Background: The proteolytic activity of the house dust mite allergen Der p 1 has recently been shown to bias Th cell subset development in favour of Th2. Apart from its direct effect on T cells, it is conceivable that the proteolytic activity of Der...

The danger theory and its application to Artificial Immune Systems (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., & Cayzer, S. (2002). The danger theory and its application to Artificial Immune Systems. In J. Timmis, & P. J. Bentley (Eds.), ICARIS 2002: 1st International Conference on Artificial Immune Systems (141-148)

Over the last decade, a new idea challenging the classical self-non-self viewpoint has become popular amongst immunologists. It is called the Danger Theory. In this conceptual paper, we look at this theory from the perspective of Artificial Immune Sy... Read More about The danger theory and its application to Artificial Immune Systems.

Poverty, caring and older age (2002)
Journal Article
Argyle, E. (2002). Poverty, caring and older age

Due to the high incidence of disability amongst their contemporaries, older people are likely to be involved in informal caring relationships. Due to the limited nature of post-retirement incomes, such carers are also likely to be relatively poor. In... Read More about Poverty, caring and older age.
