Adaptive Immunity in Hypertension [PDF]

Current Hypertension Reports, 2019
In recent years, a vast body of evidence has accumulated indicating the role of the immune system in the regulation of blood pressure and modulation of hypertensive pathology. Numerous cells of the immune system, both innate and adaptive immunity, have been indicated to play an important role in the development and maintenance of hypertension.

HBV-Specific Adaptive Immunity

Viruses, 2009
The successful control of HBV infection requires an efficient expansion of distinct elements of the adaptive immune system (B cells, helper and cytotoxic T cells) that, due to the hepatotropic nature of HBV, need to operate in the liver parenchyma.

Adaptive immunity in the liver [PDF]

Cellular & Molecular Immunology, 2016
The anatomical architecture of the human liver and the diversity of its immune components endow the liver with its physiological function of immune competence. Adaptive immunity is a major arm of the immune system that is organized in a highly specialized and systematic manner, thus providing long-lasting protection with immunological memory.

The Adipocyte and Adaptive Immunity [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Not only do Adipocytes have energy storage and endocrine functions, but they also play an immunological role. Adipocytes are involved in adaptive immunity to mediate the pathological processes of a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune syndromes.

Novel bimodal TRBD1-TRBD2 rearrangements with dual or absent D-region contribute to TRB V-(D)-J combinatorial diversity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
T-cell receptor (TR) diversity of the variable domains is generated by recombination of both the alpha (TRA) and beta (TRB) chains. The textbook process of TRB chain production starts with TRBD and TRBJ gene rearrangement, followed by the rearrangement ...

Adaptive Immunity to Fungi [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014
Life-threatening fungal infections have risen sharply in recent years, owing to the advances and intensity of medical care that may blunt immunity in patients. This emerging crisis has created the growing need to clarify immune defense mechanisms against fungi with the ultimate goal of therapeutic intervention.

Pharmacological validation of targets regulating CD14 during macrophage differentiation

EBioMedicine, 2020
The signalling receptor for LPS, CD14, is a key marker of, and facilitator for, pro-inflammatory macrophage function. Pro-inflammatory macrophage differentiation remains a process facilitating a broad array of disease pathologies, and has recently ...

Adaptive immunity or evolutionary adaptation? Transgenerational immune systems at the crossroads

Biology & Philosophy, 2022
AbstractIn recent years, immune systems have sparked considerable interest within the philosophy of science. One issue that has received increased attention is whether other phyla besides vertebrates display an adaptive immune system. Particularly the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9-based systems has triggered a discussion about how to classify adaptive ...

Exploring the pre-immune landscape of antigen-specific T cells

Genome Medicine, 2018
Background Adaptive immune responses to newly encountered pathogens depend on the mobilization of antigen-specific clonotypes from a vastly diverse pool of naive T cells.
