"Immune detection" refers to the process by which the immune system recognizes and identifies substances that are foreign or harmful to the body, such as viruses, bacteria, or cancer cells. It involves specialized immune cells that can detect these substances and initiate an immune response to eliminate them from the body.
Full definition
In order for the attack to take place, the virus must first
avoid immune detection and remain intact while navigating its way through the various parts of the cell.
In response, precancerous and cancerous cells may exploit immune checkpoint pathways to
evade immune detection and destruction.
Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City wondered if having a gD - 2 component in a vaccine might «mask» other viral particles and allow them to
escape immune detection.
«These injectable 3D vaccines offer a minimally invasive and scalable way to deliver therapies that work by mimicking the body's own powerful immune - response in diseases that have previously been able to
skirt immune detection.»
Scientists have figured out how a bacterium that causes ear and respiratory illnesses is able to
elude immune detection in the middle ear, likely contributing to chronic or recurrent infections in adults and children.
«We use an isolated population of cells from a dog called mesenchymal stem cells that do not
undergo immune detection,» Estrada says.
What's more, Discher says, unpublished work from his lab suggests that adding the molecular passports to viruses that deliver genes in gene therapy also helps them
avoid immune detection.
Cancer cells are able to use the normally healthy process of inflammation to promote their own growth and
evade immune detection.
Tumors take advantage of CTLA - 4 activity to avoid
immune detection.
We focus on understanding how cancers cells thrive by exploiting inflammatory processes, corrupting surrounding normal cells and avoiding
immune detection.
But the protein is genetically diverse across different strains of malaria — probably from frequent mutations to avoid
immune detection — and RTS, S includes just one form, or allele.
«Cancer is notorious for its ability to evade
immune detection,» says pioneering mycologist Paul Stamets, who was also Director of Research for the study.
