Host Resistance and Immune Aging [PDF]
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2016 Human immune system aging results in impaired responses to pathogens or vaccines. In the innate immune system, which mediates the earliest pro-inflammatory responses to immunologic challenge, processes ranging from Toll-like Receptor function to Neutrophil Extracellular Trap formation are generally diminished in older adults.

The Bcg Host-Resistance Gene [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 In the mouse, resistance and susceptibility to intracellular growth of mycobacteria in macrophages is controlled by the Bcg (Nramp1) gene, which has been cloned and shown to encode a macrophage phagosomal membrane protein with a putative transporter function.

The molecular basis of host specialization in bean pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae [PDF]
, 2012 Biotrophic phytopathogens are typically limited to their adapted host range. In recent decades, investigations have teased apart the general molecular basis of intraspecific variation for innate immunity of plants, typically involving receptor ...

Multiple Country and Breed Genomic Prediction of Tick Resistance in Beef Cattle
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Ticks cause substantial production losses for beef and dairy cattle. Cattle resistance to ticks is one of the most important factors affecting tick control, but largely neglected due to the challenge of phenotyping. In this study, we evaluate the pooling

Tomato resistance to Alternaria stem canker: localization in host genotypes and functional expression compared to non-host resistance [PDF]
, 1989 The Alternaria stem canker resistance locus (Asc-locus), involved in resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and in insensitivity to host-specific toxins (AAL-toxins) produced by the pathogen, was genetically mapped on ...
