1. Saliva collection and detection of anti- T. gondii antibodies of low-income school-age children as a learning strategy on hygiene, prevention and transmission of toxoplasmosis
ABSTRACT School-age children are a social group in which blood collection for laboratory testing can be perceived as an invasive procedure, with low acceptance and tolerance of stakeholders. This problem could be circumvented by replacing serum samples with saliva. For this purpose, and to make the collection of saliva samples playful and instructive for chi

2. HLA-DRB1 GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS AND TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS OVERLAP SYNDROME WITH AUTOIMMUNE CHOLANGITIS
RESUMO CONTEXTO: Hepatite autoimune (HAI) é uma doença hepática inflamatória crônica, rara, associada à perda da tolerância imunológica aos auto-antígenos. A susceptibilidade à HAI é parcialmente determinada pela presença de genes relacionados ao antígeno leucocitário humano (HLA), principalmente variantes alélicas do DRB1. OBJETIVO: O obj

3. CD4+CD69+ T cells and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Treg cells imbalance in peripheral blood, spleen and peritoneal lavage from pristane-induced systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) mice
Abstract Background: Adaptive immune cells, including CD4+CD69+ and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, are important for maintaining immunological tolerance. In human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Treg cells are reduced, whereas CD69 expression is increased, resulting in a homeostatic immune imbalance that may intensify autorea

4. T cell receptor excision circles as a tool for evaluating thymic function in young children
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ responsible for the maturation of T cells as well as the immunological central tolerance. It is in the antenatal period and infancy that it plays its major role. In clinical practice, T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) are considered a direct and reliable measure of the thymic function. TRECs are a by-product of D

5. Gut: Key Element on Immune System Regulation
Abstract The gut is the main organ that mediates the contact between antigens with our organism, controlling the immune response against environmental factors, such as microbiota and food. Innate lymphoid cells participate in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) maturation during the prenatal and early postnatal periods. After birth, breast milk provide

6. Dendritic cells and their relation to apical peridontitis
Abstract: The purpose of this manuscript was to re-discuss apical periodontitis, apical biofilm, and its possible relationship with dendritic cells (DC). DCs are potent regulators of the immune system and their function is divided into three categories that involve the presentation of antigens: the presentation of antigens and activation of T cells; a not we

7. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A enhances indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression by dendritic cells and subsequently impacts lymphocyte proliferation
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen (Ag)-presenting cells that activate and stimulate effective immune responses by T cells, but can also act as negative regulators of these responses and thus play important roles in immune regulation. Pro-angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to cause defective DC differentiation and maturation.

8. Effectiveness and safety of iodopovidone in an experimental pleurodesis model
OBJECTIVES: Chemical pleurodesis is an important therapeutic tool to control recurrent malignant pleural effusion. Among the various sclerosing agents, iodopovidone is considered effective and safe. However, in a recent study, ocular changes were described after iodopovidone was used in recurrent pneumothorax. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effica

9. O papel modulador do receptor símile a TOLL 2 (TLR2) e da microbiota intestinal na sensibilidade e sinalização da insulina em camundongos / The modulatory role of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and of the gut microbiota in the modulation of the insulin sensitivity and signaling
Environmental factors and host genetics interact to control the gut microbiota, which may have a role in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. TLR2 deficient mice, under germ-free conditions are protected from diet-induced insulin resistance. Diet-induced obese mice, acutely treated with TLR2 oligonucleotide antisense during 4 days showed increa

As células dendríticas (DCs) são as mais eficazes células apresentadoras de antígenos. Mesmo com a possibilidade da geração de DCs in vitro, que permitiu a criação de protocolos de vacinação antitumoral, mecanismos de tolerância periférica, mediados por células T reguladoras, impedem uma resposta imune antitumoral eficaz. O presente estudo viso

11. A dymanical approach to study the immunocompetence and the immunological tolerance of mammals.
In this paper we present an in silico study about immune tolerance, where phase transitions have been observed when antigen dosages were varied in virtual samples. Using a dynamical model to study the behavior of the immune system - presented in a previous edition of the International Symposium on Mathematical and Computational Biology -, we have identified

12. Transcriptional networks reconstruction: identification of genes involved on cattle response to tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestation.
In tropical countries, losses caused by tick infestation in cattle lead to a great impact on animal production systems. Weight and feed conversion reduction, together with diseases transmitted by the parasite are some of the problems that lead to economic losses of billion dollars a year. In a general way, Bos taurus indicus cattle are less susceptible to in
