Network topologies and dynamics leading to endotoxin tolerance and priming in innate immune cells. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2012 The innate immune system, acting as the first line of host defense, senses and adapts to foreign challenges through complex intracellular and intercellular signaling networks.

Determinants of the relationship between cytokine production in pregnant women and their infants. [PDF]
, 2009 Exposure to environmental factors during fetal life and infancy is thought to play an important role in the early development of innate and adaptive immunity.

Immune-priming in ant larvae: social immunity does not undermine individual immunity [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2013 Social insects deploy numerous strategies against pathogens including behavioural, biochemical and immunological responses. While past research has revealed that adult social insects can generate immunity, few studies have focused on the immune function during an insect's early life stages.

Wolbachia-associated bacterial protection in the mosquito Aedes aegypti. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 BACKGROUND: Wolbachia infections confer protection for their insect hosts against a range of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, nematodes and the malaria parasite.

Why and how do protective symbionts impact immune priming with pathogens in invertebrates?
, 2021 International audienceGrowing evidence demonstrates that invertebrates display adaptive-like immune abilities, commonly known as “immune priming”. Immune priming is a process by which a host improves its immune defences following an initial pathogenic ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Pathogens are identified as one of the major drivers behind the honeybee colony losses, as well as one of the reasons for the reported declines in terrestrial insect abundances in recent decades.

A DNA vaccine construct incorporating intercellular trafficking and intracellular targeting motifs effectively primes and induces memory B and T cell responses in outbred animals [PDF]
, 2007 We developed a vaccine construct in which a BVP22 domain and an invariant-chain major histocompatibility complex class II-targeting motif capable of enhancing dendritic cell antigen uptake and presentation were fused to a sequence encoding a B- and T ...

CD4+ T-cell priming as biomarker to study immune response to preventive vaccines
Frontiers in Immunology, 2013 T-cell priming is a critical event in the initiation of the immune response to vaccination since it deeply influences both the magnitude and the quality of the immune response induced.
