In the paper, the scientific activities of Polish scientist Michał Jan Borch (1753–1811) are briefly discussed, The Polish translation of Borch’s article (published in “Atti dell’ Academia della Scienza di Siena” in 1781) on the luminescence of the sea and different ideas on what could cause the phenomenon is presented. The attempts of Borch to isolate the luminescence – generating substance from...
Summary. The central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system were for many years considered as two autonomous systems. Now, the reciprocal connections between them are generally recognized and very well documented. The links are realized mainly by various immuno- and neuropeptides. In the review the influence of the following immunopeptides on CNS is presented: tuftsin, thymulin, thymopoietin and...
Siemion, I. Z., A. Kluczyk and Z. Wieczorek. Anti-IL-1 activity of peptide fragments of IL-1 family proteins. Peptides 19(2) 373-382, 1998.-A series of peptides containing retro-tuftsin- and tuftsin-like motifs from IL-1 proteins inhibits IL-1-induced IL-2 production and reduces the humoral immune response, thus supporting our hypothesis that tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg)-IL-1 competition depends on the...
