Angular Pseudomomentum Theory for the Generalized Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger Equation in Discrete Rotational Symmetry Media

2009

We develop a complete mathematical theory for the symmetrical solutions of the generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation based on the new concept of angular pseudomomentum. We consider the symmetric solitons of a generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a nonlinearity depending on the modulus of the field. We provide a rigorous proof of a set of mathematical results justifying that these solitons can be classified according to the irreducible representations of a discrete group. Then we extend this theory to non-stationary solutions and study the relationship between angular momentum and pseudomomentum. We illustrate these theoretical results with numerical examples. Finally, we…

Induction of tolerogenic DCs: ‘you are what you eat’

2003

Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) take up antigens using antigen receptors that can be divided into three major classes: C-type lectins, integrins and Fc receptors. These receptors facilitate effective presentation of MHC–peptide complexes to T cells, resulting in the induction of immune responses. However, we discuss recent evidence that some receptors also cause induction of tolerance. Signaling motifs within the receptors either block maturation of DCs or induce signals that render DCs tolerogenic. These DCs then either induce regulatory T cells or cause deletion of effector T cells, resulting in the induction of tolerance. Antigen receptors expressed by DCs might therefore have an importan…

Pathological role of IL-6 in the experimental allergic bronchial asthma in mice.

2005

Although allergic asthma was described to be associated with the presence of mucosal T helper (Th)2 cells, it is not entirely clear which factors are responsible for priming of T cells to differentiate into Th2 effector cells in this disease. Interleukin (IL)-6 has been recognized as important because it is secreted by cells of the innate immunity and induces the expansion of the Th2 effector cells, which are major players of the adaptive immune responses. Additionally, IL-6 released by dendritic cells (DCs) inhibits the suppressive function of CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells, thus inhibiting the peripheral tolerance. The signal transduction of IL-6 has recently taught us how this cytokine inf…

Targeting p53, hdm2, and CD19: vaccination and immunologic strategies.

2000

Peptides presented by class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and derived from normal self-proteins that are expressed at elevated levels by cells from a variety of human (Hu) malignancies provide, in theory, potential target antigens for a broad-spectrum, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-based immunotherapy of cancer and hematologic malignancies. However, as such tumor- and leukemia-associated self-proteins are also expressed at low levels in some types of normal tissues, such as thymus, spleen and lymphohemopoietic cells, these self-MHC-self-peptide complexes may also represent thymic and/or peripheral tolerogens, thereby preventing immune responses. This is particularly true…
