Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]

, 2018
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

One Step Ahead: Herpesviruses Light the Way to Understanding Interferon-Stimulated Genes (ISGs)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The host immune system is engaged in a constant battle with microorganisms, with the immediate detection of pathogenic invasion and subsequent signalling acting as crucial deterrents against the establishment of a successful infection.

High-Yield Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Monocytes and Macrophages Are Functionally Comparable With Primary Cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Macrophages are pivotal effectors of host immunity and regulators of tissue homeostasis. Understanding of human macrophage biology has been hampered by the lack of reliable and scalable models for cellular and genetic studies.

Breaking Entry-and Species Barriers: LentiBOOST^® Plus Polybrene Enhances Transduction Efficacy of Dendritic Cells and Monocytes by Adenovirus 5

Viruses, 2022
Due to their ability to trigger strong immune responses, adenoviruses (HAdVs) in general and the serotype5 (HAdV-5) in particular are amongst the most popular viral vectors in research and clinical application.

Using the nonhuman primate model of HCMV to guide vaccine development. [PDF]

, 2014
The natural history of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is inextricably associated with mucosal surfaces. The vast preponderance of primary infections occur following mucosal exposure to infectious virions, and the high seroprevalence of HCMV throughout the ...

Soluble CD83 improves and accelerates wound healing by the induction of pro-resolving macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
To facilitate the recovery process of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds novel pro-resolving treatment options are urgently needed. We investigated the pro-regenerative properties of soluble CD83 (sCD83) on cutaneous wound healing, where sCD83 accelerated ...

Modelling and in vitro testing of the HIV-1 Nef fitness landscape. [PDF]

, 2019
An effective vaccine is urgently required to curb the HIV-1 epidemic. We have previously described an approach to model the fitness landscape of several HIV-1 proteins, and have validated the results against experimental and clinical data.

Immune Response Modulation by Tumor-Secreted Glycosphingolipids [PDF]

, 2014
Although originally considered merely structural components of cellular membranes, glycosphingolipids (GSL) arenow recognized as having critical effects on cellular physiology, including proliferation, differentiation, viraltransformation and ontogenesis.

IMMUNE MODULATION AND SEPSIS

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 1997
SUMMARYThe pathogenesis of sepsis involves not only microbial toxins but also activated host inflammatory mediators. Therefore, besides conventional antibiotic or surgical treatment of infection and supportive intensive therapy, modulating host inflammatory mediators as a conjunctive therapeutic option has been explored in the past decade.
