SELECTED ARTICLES ON IMMUNOLOGY AND CELIAC DISEASE -- PART 1
I promised you I would share a list of the articles I collected on
immunology and celiac disease research to better understand the terminology
used in celiac disease research papers. Well, here it is. It will be
weeks, though, before I get through reading all these articles.
Most of the articles are free on the internet. Free registration is
required to access some articles and abstracts. Articles that are not free
online, I obtained free at a major university health science library. It's
costly to purchase articles directly from the medical journal websites. If
you can't get to a university or medical school library, many public
libraries have Science magazine and the New England Journal of Medicine.
Some communities and hospitals offer public health libraries with some
medical journals on their shelves. Use the internet to explore the
periodical and journal catalogs of your local university and public
libraries to see what they have available.
The articles are in "pdf" file format, and you will need the Adobe Acrobat
Reader to read them. If you don't have it, you can download the Acrobat
Reader free from:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Hint: Save paper and volume by printing 2-sided copies. Use Acrobat
Reader's printing option to print "odd" or "even" pages only.

INTRODUCTIONS TO IMMUNOLOGY:
Before you get overwhelmed with medical terminology on immunology, the
following websites provide introductory illustrated overviews on immunology
in lay terms:
How Your Immune System Works

NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE:
The New England Journal of Medicine, http://content.nejm.org/ , ran an
excellent series of review articles under the heading "Advances in
Immunology". Here is a list of those articles plus an NEJM article
on "Molecular Mimicry" and on "Celiac Sprue". "Maternal Antibodies" is
only available online from the New England Journal of Medicine website for
a $10 fee. For $29 you can have full 24 hour access to all NEJM articles.
All but the "Maternal Antibodies" article are available free from the
website of the Department of Internal Medicine, Brody School of Medicine at
East Carolina University:
http://www.ecu.edu/intmedresidency/CurrentResidents/reviewarticles.htm
Most articles are found under the heading Immunology & Molecular
Biology. "Vaccines" and "Allergy" are found under General
Medicine. "Asthma" is under Pulmonary & Critical Care. "Celiac Sprue" is
under Gastrointestinal Disease. While you're there, browse through the
numerous other medical articles which may interest you.
