Fish Granzyme A Shows a Greater Role Than Granzyme B in Fish Innate Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Granzymes (Gzm) are serine proteases, contained into the secretory granules of cytotoxic cells, responsible for the cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) against tumor cells and intracellular pathogens such as virus and bacteria.

Host Innate Immunity Against Hepatitis Viruses and Viral Immune Evasion
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hepatitis viruses are primary causative agents of hepatitis and represent a major source of public health problems in the world. The host innate immune system forms the first line of defense against hepatitis viruses.

Aging of the innate immune system [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2010 The innate immune system is composed of a network of cells including neutrophils, NK and NKT cells, monocytes/macrophages, and dendritic cells that mediate the earliest interactions with pathogens. Age-associated defects are observed in the activation of all of these cell types, linked to compromised signal transduction pathways including the Toll-like

Fish Peroxiredoxins and Their Role in Immunity
Biology, 2015 Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a family of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells from oxidative damage. In addition, Prxs may act as modulators of inflammation, protect against cell death and tumour progression, and facilitate tissue repair after damage. The

The Evasion of Antiviral Innate Immunity by Chicken DNA Viruses
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The innate immune system constitutes the first line of host defense. Viruses have evolved multiple mechanisms to escape host immune surveillance, which has been explored extensively for human DNA viruses. There is growing evidence showing the interaction

Getting on in Old Age: How the Gut Microbiota Interferes With Brain Innate Immunity
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 The immune system is crucial for defending against various invaders, such as pathogens, cancer cells or misfolded proteins. With increasing age, the diminishing immune response, known as immunosenescence, becomes evident.
