Track 02: Histocompatibility and Transplantation

The transplant of organs is one of the greatest therapeutic achievements of the twentieth century. In organ transplantation, the adaptive immunity is considered the main response exerted to the transplanted tissue, since the principal target of the immune response is the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules expressed on the surface of donor cells. However, we should not forget that the innate and adaptive immunities are closely interrelated and should be viewed as complementary and cooperating.

Track 03: Immunology and Transplantation

Transplantation is the act of transferring cells, tissues, or organs from one site to another. Development of the field of organ and tissue transplantation has accelerated remarkably since the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) was discovered in 1967. However, the immune system remains the most formidable barrier to transplantation as a routine medical treatment. The immune system has developed elaborate and effective mechanisms to combat foreign agents. Establishing immune tolerance in transplant recipients is essential for promoting the long-term survival of an allograft and for preventing the development of harmful graft-versus-host responses

Track 04: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

A hematopoietic stem cell is a cell isolated from the blood or bone marrow that can renew itself and can differentiate to a variety of specialized cells. It have the capacity to mobilize out of the bone marrow into circulating blood and can undergo programmed cell death which called as Apoptosis.  Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent, the self-renewing progenitor cells that develop from the mesodermal hemangioblast cells. Although these anticancer treatments are among the most effective available, they do not have a precise aim and can destroy normal cells as well. Hematopoietic stem cells in adult bone marrow self-proliferate and differentiate into erythroid, lymphoid (B cells and T cells) and myeloid lineages (granulocytes, megakaryocytes, and macrophages).

Track 06: Regulation of Gene Expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes, such as transfer RNA (tRNA) or small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes. Regulation of gene expression is thus critical to an organism's development. Regulation of gene expression refers to the control of the amount and timing of appearance of the functional product of a gene. Cyclin expression levels control progression through the eukaryotic cell cycle. Gene regulation gives the cell control over all structure and function, and is the basis for cellular differentiation, morphogenesis and the versatility and adaptability of any organism.

Track 11: Osteoimmunology

Osteoimmunology is a new study between the immune system, the hemopoietic system and bone. Osteoimmunology is a field that studies a treatment or prevention of the bone related diseases caused by disorders of the immune system. These cells secrete inflammatory cytokines that promote bone resorption, as well as Wnt ligands that stimulate the bone formation. In addition, T cells regulate bone homeostasis by cross talking with BM stromal cells and osteoblastic cells via CD40 ligand (CD40L) and other stimulatory molecules. This research on the immune cells is relevant to bone and the hemopoietic function, reviews the role of lymphocytes as mediators of the effects of PTH and estrogen in bone and the hemopoietic system and discusses the implication of osteoimmunology for transplant medicine.

Track 13: Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a broad category of anti-cancer therapies that use the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells. These cells are different from normal cells, in that they do not die normally. Immunotherapy drugs are designed to alert the immune system about these mutated cells so it can locate and destroy them.  Cancer is being treated by immunotherapy. Immunomodulatory regimens often have fewer side effects than existing drugs, including less potential for creating resistance in microbial disease. These are the active agents of immunotherapy.

Track 14: Diabetes immunogenetics

A complex interaction of both genetic and immunologic factors leads an autoimmune disease Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). T1DM usually has a relapsing remitting disease course with autoantibody and T cellular responses to islet auto antigens, which precede the clinical onset of the disease process. The immunological diagnosis of autoimmune diseases relies primarily on the detection of autoantibodies in the serum of T1DM patients. Although their pathogenic significance remains uncertain, they have the practical advantage of serving as surrogate biomarkers for predicting the clinical onset of T1DM.

Track 15:  Multiple Sclerosis Immunogenetics

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and common cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults. The likelihood for an individual to develop MS is strongly influenced by her or his ethnic background and family history of disease, suggesting that genetic susceptibility is a key determinant of risk. Over 100 loci have been firmly associated with susceptibility, whereas the main signal genome-wide maps to the class II region of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene cluster and explains up to 10.5% of the genetic variance underlying risk. HLA-DRB1*15:01 has the strongest effect with an average odds ratio of 3.08.

Track 16: Population Genetics

The collection of all the alleles of all of the genes found within a freely interbreeding population is known as the gene pool of the population. It is the study of genetic variation within populations, and involves the examination and modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in populations over space and time. Many of the genes found within a population will be polymorphic - that is, they will occur in a number of different alleles. The main process of evolution are natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and genetic recombination and they form an integral part of the theory that underpins population genetics. Genetics in this branch of biology which examines such phenomena as adaptation, speciation, population subdivision, and population structure. It directly impacts counselling, forensic medicine, and genetic screening.

Track 17: HIV Immunogenetics

Host genetic variation is presently estimated to account for about one-fourth of the observed differences in control of HIV across infected individuals. HLA proteins play important roles in T-cell-mediated adaptive immunity by presenting immunodominant HIV epitopes to cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and CD4(+) T cells. Of the genetic variants that have been shown to affect the natural history of HIV infection, the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I genes exhibit the strongest and most consistent association, underscoring a central role for CD8(+) T cells in resistance to the virus. Genetic and functional data also indicate a function for HLA in natural killer cell-mediated innate immunity against HIV by interacting with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). We review the HLA and KIR associations with HIV disease and discuss the mechanisms underlying these associations.
