Allorecognition genes drive reproductive isolation in Podospora anserina

open access: yes, 2022
Allorecognition, the capacity to discriminate self from conspecific non-self, is a ubiquitous organismal feature typically governed by genes evolving under balancing selection.

Phylogenomics and systematics of botryllid ascidians, and implications for the evolution of allorecognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Allorecognition, the ability of an organism to distinguish kin from non-kin, or self from non-self, has been studied extensively in a group of invertebrate chordates, the colonial ascidians called botryllids (Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea, Family ...

NK cell allorecognition [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Immunology, 2017
My interest in uterine natural killer (NK) cells began in the early 1990s, when I and others described the striking accumulation of NK cells in the uterine mucosa during the establishment of the placenta. Whilst working as a reproductive pathologist, I had become intrigued by pre-eclampsia, a mysterious syndrome that only occurs in pregnant women.

The ‘immunology trap’ of anthozoans [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2011
Organisms commonly respond to infectious agents via effector arms of immune systems. However, whereas innate immunity in vertebrates has been intensely investigated, we still strive to understand how cnidarians’ immunity operates, consulting literature ...

Mathematical modeling of early cellular innate and adaptive immune responses to ischemia/reperfusion injury and solid organ allotransplantation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
A mathematical model of the early inflammatory response in transplantation is formulated with ordinary differential equations. We first consider the inflammatory events associated only with the initial surgical procedure and the subsequent ischemia ...

Experimental demonstration of the benefits of somatic fusion and the consequences for allorecognition

open access: yes, 2015
Allorecognition, the ability to distinguish “self” from “nonself” based on allelic differences at allorecognition loci, is common in all domains of life.

PATHWAYS OF RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN ANTIGENS IN THE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE TO ALLOGENEIC ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION

open access: yesВестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2016
Immunological allograft rejection is based on the process of recognition of donor antigens by T-cell receptors. Antigens are generally represented by molecules of major hystocompatibility complex (MHC), expressed by the donor organ tissue cells.

Mechanisms of allorecognition and xenorecognition in transplantation. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Transplant Res
Foreign antigen recognition is the ability of immune cells to distinguish self from nonself, which is crucial for immune responses in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In vertebrates, T cells play a pivotal role in graft rejection by recognizing alloantigens presented by antigen-presenting cells through direct, indirect, or semidirect pathways.

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. I. Morphological aspects [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2006
We studied colony specificity in the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachi which, as in other botryllid ascidians, leads to either fusion or non-fusion between contacting colonies.

Patterns of 1,748 Unique Human Alloimmune Responses Seen by Simple Machine Learning Algorithms

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Allele specific antibody response against the polymorphic system of HLA is the allogeneic response marker determining the immunological risk for graft acceptance before and after organ transplantation and therefore routinely studied during the patient's ...
