Toll-like receptors in innate immunity

Kiyoshi Takeda · 22 Nov 2004

Functional characterization of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has established that innate immunity is a skillful system that detects invasion of microbial pathogens. Recognition of microbial components by TLRs initiates signal transduction pathways, which triggers expression of genes. These gene products control innate immune responses and further instruct development of antigen-specific acquired immunity. TLR signaling pathways are…

The roles of TLRs, RLRs and NLRs in pathogen recognition

Taro Kawai, S. Akira · 26 Feb 2009

The mammalian innate immune system detects the presence of microbial infection through germ line-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Toll-like receptors, retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors serve as PRRs that recognize different but overlapping microbial components. They are expressed in different cellular compartments such as the cell surface, endosome, lysosome or cytoplasm…

Expression of the PD-1 antigen on the surface of stimulated mouse T and B lymphocytes

Yasutoshi Agata, Akemi Kawasaki, Hiroyuki Nishimura et al. · 1 Jan 1996

A mAb J43 has been produced against the product of the mouse PD-1 gene, a member of the Ig gene superfamily, which was previously isolated from an apoptosis-induced T cell hybridoma (2B4.11) by using subtractive hybridization. Analyses by flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation using the J43 mAb revealed that the PD-1 gene product is a 50-55…

Immunologic self-tolerance maintained by CD25+CD4+ naturally anergic and suppressive T cells: induction of autoimmune disease by breaking their anergic/suppressive state.

Takamune Takahashi, Yuhshi Kuniyasu, Masaaki Toda et al. · 1 Dec 1998

Elimination of CD25+ T cells, which constitute 5-10% of peripheral CD4+ T cells in normal naive mice, leads to spontaneous development of various autoimmune diseases. These immunoregulatory CD25+CD4+ T cells are naturally unresponsive (anergic) in vitro to TCR stimulation, and, upon stimulation, suppress proliferation of CD25-CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. The antigen concentration…

IL-6 in inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer

Toshio Hirano · 15 Dec 2020

IL-6 is involved both in immune responses and in inflammation, hematopoiesis, bone metabolism and embryonic development. IL-6 plays roles in chronic inflammation (closely related to chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancer) and even in the cytokine storm of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Acute inflammation during the immune response and wound healing is a…

International Immunology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the International Immunology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the International Immunology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does International Immunology use?
International Immunology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', International Immunology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to International Immunology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready International 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 International Immunology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the International Immunology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes International Immunology?
International Immunology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's International Immunology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready International Immunology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official International Immunology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the International Immunology template cost?
