... The teams findings were published online this week in the Journal of Experimental Medicine in a pap...LIAI completes world's most comprehensive analysis on influenza virus data
SAN DIEGO (January 1, 2007) Researchers from the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) announced today the results of a first of its kind study analyzing all published data worldwide on influenza A virus antibody and T cell epitopes. Antibody and T cell epitopes are small sites on a virus that are the targets of the immune response, and they are critical for developing therapies a...LIAI scientists make major advance in the fight against chronic virus infections
SAN DIEGO (October 9, 2006) A major finding that could lead to a new approach for treating hepatitis C and other chronic virus infections was announced today by researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI). The research team, using controlled laboratory studies of mice, was able to eliminate a chronic virus infection in the animals by blocking a key messenger molecule...LIAI scientists identify immune system trigger for fighting Lyme disease
... LIAI scientist Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., and an international...LIAI finding gives boost to bioinformatics use in fighting disease
SAN DIEGO (June 16, 2006) The use of computers to advance human disease research known as bioinformatics -- has received a major boost from researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI), who have used it to successfully predict immune response to one of the most complex viruses known to man the vaccinia virus, which is used in the smallpox vaccine. Immune responses, w...LIAI scientists make major finding on potential cure for type 1 diabetes
SAN DIEGO (April 20, 2006) A major finding, which represents an important step toward a potential cure for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, has been made by a research team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI). The team, led by Matthias von Herrath, M.D., an internationally recognized expert on the molecular basis of type 1 diabetes, used a combinatorial treatment appro...LIAI initiatives battle influenza; Potential bird flu treatment among their findings
SAN DIEGO (Dec. 19, 2005) The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) is making significant strides in the battle against the avian "bird" flu, with pre-clinical trials under way on a potential treatment conceived by one of its scientists. The Institute, a not-for-profit organization whose cutting-edge research focuses on infectious diseases and other immune system disorders, is also...LIAI scientists make major finding on potential smallpox treatment
SAN DIEGO (September 14, 2005) Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) have made a major advancement toward protecting society against a smallpox outbreak by identifying an antibody in humans that quickly fights the smallpox virus. ...... "This is a very important finding because it has the potential to be an effective treatment for smallpox in humans and therefore...LIAI scientists discover cellular switch for controlling immune system function
SAN DIEGO (September 12, 2005) A major finding by researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) has identified a previously unknown cellular mechanism that acts as an off switch for immune system function. The discovery could lead to the future development of new treatments for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.........
