The Lymphotoxin β Receptor Is Essential for Upregulation of IFN‐Induced Guanylate‐Binding Proteins and Survival after Toxoplasma gondii Infection

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) signaling plays an important role in efficient initiation of host responses to a variety of pathogens, encompassing viruses, bacteria, and protozoans via induction of the type I interferon response. The present study reveals that after Toxoplasma gondii infection, LTβR−/− mice show a substantially reduced survival rate ...

Remarkable Role of Indoleamine 2,3‐Dioxygenase and Tryptophan Metabolites in Infectious Diseases: Potential Role in Macrophage‐Mediated Inflammatory Diseases

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), the L‐tryptophan‐degrading enzyme, plays a key role in the immunomodulatory effects on several types of immune cells. Originally known for its regulatory function during pregnancy and chronic inflammation in tumorigenesis, the activity of IDO1 seems to modify the inflammatory state of infectious diseases.

Epstein‐Barr‐Virus‐Positive B‐Cell Lymphoma of Recipient Origin Despite of the Elimination of Clonally EBV‐Infected T Cells by Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in a Patient with Chronic Active EBV Infection

Case Reports in Transplantation, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
A 20‐year‐old patient with chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) received peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from HLA‐one‐locus‐mismatched mother. Although EB‐virus‐infected T cells were eliminated after PBSCT, she developed EB‐virus‐positive B‐cell lymphoma of recipient origin in the brain. By reducing the immunosuppressive therapy, the

Ophthalmic Parasitosis: A Review Article

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Ocular parasitosis in human is more prevalent in geographical areas where environmental factors and poor sanitary conditions favor the parasitism between man and animals. Lesions in the eye can be due to damage directly caused by the infectious pathogen, indirect pathology caused by toxic products, or the immune response incited by infections or ...
