Laboratory of immunoregulation

Freidlin Irina Solomonovna
doctor of medical sciences, professor, corresponding member of RAMS, the head of the laboratory
Scientific interests: fundamental and applied immunology, interactions of immune cells, cytokines, immunoregulation, immunopathology

Kositzkaya Lyudmila Samuilovna, PhD, senior scientist,
Scientific interests: immunoregulation, antiidiotipic antibodies, immunopathology, clinical immunology, immune diagnostics.

Applied aspects: 1. To determine clinical-immunological characteristics of autoimmune diseases, "complete serological analysis" is carried out. It includes measurements of the levels of autoantigen, autoantibodies, circulating immune complexes, complement system and immunoglobulins of different classes. Such analysis is diagnostically and prognostically important in a number of autoimune diseases.
2. Design of non-standard diagnostic systems based on indirect haemagglutination reaction and immuno-enzyme analysis for quantitative measurement of various antigens and antibodies in biological materials in accordance with the proposed diagnostic and research tasks.

Popova Olga Jakovlevna, MD, PhD
Scientific interests: phagocytes, peptides and amino acids as immunomodulators, immunomodulatory and detoxicating effects of peptide and amino acid medicines.
Applied aspects: clinical immunology, microscopic estimation of phagocytic and metabolic activity of granulocytes and monocytes (the NBT-TEST).

Zhitnuhin Yury Leonidovich, MD, PhD , senior scientist
Scientific interests: autoimmune pathology, EAE, cytokines, immunoregulation, immunomodulation.
Applied aspects: clinical-immunological characteristic of autoimmune demyelinating processes under experimental conditions (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis) and in clinic (multiple sclerosis), studying of the mechanisms of pathogenesis, roles of cytokines, means of immunocorrection.

Kisseleva Ekaterina Prohorovna, MD, PhD, doctor of medical sciences, senior scientist,
Scientific interests: immunology of tumor growth, cytokine, apoptosis, angiogenesis.
Applied aspects: the use of experimental models (experiments on mice, work with primary cell cultures and cell lines) for studying immunomodulatory effects of various grows factors, organization and realization of research projects in tumor immunology.

Starikova Elleonora, PhD,
Scientific interests: interaction of immune system cells, cytokines.
Applied aspects: Use of complex of methods including cell culture, immunoenzyme analysis and cell immunoenzyme analysis to define changes of proliferative activity, surface phenotype, production and secretion of cytokines by endothelial cells EA.hy 926 under the influence of cytokines. The revealed changes will allow to judge on the influence of these substances on certain stages of inflammation.

Kissina Tatjana, PhD,
Scientific interests: interaction of immune cells, cytokines.
Applied aspects: Development of the tests for the detection of individual features of specific immune response in patients with lung tuberculosis. Development of these tests includes determination of the sensitivity of immune cells of patients with lung tuberculosis to mitogens and specific antigen - tuberculin.

Kusnetsova Svetlana A., PhD.
Scientific interests: interaction of immune system cells, cytokines.
Applied aspects: Use of complex of methods including cell culture, immunoenzyme analysis, PCR/
