Noninflammatory Changes of Microglia Are Sufficient to Cause Epilepsy. [PDF]

, 2018
Microglia are well known to play a critical role in maintaining brain homeostasis. However, their role in epileptogenesis has yet to be determined.

Mannose-Binding Lectin: Biologic Characteristics and Role in the Susceptibility to Infections and Ischemia-Reperfusion Related Injury in Critically Ill Neonates

Journal of Immunology Research, 2017
The mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a member of the collectin family, belonging to the innate immunity system. Genetic, biologic, and clinical properties of MBL have been widely investigated throughout the last decades, although some interesting aspects ...

Retinal degeneration mutation in Sftpa1tm1Kor/J and Sftpd -/- targeted mice.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Surfactant proteins are important collectin immune molecules with a wide distribution throughout the body, including the ocular system. Mice with gene deletions for the surfactant protein genes Sftpa1 and Sftpd were observed to have visual impairment and

Collectin-11 (CL-11) Is a Major Sentinel at Epithelial Surfaces and Key Pattern Recognition Molecule in Complement-Mediated Ischaemic Injury

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The complement system is a dynamic subset of the innate immune system, playing roles in host defense, clearance of immune complexes and cell debris, and priming the adaptive immune response.

Genetic determinants of complement activation in the general population

Cell Reports
Summary: Complement is a fundamental innate immune response component. Its alterations are associated with severe systemic diseases. To illuminate the complement’s genetic underpinnings, we conduct genome-wide association studies of the functional ...

Pulmonary Collectins and Defensins [PDF]

, 2001
Maintaining a sterile respiratory tract presents a unique host defense challenge determined, in part, by the large surface area of lung tissue that comes in direct contact with inhaled pathogens, particles, and gases. The constant exposure of the respiratory tract to microbial pathogens and associated inflammatory molecules is accommodated by a complex
