The currently used vaccine for prevention of tuberculosis is Bacillus Calmette Guerin, which has been associated with a protective effect of 51% against tuberculosis. New vaccination strategies based on an enhancement of adaptive T-cell based immunity have been unsuccessful in increasing the efficie
Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) show increased numbers of Th2 cells in their acute skin lesions and superficial skin colonization by Staphylococcus aureus. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of S. aureus cell wall components on Th2 chemokine production by murine Langerhans cell

Structural changes in the thymus over the course of allogenic pregnancy were studied in mice from highly fertile couples (CBA females and BALB/c males), animals with high spontaneous abortions (CBA females and DBA/2 males), and in experimental immunity-dependent pregnancy loss induced by muramyldipe
