Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects human cartilage and synovial tissue, due to the activation of T and B lymphocytes reactive to type II collagen present in the joints. Although there is no experimental model that mimics all the features of human disease, the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice DBA/1 is the main model for study of this disease. Recently i…
Aging is accompanied by a decrease in several physiological functions that make older individuals less responsive to environmental challenges. In this study, we analyzed the immune response of female BALB/c mice (n = 6) of different ages (from 2 to 96 weeks of age) and identified significant age-related alterations. Immunization with hapten-protein (trinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin, TN…
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects human cartilage and synovial tissue, due to the activation of T and B lymphocytes reactive to type II collagen present in the joints. It is thus a disease with characteristic of cellular and humoral immune response. Although there is not an experimental model that mimics all the features of human disease, the collagen-induced arth…
Intestinal mucosa is a portal of entry for most pathogens that invade the body. The immune response generated in these tissues may present different characteristics, ranging from the elimination of pathogens to the local or systemic tolerance to dietary antigens. The tolerogenic response that follows the intake of proteins is characterized by low levels or absence of either specific antib…
Immune response in gastrointestinal trait usually results in pathogen elimination. However, dietary proteins as well as comensal microrganisms are tolerated antigens. Tolerance acquired by ingestion of proteins seems to depend on the generation of regulatory or supressor T cells, but dendritic cells (DCs) might be deeply involved in this process. Cytokines from Th1 or Th2 cells may influe…
