Viral Immunity: Cross-Priming with the Help of TLR3 [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2005
Cross-presentation is important for regulating T-cell responses to exogenous antigens and can maintain tolerance (cross-tolerance) or induce immune responses (cross-priming). Recent exciting results on the role of the Toll-like receptor TLR3 in promoting cross-priming of viral antigens provide new insights into the mechanisms that allow Toll-like ...

Oral immune priming with Bacillus thuringiensis induces a shift in the gene expression of Tribolium castaneum larvae

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background The phenomenon of immune priming, i.e. enhanced protection following a secondary exposure to a pathogen, has now been demonstrated in a wide range of invertebrate species.

Priming by recombinant chicken interleukin-2 induces selective expression of IL-8 and IL-18 mRNA in chicken heterophils during receptor-mediated phagocytosis of opsonized and nonopsonized Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis

open access: yes, 2003
Heterophils, the principal avian polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) equivalent to the mammalian neutrophil, function as professional phagocytes against bacterial infections, mediate acute inflammation, and respond to cytokine stimulation to aid in ...

Transgenerational Developmental Effects of Immune Priming in the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Immune priming, the increased chance to survive a secondary encounter with a pathogen, has been described for many invertebrate species, which lack the classical adaptive immune system of vertebrates.

Spätzle Regulates Developmental and Immune Trade-Offs Induced by Bacillus thuringiensis Priming in Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

open access: yesInsects
The red palm weevil (RPW) is an invasive pest that causes devastating damage to a variety of palm plants, which exhibit specific immune priming to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).

The Immune Revolution: A Case for Priming, Not Checkpoint [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Cell, 2018
Most tumors are unresponsive to immune checkpoint blockade, especially if deep immunosuppression in the tumor develops prior to and prevents T cell immunosurveillance. Failed or frustrated T cell priming often needs repair before successful sensitization to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

A mosquito mediator of parasite-induced immune priming [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Parasitology, 2015
Immune memory is a central feature of the mammalian adaptive immune system. The more primitive innate immune system of insects has also been shown to comprise memory, or immune priming. A recent study has shed new light on how Plasmodium primes the mosquito immune system for greater resistance to a subsequent infection with the same pathogen.

Rift Valley Fever Virus Primes Immune Responses in Aedes aegypti Cells

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
The ongoing global emergence of arthropod-borne (arbo) viruses has accelerated research into the interactions of these viruses with the immune systems of their vectors. Only limited information exists on how bunyaviruses, such as Rift Valley fever virus (

Immunological Distinctions between Acellular and Whole-Cell Pertussis Immunizations of Baboons Persist for at Least One Year after Acellular Vaccine Boosting

open access: yesVaccines, 2020
While both whole-cell (wP) and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines have been highly effective at reducing the global pertussis disease burden, there are concerns that compared to wP vaccination, the immune responses to aP vaccination may wane more rapidly.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
