- Modulation of T(H)2 responses by specific transcription factors and receptors associated with the innate immunity - for example a TLR-9 agonist

- HIV-infected individuals who receive antiviral treatment develop a high incidence of asthma, resembling the inflammatory processes associated with immunoreconstitution

- Correlation of molecular diagnosis and clinical presentation was analyzed in 4 rare primary immunodeficiencies (PID): hyper-IgE syndrome; immune dysfunction, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked disease; cartilage-hair hypoplasia; and nuclear factor-kappaB essential modulator deficiency

- Long-term outcomes from patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) who received bone marrow transplants (BMT) considered successful
