Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

17.7K
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...

Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the primary cause of viral encephalitis in Asia, with high incidence and fatality rates.
  • JE survivors often experience severe, permanent neurocognitive deficits.
  • The virus has expanded its reach, causing epidemics in new regions, and no effective environmental controls exist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significant public health burden of Japanese encephalitis in Asia.
  • To emphasize the lack of effective pharmaceutical treatments for JE.
  • To advocate for the strategic implementation of vaccination as a primary control measure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiological data on Japanese encephalitis incidence and outcomes.
  • Analysis of the impact of socioeconomic factors and agricultural practices on transmission.
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccination strategies in various Asian countries.

Main Results:

  • JE incidence ranges from 10-100 per 100,000 in endemic areas, with a 30% case fatality rate.
  • Vaccination programs have demonstrably reduced JE incidence in China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.
  • No effective drug treatments or environmental controls are currently available for JE.

Conclusions:

  • Given the high mortality, sequelae, and lack of treatment, vaccination is the most logical approach to control JE.
  • Systematic and large-scale vaccination efforts are essential for mitigating the impact of Japanese encephalitis.
  • Vaccination has proven effective in reducing JE incidence in several Asian nations.
