Meanings of foreign antigens in English

The role of the immune system is to identify and eliminate foreign antigens.

Some antibodies blow up foreign antigens, others clump them together.

B lymphocytes must respond to vast numbers of foreign antigens, including those of microbial pathogens.

For some foreign antigens, stimulation of serum IgG antibody is the desired, protective immune response.

Recombinant polioviruses expressing foreign antigens may provide a convenient vaccine vector to engender mucosal immunity.

Thus, the HAART-induced partial recovery of reactivity to foreign antigens may be relatively ineffective in NHL prevention.

Expression of foreign antigens in the context of poliovirus vectors may provide a plausible approach to vaccine development.

Autoimmune diseases result from the activation of self-reactive T cells recognizing autoantigens or foreign antigens cross-reactive with an autoantigen.

Recombinant polioviruses expressing foreign antigens may provide a convenient vaccine vector system to induce protective immunity against diverse pathogens.

Double-stranded (ds)RNA motifs are central to immune regulation and block tolerance to tumor-associated, self- and foreign antigens.

Thus, CpG ODN acts as an enhancer of T cell help, while T cell-controlled restriction to foreign antigens is maintained.

The ability of T-cells to respond to foreign antigens and to appropriately regulate this response is crucial for maintaining immune homeostasis.

Our studies on the immune response to foreign antigens are reviewed as they relate to the mechanisms of peripheral immune tolerance.

But all have in common that they arise from a dysfunction of the immune system, interpreting self components as foreign antigens.

The gastrointestinal tract is exposed to an overwhelming load of foreign antigens arising from commensal microorganisms, dietary products and occasional pathogens.

Cross-reactivity of cryptic self Ig with non-self epitopes could be a mechanism to increase the T cell repertoire for foreign antigens.
