Suppression of adaptive immunity to heterologous antigens during plasmodium infection through hemozoin-induced failure of dendritic cell function [PDF]

, 2006
Dendritic cells (DCs) are central to the initiation and regulation of the adaptive immune response during infection. Modulation of DC function may therefore allow evasion of the immune system by pathogens.

Maternal immune activation: evaluating immune responses to lipopolysaccharide in pregnant rats, their fetuses, and non-pregnant female counterparts

Schwarz, Jaclyn M.In this project, we examined the innate immune response involving the production and expression of immune-related genes and proteins, specifically for cytokines, that were induced using a model of Maternal Immune Activation (MIA ...

Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]

, 2014
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-

Biochemical and functional studies on mouse ficolin-B, a novel pattern recognition molecule of the innate immune system [PDF]

, 2011
Ficolins are members of the collectin family of proteins which in human and mice are able to recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on microbial surfaces.

Secreted Metabolites from Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, and Borrelia Biofilm: Modulation of Immunogenicity by a Nutraceutical Enzyme and Botanical Blend

Microorganisms
Bacterial biofilms are hardy, adaptable colonies, evading immune recognition while triggering and sustaining inflammation. The goals for this study were to present a method for testing the immunogenicity of secreted metabolites from pathogenic biofilm ...

Host and Viral Factors in HIV-Mediated Bystander Apoptosis

Viruses, 2017
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections lead to a progressive loss of CD4 T cells primarily via the process of apoptosis. With a limited number of infected cells and vastly disproportionate apoptosis in HIV infected patients, it is believed that ...

Subretinal delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 2 results in minimal immune responses that allow repeat vector administration in immunocompetent mice [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) vectors show considerable promise for ocular gene transfer. However, one potential barrier to efficacious long-term therapy is the development of immune responses against the vector or transgene ...

Immune Cell Responses to the Cattle Lungworm, Dictyocaulus viviparus [PDF]

, 2008
The cattle lungworm, Dictyocaulus viviparus, is a parasitic nematode, which can cause severe pulmonary disease. Repeated natural infections result in protective immunity, and a live attenuated vaccine exists.

Matched sizes of activating and inhibitory receptor/ligand pairs are required for optimal signal integration by human Natural Killer cells [PDF]

, 2010
It has been suggested that receptor-ligand complexes segregate or co-localise within immune synapses according to their size, and this is important for receptor signaling.

Viral antigen mediated NKp46 activation of NK cells results in tumor rejection via NK-DC crosstalk

, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in antitumor immunity, their activation being regulated through NK cell receptors. Although the endogenous ligands for these receptors are largely unknown, viral ligands have been identified. We investigated
