Autophagy and the Immune Response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Innate immunity and adaptive immunity play critical roles in maintaining normal physiological functions and the development of diseases. In innate immune responses, heterogeneous autophagy can directly remove intracellular pathogens while activating PRRs, including TLRs and NLRs, to trigger their signal transduction pathways and promote NKT cell ...

Neurodegeneration: Potential Causes, Prevention, and Future Treatment Options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Here I advance a hypothesis that neurodegeneration is a natural process associated with aging due to the loss of genetic redundancy following a mathematical model R(t) = R0(1-αe(βC+γI+δEt)t), where the calorie intake (C) and ...

Correlations in the T Cell Response to Altered Peptide Ligands

open access: yes, 2004
The vertebrate immune system is a wonder of modern evolution. Occasionally, however, correlations within the immune system lead to inappropriate recruitment of preexisting T cells against novel viral diseases.

Functional diversity of chemokines and chemokine receptors in response to viral infection of the central nervous system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Encounters with neurotropic viruses result in varied outcomes ranging from encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis or other serious consequences to relatively benign infection.

Host immune response to cytomegalovirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
To confirm that immediate-early (IE) genes of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) give rise to antigens recognized by specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL), a 10.8-kilobase fragment of MCMV DNA which is abundantly transcribed at IE times was transfected into ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Modelling cross-reactivity and memory in the cellular adaptive immune response to influenza infection in the host

open access: yes, 2016
The cellular adaptive immune response plays a key role in resolving influenza infection. Experiments where individuals are successively infected with different strains within a short timeframe provide insight into the underlying viral dynamics and the ...

Innate immunity, assessed by plasma NO measurements, is not suppressed during the incubation fast in eiders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and may mediate life history trade-offs, for example between reproduction and survival.

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Multiscale model for the effects of adaptive immunity suppression on the viral therapy of cancer

open access: yes, 2013
Oncolytic virotherapy - the use of viruses that specifically kill tumor cells - is an innovative and highly promising route for treating cancer. However, its therapeutic outcomes are mainly impaired by the host immune response to the viral infection.
