World Immunization Week, April 2013: news, campaign materials, technical resources.
Alfredo Corell's curator insight, April 29, 2013 2:44 PM

Immunization averts an estimated 2-3 million deaths every year, providing protection from diphtheria, measles, pertussis (whooping cough), pneumonia, polio, rotavirus diarrhoea, rubella and tetanus. Yet, an estimated 22 million infants are not fully immunized with routine vaccines. There is an urgent need to better communicate the health benefits of vaccination and the dangers of not immunizing children.

Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmune Disease

Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmune Disease | Immunopathology & Immunotherapy | Scoop.it

Those in self-nonself camp, the more dominant of the two camps, would see a threat in the molecular mimics and link those to autoimmunity. Whereas the danger or damage theory proponents would argue that the presence or absence of molecular mimicry by itself means nothing unless the mimicked code evokes damage. Data can be found supporting either argument.
