Differential Alloreactivity: Lessons Learned From a Singular HLA Locus. [PDF]
HLAABSTRACT Alloreactivity entails the recognition of cells and tissues from one individual as foreign by T cells and other immune effectors from another individual. Alloreactive immune responses play an important role in various clinical contexts, in particular in transplantation.

Model Systems of Invertebrate Allorecognition [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 Nearly all colonial marine invertebrates are capable of allorecognition--the ability to distinguish between self and genetically distinct members of the same species. When two or more colonies grow into contact, they either reject each other and compete for the contested space or fuse and form a single, chimeric colony. The specificity of this response

eLife, 2022 Organisms require the ability to differentiate themselves from organisms of different or even the same species. Allorecognition processes in filamentous fungi are essential to ensure identity of an interconnected syncytial colony to protect it from ...

Establishment of the immunological self in juvenile Patiria pectinifera post-metamorphosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Ontogeny of the immune system is a fundamental immunology issue. One indicator of immune system maturation is the establishment of the immunological self, which describes the ability of the immune system to distinguish allogeneic individuals ...

Immunological Reviews, 2014 SummaryVertebrates mount strong adaptive immune responses to transplanted organs (allografts), but the mechanisms by which the innate immune system initiates this response are not completely understood. In anti‐microbial immunity, non‐self molecules associated with pathogens but not present in the host induce the maturation of innate antigen‐presenting

TgrC1 Has Distinct Functions in Dictyostelium Development and Allorecognition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The cell adhesion glycoproteins, TgrB1 and TgrC1, are essential for Dictyostelium development and allorecognition, but it has been impossible to determine whether their pleiotropic roles are due to one common function or to distinct functions in separate

Genesis of a fungal non-self recognition repertoire. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Conspecific allorecognition, the ability for an organism to discriminate its own cells from those of another individual of the same species, has been developed by many organisms.

Cytoplasmic Mixing, Not Nuclear Coexistence, Can Explain Somatic Incompatibility in Basidiomycetes
Microorganisms, 2021 Nonself recognition leading to somatic incompatibility (SI) is commonly used by mycologists to distinguish fungal individuals. Despite this, the process remains poorly understood in basidiomycetes as all current models of SI are based on genetic and ...

Expression of putative immune response genes during early ontogeny in the coral Acropora millepora. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Corals, like many other marine invertebrates, lack a mature allorecognition system in early life history stages. Indeed, in early ontogeny, when corals acquire and establish associations with various surface microbiota and dinoflagellate endosymbionts ...
