Infections with extracellular trypanosomes require control by efficient innate immune mechanisms and can result in the destruction of the mammalian humoral immune system [PDF]
, 2020 Salivarian trypanosomes are extracellular parasites that affect humans, livestock, and game animals around the world. Through co-evolution with the mammalian immune system, trypanosomes have developed defense mechanisms that allow them to thrive in blood,

Evolutionary trade-off between innate and acquired immune defences in birds
Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background The development, maintenance, and use of immune defences are costly. Therefore, animals face trade-offs in terms of resource allocation within their immune system and between their immune system and other physiological processes.

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase genes in Tribolium castaneum: evolution, molecular characterisation and gene expression during immune priming. [PDF]
, 2017 The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a normal consequence of the aerobic cell metabolism. Despite their high and potentially detrimental reactivity with various biomolecules, the endogenous production of ROS is a vital part of physiological,

Gnawing Between Cells and Cells in the Immune System: Friend or Foe? A Review of Trogocytosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Trogocytosis occurs when one cell contacts and quickly nibbles another cell and is characterized by contact between living cells and rapid transfer of membrane fragments with functional integrity. Many immune cells are involved in this process, such as T

Pyridoxine, folate, and cobalamin and the condition of the innate and acquired immunity [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2022 The immune response to the pathogen depends on the state and coordinated activity of innate and acquired immunity. To date, the positive role of many micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in maintaining homeostasis of the human immune system has been ...

Antigen-specific acquired immunity in human brucellosis: implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and vaccine development. [PDF]
, 2012 Brucella spp., are Gram negative bacteria that cause disease by growing within monocyte/macrophage lineage cells. Clinical manifestations of brucellosis are immune mediated, not due to bacterial virulence factors.

Opiates, immune system, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and nonhuman primate model [PDF]
Journal of Neurovirology, 2008 Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and illicit drug addiction remain major health problems not only in the United States but all over globe. The effect of drug addiction on HIV/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) has been somewhat underexplored.
