Hygiene hypothesis and innate immunity. evaluating the role of environmental factors and genetic polymorphisms on the expression of receptors of the innate immune system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background In ‘westernised’ countries, the prevalence of childhood asthma and allergy has risen throughout the last few decades. A series of epidemiological studies showed reduced prevalence of asthma and allergy among farmers’ children compared to non ...

A Comparison of the Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems in Cartilaginous Fish, Ray-Finned Fish, and Lobe-Finned Fish

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The immune system is composed of two subsystems—the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is the first to respond to pathogens and does not retain memory of previous responses.

Biochemical and functional studies on mouse ficolin-B, a novel pattern recognition molecule of the innate immune system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ficolins are members of the collectin family of proteins which in human and mice are able to recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on microbial surfaces.

Determinants of innate immune responses to mycobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Includes bibliographical references.Innate cells such as macrophages, monocytes, myeloid dendritic cells and granulocytes recognise mycobacteria and initiate immune responses such as phagocytosis, cytokine production and expression of maturation markers.

Defective apoptotic cell clearance activates innate immune response to protect Caenorhabditis elegans against pathogenic bacteria

open access: yesVirulence, 2021
Appropriate clearance of dead cells generated by apoptosis is critical to the development of multicellular organisms and tissue homeostasis. In mammals, the removal of apoptotic cell is mediated by polarized monocyte/macrophage populations of the innate ...

Die Kämpfe únd schláchten—the struggles and battles of innate-like effector T lymphocytes with microbes

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
The large majority of lymphocytes belong to the adaptive immune system, which are made up of B2 B cells and the αβ T cells; these are the effectors in an adaptive immune response.

Marginal zone B cells: virtues of innate-like antibody-producing lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Protective responses to microorganisms involve the nonspecific but rapid defence mechanisms of the innate immune system, followed by the specific but slow defence mechanisms of the adaptive immune system. Located as sentinels at the interface between the

Four Pathways Involving Innate Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015

Immunomodulation of Innate Immune Cells

open access: yes, 2020
Activation of innate immune system underlies both pathological and physiological inflammatory responses and is critical for the host. Regulated innate immune response is thus essential not only for the elimination of invading pathogens but also for the ...

Interaction between Cannabinoid System and Toll-Like Receptors Controls Inflammation

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system consisting of cannabinoid receptors, endogenous ligands, and biosynthetic and metabolizing enzymes, interest has been renewed in investigating the promise of cannabinoids as therapeutic agents.
