The discovery of human immune control protein in Japan is expected to cure cancer

Recently, Japanese researchers have discovered proteins that control the immune function of human immune cells Using this research result, it is expected to treat diseases caused by abnormal immune function and play a certain role in the research and treatment of cancer According to the Japanese economic news, Professor Shen liangjingnan and others at Osaka University found that the human body prevents the proteins that control the body's immune function when "foreign enemies" such as viruses invade The researchers obtained this research result through the operation of a specific gene test in mice It is expected that the research results will be helpful to explain diseases caused by abnormal immune function such as rheumatism of joints and develop new treatment methods for cancer The research was published in the May 24 issue of the American Journal of science, "cell electronic edition" Professor Shen Liang and others said that a protein "regnase1" in T cells with immune function, a kind of lymphocyte, has attracted great attention The researchers manipulated the genes so that the mice did not have the protein It was found that such mice had abnormal symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes When the researchers investigated the function of the protein in detail, they found that the protein acted as a "brake" to prevent T cells from over working If the function of this protein can be controlled, it may be able to improve human immunity, prevent cancer cells from attacking the human body, and achieve the purpose of cancer treatment.
