A high force of Plasmodium vivax blood-stage infection drives the rapid acquisition of immunity in Papua New Guinean children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2005
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 ...

Trained-immunity and cross-reactivity for protection: insights from the coronavirus disease 2019 and monkeypox emergencies for vaccine development

open access: yesExploration of Immunology, 2023
The emergence and re-emergence of pathogens is a public-health concern, which has become more evident after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the monkeypox outbreaks in early 2022.

Immune complex glomerulonephritis is induced in rats immunized with heterologous myeloperoxidase [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1994
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]

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2017
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: Implications and Applications in Vaccines and Immunotherapies

open access: yes, 2020
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject.

Heterologous Immunity: Role in Natural and Vaccine-Induced Resistance to Infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 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
