Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses Against Microsporidia Infection in Mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular and eukaryotic pathogens that can infect immunocompromised and immunocompetent mammals, including humans. Both innate and adaptive immune systems play important roles against microsporidian infection.

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

Physiology and Pathology of Innate Immune Response Against Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Pathogen infections are recognized by the immune system, which consists of two types of responses: an innate immune response and an antigen-specific adaptive immune response.

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.

The roles of extracellular vesicles in the immune system

open access: yesNature reviews. Immunology, 2022
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as having ubiquitous roles in the immune system. This Review focuses on the progress made in the field in the past 5 years, including the roles of EVs in innate and adaptive immunity and their ...

Regulation of short-chain fatty acids in the immune system

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
A growing body of research suggests that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), metabolites produced by intestinal symbiotic bacteria that ferment dietary fibers (DFs), play a crucial role in the health status of symbiotes. SCFAs act on a variety of cell types
