The Role of Monocytes and Macrophages in the Pathogenesis of Non-AIDS Defining Events: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Samuel Adinoyi Adavba · Asian Journal of Immunology · 2025

Monocytes and macrophages play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of HIV infection, contributing not only to viral persistence but also to the development of non-AIDS-defining events (nADEs) in People Living with HIV (PLWH). These innate immune cells act as long-lived viral reser...

An Alum Loaded Macrophage Driven Autoimmune Myopathy

Ibrahim M S SHNAWA · Asian Journal of Immunology · 2025

Immune mediated diseases and syndromes are rare and attributed at most to genetic and environmental interactions. Macrophagic Myofasciitis MMF is one of these syndromes sub-entities. In the present opinion the immunobiology of MMF was being reviewed. The molecular autoimmune mech...

Anti-N Antibody Reacting at 37°C: An Unusual Reaction in Antibody Screening in a 20-Year-Old Male Liver Donor

Muhammad Shayan Ashfaq & Muhammad Hasan · Asian Journal of Immunology · 2025

Anti-N antibodies usually possess cold-reactive properties which make them clinically insignificant and are mostly classified as naturally occurring IgM antibodies. These antibodies sometimes trigger reactions at body temperature (37°C) or in the anti-human globulin phase resulti...
