigen presenting cells fit together and activate. We will discuss where proteins come from to load into MHC-I (the cytosol) and MHC-II (vesicles). Furthermore, I will discuss the differences between CD4 and CD8 T cells. We will also cover positive and negative...

This lecture is about cytokines and chemokines as well as the toll-like receptor pathway. We will focus on Myd88 and NFkB and how toll-like receptor engagement causes most innate immune cell inflammation. The second half of the lecture will be about individual cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a.
Immunology Lecture 3 | Innate immune cells | Leukocyte rolling adhesion
มุมมอง 3.8Kปีที่แล้ว
This is immunology lecture 3. We will cover innate immune cells including macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, and natural killer cells. Importantly, we will also cover how immune cells leave the blood stream and enter tissue, a process called leukocyte rolling adhesion.

Vitamin D and the Immune system
มุมมอง 29K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Vitamin D and the immune system work together. You might be surprised that vitamin D can boost and suppress the immune system. Vitamin D can boost primitive defenses of macrophages (Cathlecidin, LL-37, and Beta Defensins. However it reduces classic inflammatory cytokines like IL-1beta, Il-6, and TNF-a. Vitamin D also suppresses the adaptive immune system, B and T cells. This means that high lev...
ADE | What is Antibody Dependent Enhancement
มุมมอง 18K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Many people are wondering what is Antibody Dependent Enhancement or ADE. Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) is a second key for a virus to enter your immune cells. Viruses have spike proteins that allow it to enter one or two types of cells like lung cells or neurons. That is the first key. If antibodies bind to a virus in a non-neutralizing way, the virus can enter immune cells called macrop...

    1) this was a fantastic video, cogent & thorough. Subscribed! 2) if there are 3 ways to spread dysfunctional prions, then cannibalism (BSE or Kuru) involving the consumption (of the spinal cord or brain) seems to be the "on steroids -mega-super-effective" way to 'best' facilitate the transmission of ANY bad/rogue/defective prions (to unaffected individuals), no matter which of the 3 ways they were created. 3) when an infected dendritic cell dies, does this always result in the spread of extracellular PrP-sc to other dendritic cells, or is there any way this chain of infection can be stopped? 4) my roommate and I, as non-militant vegetarians, had great hopes that vCJD would take out a few billion, but no such luck. Ebola let us down, along with numerous other disappointments involving the quick and easy dispatch of unproductive homosapiens. As a statistician, the 'unspecified virus of unknown origin' was clearly a non-starter, because right from the first batch of information, the lethality without the presence of the multiple other co-factors was tiny.

I'm not understanding how that leads to more. Doesn't someone have to already be effected by a misfolded prion in order for them to transfer the disease through cannibalism? Or does it have a higher chance of misfolding after death??

One Google search later, and i see that the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources stated that temperatures of 900 degrees (C) and up can reliably destroy those little buggers. Now, how that can be applied to treating a prion disease in a living being... I've no idea. Maybe a direct strike from a bolt of lightning (5 times hotter than the surface of the Sun...)? No. *NO.*

    Be very careful and evaluate people well before starting Allergen Specific Immunotherapy. I developed Relapsing Polychondritis with renal involvement in the form of mesangial nephropathy, which has evolved into fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis leading to renal failure, during the course of applying SIT with a member of CONICA, COMPEDIA in Guadalajara. There are certainly several reports in the medical literature about the induction of autoimmune diseases during SIT. SIT aims to reduce allergic symptoms by providing tolerance to peripheral T cells through the induction of regulatory T cells. By stimulating Treg cells, the Th1-Th2 balance shifts towards Th1, leading to substantial changes in the T cell cytokine profile, increasing the synthesis of IL-2, IL-12, IL-18, IFN-γ and tumor necrosis factor-β by Th1 (Those are the cells involved in the pathogenesis of Relapsing Polychondritis and Mesangial Nephropathy). My health was destroyed by SIT, just as it has been destroyed for other people. They should be held accountable for the side effects, I am now a lifelong diseased person like many others because of that damned allergen-specific immunotherapy. Be very careful.
