Longitudinal serological measures of common infection in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2018
Antibodies against pathogens provide information on exposure to infectious agents and are meaningful measures of past and present infection. Antibodies were measured in the plasma of children that are the offspring in a population-based birth cohort, the

Common strategies for antigenic variation by bacterial, fungal and protozoan pathogens [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2009
The complex relationships between infectious organisms and their hosts often reflect the continuing struggle of the pathogen to proliferate and spread to new hosts, and the need of the infected individual to control and potentially eradicate the infecting population.

Opportunities for integrated pest management to control the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and

Identification of T helper (Th)1- and Th2-associated antigens of Cryptococcus neoformans in a murine model of pulmonary infection

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Cryptococcosis, caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, has been demonstrated to be controlled by T helper (Th)1 cells while Th2 cells are associated with fungal growth and dissemination.

The Role of Gut-Derived Microbial Antigens on Liver Fibrosis Initiation and Progression

open access: yesCells, 2019
Intestinal dysbiosis has recently become known as an important driver of gastrointestinal and liver disease. It remains poorly understood, however, how gastrointestinal microbes bypass the intestinal mucosa and enter systemic circulation to enact an ...

A Model Vaccine Exploiting Fungal Mannosylation to Increase Antigen Immunogenicity [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2005
Abstract Ag mannosylation represents a promising strategy to augment vaccine immunogenicity by targeting Ag to mannose receptors (MRs) on dendritic cells. Because fungi naturally mannosylate proteins, we hypothesized that Ags engineered in fungi would have an enhanced capacity to stimulate T cell responses.
