Intracellular infection and immune system cues rewire adipocytes to acquire immune function
Cell Metabolism, 2022 Adipose tissue (AT) plays a central role in systemic metabolic homeostasis, but its function during bacterial infection remains unclear. Following subcutaneous bacterial infection, adipocytes surrounding draining lymph nodes initiated a transcriptional response indicative of stimulation with IFN-γ and a shift away from lipid metabolism toward an ...

IDENTIFICATION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPECIFICITY OF ACTIVELY ACQUIRED TOLERANCE IN MICE [PDF]
Transplantation, 1963 Tolerance to CBA/Cum skin was induced in C3H/Anf Cum mice by neonatal injection of CBA/Cum spleen cells. The tolerant status of these mice was a specific one, for they were able to produce a normal amount of agglutinins against a challenge dose of rat RBC. The immune system responsible for the specificity of tolerance in these mice was identified to be

Systems analysis and controlled malaria infection in Europeans and Africans elucidate naturally acquired immunity [PDF]
Nature Immunology, 2021 Controlled human infections provide opportunities to study the interaction between the immune system and malaria parasites, which is essential for vaccine development. Here, we compared immune signatures of malaria-naive Europeans and of Africans with lifelong malaria exposure using mass cytometry, RNA sequencing and data integration, before and 5 and ...

Structural aspects of molecular recognition in the immune system. Part I: Acquired immunity (IUPAC Technical Report) [PDF]
Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2014 Abstract Humoral immunity allows the body to mount a defense against pathogens and foreign substances, and to respond with memory to subsequent exposures. The molecular participants may also recognize self-structures, leading to attack on the body and autoimmune disease. The main players in humoral immunity are antibody-producing B lymphocytes, and

Prospects for the development of adaptive medical immunology
Медицинская иммунология, 2023 The processes of adaptation of the human immune system to negative internal and external influences, including stress, infectious, environmental factors, are controlled by the neuroimmunoendocrine complex (NIEC). The normal functioning of the NIEC is the
