It was founded in 1956 and is one of the oldest and largest Immunology societies in the world and the largest in Europe. It publishes two scientific journals Immunology journal Immunology and Clinical and Experimental Immunology . BSI members work throughout the entire Immunology chain, stretching from the laboratory bench right through to the clinics and hospitals in which patients are treated from discovery to delivery. The fields in which they work are wide and extensive, from HIV AIDS to allergy , diabetes , malaria , tuberculosis , animal health , arthritis , Organ transplantation transplantation , vaccination and infectious disease . The BSI s main objective is to promote and support excellence in research, scholarship and clinical practice in immunology for the benefit of human and animal health and welfare. The BSI seeks to help British Immunology accomplish the highest possible goals. To meet this objective, the BSI undertakes the following Running innovative events in research, public engagement and education Promoting and disseminating research and good practice in Immunology, translational medicine and vaccination Working with its members to develop the benefits of membership and the relevance of the Society Providing bursaries and grants Enhancing public awareness of immunology Influencing policy and decision makers Working with other societies The current General Secretary is Professor David Gray University of Edinburgh The Board of Trustees is composed of Dr Lindsay Nicholson, Dr David Morgan both University of Bristol ... imm enhanced Immunology journal http www.blackwellpublishing.com cei enhanced Clinical and Experimental Immunology journal http www.facebook.com home.php? pages British Society for Immunology ...

The Center of Molecular Immunology Centro de Inmunolog a Molecular or CIM , is a cancer research institution located on the west side of Havana , Cuba . Opened on December 5, 1994, it focuses on the research and production of new biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and other nontransmissible diseases. Facilities The design and construction of the Center of Molecular Immunology was modeled on current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization and adopted by Cuba, particularly those also adopted by the member countries of the European Union, then known as the European Community. Research labs, production areas and administrative offices share the 15,000 square meters of the two floor facility. Approximately 800 employees work at the CIM, most of them scientists and engineers. These personnel are administratively organized in three main areas Research and Development, Production, and Quality Assurance. Research Basic research projects are focused on cancer immunotherapy , especially the development of molecular vaccines. These include antibody engineering, cellular engineering, bioinformatics and regulation of the immune response . CIM conducts clinical trials in diagnostic imaging and cancer therapy of varying origin, as well as other immune system diseases, in highly specialized hospitals.

The laboratory is focused on mechanism of and effects on T cell activations and suppressions mediated by certain types of antigen which are able to inference the commitment of antigen presenting cells. The laboratory is also focus its attention on the development of technologies which improve immunopotency of nuclei acid based vaccine, as well as employing vaccinome platform to design the suitable therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines against immuno disorders and infectious pathogens. Based on our recent developments for the conceptual vaccine designs, we have tested in several viral disease models including FMDV, CSFV, NDV and HBV. The significant progress has been made on the designing and testing nuclei acid vaccine against FMDV infection in large animals. The design has been incorporated with several recent discoveries made by this laboratory for improving immune response, particularly on the efficient antigen presentation and activation of T cell responses.

The Center is led by vaccine expert Alessandro Sette, Ph.D. The development of vaccinations continues to be a major priority in research and clinical medicine. There are a large number of diseases that do not have vaccinations that are effective, as in the case of HIV and malaria. New and emerging infectious agents such as SARS and avian flu, as well as resurfacing dormant diseases, are frequently without effective treatment as well. Threats of bioterrorism are also bringing the attention of the medical research community back to diseases such as anthrax and smallpox.

Image AntibodyChains.svg thumb The idiotype is based upon the variable region labeled VL and VH in the diagram. In immunology , an idiotype is a shared characteristic between a group of immunoglobulin or T cell receptor TCR molecules based upon the antigen binding specificity and therefore structure of their variable region. The variable region of antigen receptors of T cell s TCRs and B cell s immunoglobulins contains a complementarity determining region CDR with a unique amino acid structure that determines the antigen specificity of the receptor. The structure formed by the CDR is known as the idio tope . Immunoglobulins or TCRs with a shared idiotope are the same idio type . Antibody idiotype is determined by Gene rearrangement Junctional diversity P nucleotides palindromic nucleotides at sites of single strand breaks N nucleotides Somatic hypermutations The term idiotype is sometimes used to describe the collection of multiple idiotopes, and therefore overall antigen binding capacity, possessed by an antibody. The word idiotype became influential in immunology when Niels Jerne formulated his immune network theory . Jerne was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1984 largely for being the father of immune network theory. He defined idiotype as the set of epitopes on the V region of an antibody molecule, where epitope means an antigenic determinant. He also defined the paratope to be that part of an antibody variable region that binds to an antigen. The best developed version of immune network theory is called the symmetrical network theory, in which the distinction between idiotype and paratope plays no role.
