Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]

, 2011
Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

Oral Immune Priming Treatment Alters Microbiome Composition in the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
It is now well-established that the microbiome is relevant for many of an organism’s properties and that its composition reacts dynamically to various conditions.

HDAC Inhibition to Prime Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors [PDF]

Cancers, 2021
Immunotherapy has made a breakthrough in medical oncology with the approval of several immune checkpoint inhibitors in clinical routine, improving overall survival of advanced cancer patients with refractory disease. However only a minority of patients experience a durable response with these agents, which has led to the development of combination ...

Neuroanatomical dissociation of encoding processes related to priming and explicit memory [PDF]

, 2002
Priming is a facilitation of cognitive processing with stimulus repetition that can occur without explicit memory. Whereas the functional neuroanatomy of perceptual priming at retrieval is established, encoding processes that initiate priming and ...

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.

Malaria impairs T cell clustering and immune priming despite normal signal 1 from dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2007
Interactions between antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are essential for the induction of an immune response. However, during malaria infection, DC function is compromised and immune responses against parasite and heterologous antigens

Exposure to Inactivated Deformed Wing Virus Leads to Trans-Generational Costs but Not Immune Priming in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

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.

Differential expression of immune defences is associated with specific host-parasite interactions in insects [PDF]

, 2009
Recent ecological studies in invertebrates show that the outcome of an infection is dependent on the specific pairing of host and parasite. Such specificity contrasts the long-held view that invertebrate innate immunity depends on a broadspectrum ...

Drosophila immune priming against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is short-lasting and depends on cellular and humoral immunity [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/p6]

F1000Research, 2013
Immune responses are traditionally divided into the innate and the adaptive arm, both of which are present in vertebrates, while only the innate arm is found in invertebrates.
