HLA class I supertypes: a revised and updated classification

John Sidney, Bjoern Peters, Nicole Frahm et al. · 22 Jan 2008

BACKGROUND: Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules bind, and present to T cells, short peptides derived from intracellular processing of proteins. The peptide repertoire of a specific molecule is to a large extent determined by the molecular structure accommodating so-called main anchor positions of the presented peptide. These receptors are extremely polymorphic, and much…

Role of intestinal microbiota and metabolites on gut homeostasis and human diseases

Lan Lin, Jianqiong Zhang · 6 Jan 2017

BACKGROUND: A vast diversity of microbes colonizes in the human gastrointestinal tract, referred to intestinal microbiota. Microbiota and products thereof are indispensable for shaping the development and function of host innate immune system, thereby exerting multifaceted impacts in gut health. METHODS: This paper reviews the effects on immunity of gut microbe-derived nucleic acids, and gut…

Circulating cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia determined by multiplex suspension array

András Szarka, János Rigó, Levente Lázár et al. · 1 Dec 2010

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is a severe complication of pregnancy characterized by an excessive maternal systemic inflammatory response with activation of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules are central to innate and adaptive immune processes. The purpose of this study was to determine circulating levels of cytokines, chemokines…

Transcriptional profiling of the LPS induced NF-κB response in macrophages

Omar Sharif, В. Н. Большаков, Stephanie Raines et al. · 12 Jan 2007

BACKGROUND: Exposure of macrophages to bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in activation of the NF-kappaB transcription factor, which orchestrates a gene expression programme that underpins the macrophage-dependent immune response. These changes include the induction or repression of a wide range of genes that regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, migration and cell survival. This process…

Prerequisites for cytokine measurements in clinical trials with multiplex immunoassays

Wilco de Jager, Katarzyna Bourcier, Ger T. Rijkers et al. · 1 Jan 2009

BACKGROUND: Growing knowledge about cellular interactions in the immune system, including the central role of cytokine networks, has lead to new treatments using monoclonal antibodies that block specific components of the immune system. Systemic cytokine concentrations can serve as surrogate outcome parameters of these interventions to study inflammatory pathways operative in patients in vivo. This…

BMC Immunology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Immunology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Immunology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Immunology use?
BMC Immunology uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Immunology. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Immunology?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Immunology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Immunology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Immunology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is BMC Immunology?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Immunology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Immunology template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Immunology template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Immunology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Immunology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
