Allorecognition and the spectrum of kidney transplant rejection [PDF]

, 2022
Detection of mismatched human leukocyte antigens by adaptive immune cells is considered as the main cause of transplant rejection, leading to either T-cell mediated rejection or antibody-mediated rejection.

Synergies of Extracellular Vesicles and Microchimerism in Promoting Immunotolerance During Pregnancy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The concept of biological identity has been traditionally a central issue in immunology. The assumption that entities foreign to a specific organism should be rejected by its immune system, while self-entities do not trigger an immune response is ...

Invertebrate allorecognition [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Most colonial marine invertebrates live as surface encrustations in benthic environments. As they grow, these animals frequently encounter other members of their own species. These encounters typically lead to conflict, in which the colonies aggressively compete for space, or co-existence, in which the colonies peacefully border each other.

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

Cyclic AMP is dispensable for allorecognition in Dictyostelium cells overexpressing PKA-C [PDF]

, 2021
Allorecognition and tissue formation are interconnected processes that require signaling between matching pairs of the polymorphic transmembrane proteins TgrB1 and TgrC1 in Dictyostelium.

Botryllus schlosseri as a Unique Colonial Chordate Model for the Study and Modulation of Innate Immune Activity

Marine Drugs, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms that sustain immunological nonreactivity is essential for maintaining tissue in syngeneic and allogeneic settings, such as transplantation and pregnancy tolerance.

Invertebrate Allorecognition: The Origins of Histocompatibility [PDF]

Current Biology, 2009
Alloimmune specificity and histocompatibility, driven by genetic polymorphism, are ancient determinants of self-/non-self-recognition. Recent molecular genetic evidence has revealed an allodeterminant in the cnidarian Hydractinia that consistently predicts histocompatibility reactions.

Identification of allorecognition loci in neurospora crassa by genomics and evolutionary approaches [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the genetic and molecular bases of the ability to distinguish self from nonself (allorecognition) and mechanisms underlying evolution of allorecognition systems is an important endeavor for understanding cases where it becomes dysfunctional,

The Fetal Allograft Revisited: Does the Study of an Ancient Invertebrate Species Shed Light on the Role of Natural Killer Cells at the Maternal-Fetal Interface?

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2008
Human pregnancy poses a fundamental immunological problem because the placenta and fetus are genetically different from the host mother. Classical transplantation theory has not provided a plausible solution to this problem.
