Secondary structure and (1)H, (13)C and (15)N resonance assignments of Skint-1: a selecting ligand for a murine γδ T cell subset implicated in tumour suppression.

A study describing the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N backbone and side chain chemical shift assignments and secondary structure of Skint-1 a prototypic member of a family of mouse genes, of which Skint-1 is involved in the development of the dendritic epidermal T cell (DETC) subset of γδ T cells.

Elite athlete immunology: importance of nutrition.

Immunosuppression in athletes involved in heavy training is undoubtedly multifactorial in origin. Training and competitive surroundings may increase the athlete's exposure to pathogens and provide optimal conditions for pathogen transmission. Heavy prolonged exertion is associated with numerous hormonal and biochemical changes, many of which potentially have detrimental effects on immune function.
