Current Scientific Activities
The key postulates of immunophysiology as a new scientific trend have been formulated and validated. Immunophysiology recognizes the immune system, along with nervous and endocrine ones, as a regulator of physiological functions in the normal state and during the body adaptation to extreme factors. The change in the functional state of the immune system particular components under the influence of factors which do not lead to antigenic shifts has been demonstrated. The dependence links between mast cells and thromobocytosis, labrocytes and eosinophil growth have been discovered. The role of mast cells (heparin, histamine, glycosaminoglycans) in regulation of the body adaptive reactions has been demonstrated.
The principles of immune correction in various immune deficiency states caused by pathological processes, including inflammatory, autoimmune and oncologic ones, have been developed in the experiment and in clinical conditions. More than 10 Russian immune regulators, including angiotensin converting enzyme, polyoxidonium and myelopidum have been studied and their efficiency as a part of complex therapy has been proved.
Scientific-methodological basis for creation ecologically friendly technology of producing bioactive compounds based on non-pathogenic bacteria has been elaborated. Mechanisms of biosynthesis regulation have been analyzed; preparations from bacterial glycolipids and cationic peptides have been produced that possess high antibiotic and immune modulating activity. Results of thorough investigation of molecular-cellular mechanisms of immunomodulating and antimicrobial action of bacterial glycolipids and peptides favour the broadening of fundamental knowledge of interactions between microorganisms, their vital activity products and human immune system.
