A different form of Immunity without IgG or IgA.



The goal of the IIPGA is to discover and model the associations between nucleotide sequence variations, primarily Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Insertion/Deletion polymorphisms (Indels), in the genes of the innate immunity pathway in humans. The Program is two-fold: 


Part 1 identifies the common variable sites through sequencing and establishes their relative allele frequencies and haplotypes in four human populations having different evolutionary histories. Part two utilizes this data in case-control association studies of airways disease (i.e., asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). We have available to us a full array of bioinformatics tools for performing association analysis in human genetics. 



These tools and resources are important for any association study relating innate immune responses to disease in a whole host of complex common human disorders such as: airways disease, myocardial infarction, hypertension, stroke, Crohn's Disease, allergy, and diabetes to name a few.



Two of the major goals of the IIPGA are to establish a website to disseminate data to the public and develop an educational training program that will allow individuals with varying levels of knowledge and experience to become acquainted with modern genetic techniques.

Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against pathogens, and it is present at birth. This type of immunity is non-specific, meaning it provides a general defense against a wide range of pathogens without the need for prior exposure to them. Innate immunity includes physical barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes, as well as cellular and molecular defenses such as white blood cells, inflammation, and antimicrobial proteins. It serves as a rapid response to infections and helps to prevent the spread of pathogens in the body.
