Thanks, Doris ! _______________________ Study Finds Children with Autism Have More Active Adaptive Immune System New Research May Also Identify Potential Mechanism for Immune Dysregulation in Autism With support from Cure Autism Now, a study recently published in the Journal of Neuroimmunology has found that children with autism have a more active immune system. The research, led by Molloy, MD, also identified a potential mechanism for this immune dysregulation. The authors suggest that a cytokine called interleukin-10 (IL-10) could be a key part of the mechanism that leads to alterations in the adaptive immune response in individuals with autism. This new finding about the role of IL-10 provides another piece of the puzzle in understanding the complex nature of immune dysfunction in autism. As early as the 1970's, immunological factors were identified in autism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
