A high force of Plasmodium vivax blood-stage infection drives the rapid acquisition of immunity in Papua New Guinean children [PDF]
When both parasite species are co-endemic, Plasmodium vivax incidence peaks in younger children compared to P. falciparum. To identify differences in the number of blood stage infections of these species and its potential link to acquisition of immunity,

Immunization with an autotransporter protein of Orientia tsutsugamushi provides protective immunity against scrub typhus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Scrub typhus is an acute febrile disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi infection. Recently, the rapid increase of scrub typhus incidence in several countries within the endemic region has become a serious public health issue.

Heterologous immunity in the absence of variant-specific antibodies after exposure to subpatent infection with blood-stage malaria [PDF]
We examined immunity induced by subpatent blood-stage malaria (undetectable by microscopy) using the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi, postulating that limited infection may allow expansion of antigen-specific T cells that are ...

Immune complex glomerulonephritis is induced in rats immunized with heterologous myeloperoxidase [PDF]
SUMMARY Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), including anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibodies, are associated with pauci-immune necrotizing small vessel vasculitis or glomerulonephritis, 1n order to substantiate a pathogenic role for ANCA, an animal model of pauci-immune ANCA-induced glomerulonephritis or vasculitis is required.

Heterologous autoimmunity and prokaryotic immune defense [PDF]
Some prokaryotes possess CRISPR-Cas systems that provide adaptive immunity to viruses guided by DNA segments called spacers acquired from invading phage. However, the patchy incidence and limited memory breadth of CRISPR-Cas systems suggest that their fitness benefits are offset by costs.

Heterologous Immunity and Persistent Murine Cytomegalovirus Infection [PDF]
ABSTRACT One's history of infections can affect the immune response to unrelated pathogens and influence disease outcome through the process of heterologous immunity. This can occur after acute viral infections, such as infections with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and vaccinia virus, where the pathogens are cleared ...

Heterologous Immunity: Role in Natural and Vaccine-Induced Resistance to Infections
The central paradigm of vaccination is to generate resistance to infection by a specific pathogen when the vacinee is re-exposed to that pathogen. This paradigm is based on two fundamental characteristics of the adaptive immune system, specificity and ...

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